Steam Beta on Linux causes game to launch with white screen.

#1 Post by LordSocky »

Updating to the new library beta on Linux causes both Steam and ToME4 to mutually break each other. The game window goes entirely white and sometimes (though not every time) the Steam Library itself becomes unresponsive until restarting the entire Steam client. The game functions perfectly fine once you revert back to the non-beta client. This happens on both the 1.6 beta and current 1.5 patch, but the logs attached are from 1.5.

The logging command for Linux in the stickied post doesn't appear to work, but I pulled some logs after launching Steam through the terminal for both the working and broken version, hopefully they'll suffice.

Ugh .... and can you try the beta client with overlay disabled? I'd assume it works too ?

Didn't even occur to me to try that; yep, it works perfectly with the overlay disabled. I rarely even use the overlay, so that'll suffice as a workaround for now.

Disabling the overlay doesn't fix the problem for me. I get the white screen every time when launching through Steam.
