You didn't say whether you meant a system update or the recent big update to the game. It's more likely to be the latter. This could be your hardened profile, but it's hard to say for sure. It doesn't work for me either, but in my case, it just hangs without showing anything.

[chewi]

Cancel that. It worked for me after restarting Steam. I still think it's the hardened profile in your case. I don't know whether you've enabled the Steam runtime or not, but try flipping that setting.

[blshkv]

so I do have "steamruntime" use flag enabled. By update, I meant gentoo update and it was like 1 week since the previous update. It could be steam update too, I don't pay attention much on that process. Few things I noticed:

• steam switched to 64-bit binaries (no idea when)
• local game works fine, the problem only with online games.
• specifically, it crashes before a new round is about to start

also, here is system logs:

It's a stab in the dark, but try enabling the hash-sysv-compat USE flag against sys-libs/glibc.

[blshkv]

yeap, I was trying to workaround and enabled before.

[ebuild   R    ] sys-libs/glibc-2.37-r7:2.2::gentoo  USE="cet hash-sysv-compat multiarch (multilib) (ssp) stack-realign (static-libs) -audit -caps -compile-locales (-crypt) (-custom-cflags) -doc -gd -headers-only -multilib-bootstrap -nscd -perl -profile (-selinux) -suid -systemd -systemtap -test (-vanilla)" 0 KiB

[blshkv]

funny enough, it started to work again after a recent upgrade. A new kernel, new NVIDIA driver. So it's hard to say what caused the issue exactly... Closing for now.
