I'm getting the following error upon start:

I'm not sure if this has to do with the latest changes to steam-runtime, but long story short, what makes things work again is to just use Steam Linux Runtime 3.0 (sniper) instead. A few days ago I was able to just select the runtime in the Steam game settings in the compatibility tab, however after trying stuff I was only able to select Steam Runtime 1.0 Scout via the dropdown menu and it wasn't possible to switch back to Steam Linux Runtime 3.0 (sniper).

After some digging I found out that Steam stores the selected compatibility tool per game setting in

Code: Select all

~/.local/share/Steam/config/config.vdf

so I manually edited that file

Code: Select all

					"427520"
					{
-						"name"		"steamlinuxruntime"
+						"name"		"SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper"
						"config"		""
						"priority"		"250"
					}

and now I'm able to run Factorio again.

According to the docs https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/steamrt/st ... e-3-sniper games may move over to using the newer runtime instead by adding a config file, mentioned games that did that already are for example:

Code: Select all

Early adopters of this mechanism included
Battle for Wesnoth,
Counter-Strike 2,
Dota 2,
Endless Sky and
Retroarch.

So when looking at the steamdb page of e.g. Battle for Wesnoth https://steamdb.info/app/599390/config/ you can see:

Configuration

Code: Select all

app_mappings	
1 ↴
platform	linux
tool	SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper
comment	sniper SLR
installdir	wesnoth

It would be great if you could consider moving the native Linux Factorio over to Steam Runtime 3 (sniper) as well.
