Hi!

I'm getting some sort of crash when trying to run my steam app. Is this a known issue? Any workround?

Steps for reproducing this issue:

[lostdevfound]

hey, I experience the same issue. Steam takes all RAM when launched.

[MartinKratochvil]

I have same issue on arch.

[schmaragon]

How long does it usually take for these issues to get fixed(sorry i'm new to this)?

[schmaragon]

My workaround for this is to first launch steam via the command line, and then launch the game directly from the executable.

[lostdevfound]

Why should this workaround work, any ideas?
