Dear Maintainer, Since 2024-02-27 a new release of Steam was installed. Client version 1709168962. This release uses the Sniper runtime which causes Steamwebhelper to crash. After starting Steam I get a window that shows "Steamwebhelper is not responding" and the possibility to restart with different options. None of these work. Digging deeper see some problems with libcef.so and a core dump. At the moment I'm unable to start Steam. I reported an upstream bugreport with more information here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/10552
Fixed this issue by fixing my personal configuration. I had my '~/.config' directory symlinked to a different directoy on a SSD. Moving the '.config' directory back the the HDD where $HOME resides solved this issue. Closing this bug.
