Dear list,

since Tumbleweed moved to a new pulseaudio version some weeks ago ALL unity3D-engine games on steam refuse to launch through steam.

A WORKAROUND by Tak is described here https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/3888

Is this the right place to reach the steam.rpm maintainer to fix this? steam.rpm just needs to require alsa-devel and alsa-devel-32bit packages - which will load the systems libasound2 and fix the games.

Tak writes in full:

"I installed an OpenSUSE Tumbleweed VM and was able to reproduce the issue. It appears to be a crash in the audio stack due to mismatches between the steam runtime and the host OS. (Related to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/2924). PulseAudio detection fails because of mismatches between the system and steam-runtime:

pulseaudio vs. liborc libgcrypt vs. libgpg-error

Then FMOD selects ALSA, and the crash occurs in libasound2, apparently because of incompatibility between the library in steam-runtime and the host driver.

Either of the following worked around the issue for me:

Moving the libgpg-error and liborc libraries (both i386 and x86_64!) out of steam-runtime (allows PulseAudio to be detected and used) Installing the alsa-devel and alsa-devel-32bit packages (seems to trigger the system libasound2 to be loaded)"

Thanks for bringing this up. A SR to the steam package was submitted and accepted https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/313151 and the updated requirements will be present in the next TW snapshot. Note that there's still a discussion in the Github issue whether the fix is right or not, but for now the workaround is in place.
