Hi, I updated my computer last night, and since then, the GIFs on the Discord client (Vesktop, more precisely) are completely blank and I can’t launch runtime Steam anymore, I have the same error message everytime “steamwebhelper, a critical Steam component, is not responding. The Steam UI will not be usable”. There’s multiple options, like restarting Steam with GPU Acceleration disabled, but none of them work.
It’s kinda strange, as when I access discord on my browser (Brave), gifs are showing up perfectly fine, and Flatpak Steam is launching without any problem.
There’s other topics where people downgraded glibc and lib32-glibc, and it worked for them, but not for me.
here’s the log when I try to launch Steam through the terminal:
Does anyone have the same problem?
Hi. In a terminal, please run:
steam-native
If it doesn’t launch, please copy the text output (not an image/screenshot) and post it here.
It may be a good idea to fully update your system once more before doing this.
sorry, I meant to say “Runtime Steam”, which is why I used the steam command in the terminal
No worries. But please, still copy the text and paste it here. It’s easier to read and search through.
Sure, and thanks a lot for looking into this
