I have dropped the preload helper since #230 as it was complex and not needed any more.
You have steamruntime
enabled, which I personally don't recommend. Disabling it goes against Valve's advice but I've found it causes more issues than it solves. I just updated to freetype 2.11.0 and it works fine here. Newer games will run in a sandbox with a separate runtime regardless and older games can also be forced to use that runtime if you have any issues.
If you do disable steamruntime
and you don't force games to use the "Steam Linux Runtime" then you'll probably need to use games-util/esteam
to install any missing dependencies.
Hi, this is apparently a cross-distro issue which has been reported on Steam's side at https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/7935.
I thought enabling the harfbuzz
USE flag on freetype might trigger it but nope, still works here.
Triaged in the beta client of Steam.
After upgrading to media-libs/freetype-2.11.0, Steam refused to start. The main window and the friends list were simply black rectangles, Steam took 200% CPU, and it wrote the following in an infinite loop on the terminal where it was started:
After downgrading media-libs/freetype to 2.10.4, Steam works again with no issues.
This sounds similar to #230.
