[2.1.17][Linux] SteamAPI not initializing

[Lejoni]

Ever sins 2.1.15 (I think) the game complains about not being able to initialize SteamAPI and recommends to restart Steam.
Restarting Steam client does not help. And it is still an issue for me in 2.1.17.
This results in lots of achievements triggering again every time I load my save. And any BP not saved in the game save is not accessible.

Have you tried restarting the machine?

Likely your Steam client is outdated and needs to be updated. What version of Steam do you have installed?

[Lejoni]

Ok Steam version was likely the problem.
For some reason Steam failed to update itself. So have made a complete reinstall.

Yeah that solved the issue. Thanks for the help.
