[0.16.17] Game won't start, not creating new log file

[EnigmaticAussie]

OS: Ubuntu
Game Version: Factorio 0.16.17, linux64, steam

I've patched and updated my OS, Steam and Factorio.
I've validated the game files via Steam, no resolution.

On starting the game, I get the Steam overlay "Starting game: Factorio". Then it exits without warning.
/home/user/.factorio/factorio-current.log hasn't changed since the last time I was actually in the game using version 0.16.16

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Factorio through Steam.
Game now starts.
[edit] Silly duffer didn't check the version number. Game started 0.15.40. Original issue not yet resolved[/edit]

Posting for others who may be affected by this strange behaviour.

Seeing the same issue. Running Steam and Factorio from a console, something jumped out at me:

/home/roothorick/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Factorio/bin/x64/factorio: error while loading shared libraries: libsteam_api.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Someone forgot something

Can confirm. Same error when starting via terminal.

I'm missing a library dependency after I upgraded to 0.16.17. (0.16.16 worked.)

(And I was looking forward to attacking spawners with my mining axe )

I'm missing a library dependency after I upgraded to 0.16.17. (0.16.16 worked.)

...

Downloaded 0.16.16 to resume playing, check with ldd, and there's no mention of libssl or libcrypto. Looks like they are new dependencies. I have versions 1.1.0g and 1.0.2m installed, but 1.0.0 is too old for my distro to offer (Fedora 27):

Anyway, I'm happily playing 0.16.16, waiting for 0.16.18 to come out to peruse the changelog.
