[2.0.17] Crash on game start (Linux Steam)

[Illiander42]

Game doesn't even get to the splash screen. Other games work fine, fullscreen and windowed.

No mods are currently enabled except Space Age (all three)

Independent install works fine, so this is a steam intergration issue.

Same here, on Archlinux.
It happened last week after a Steam update, I suppose they updated their runtime.

Running the game from the standalone version (downloaded from factorio.com) works perfectly, But impossible to run it from steam.

Here's the console log of steam when I try to launch the game :

These lines in your log look concerning: Opening zip /home/illy/.factorio/mods/Train_Ore_Color-016_1.2.0.zip failed: I/O error
Have you tried launching steam with this flag -compat-force-slr off ?
There's more discussion about the steam runtime in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=182&t=120128

Looks like everything works with that steam flag (and those lines go away), so I guess this confirms another one for the runtime breaking everything.

Tried forcing a few Proton versions and they crashed later in the boot process, but still before the main menu.

Merge threads because they're the same issue? (Except for their wierd systemd /home stuff (if it matters or helps, I don't run systemd and am willing to try some options if you think that would be useful for testing fixes))

2.0.20 did not fix this.
