I wanted to try Surviving Mars on Steam.
It doesn't work propoerly on Debian Buster.
see :
- https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/surviving-mars-fails-to-start-debian-or-devuan-stable-replies-say-also-ubuntu-19-04.1462619/#post-27620202

I found a workaround:
- download libc6 package from bulleyse : https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/libc6
- extract libm-2.31.so
- copy libm-2.31.so in ~/.local/share/Surviving Mars/lib
- create symlink ~/.local/share/SurvivingMars -> 'Surviving Mars'
cd ~/.local/share/
ln -s Surviving\ Mars SurvivingMars
- add this line in game option :
LD_PRELOAD="$HOME/.local/share/SurvivingMars/lib/libm-2.31.so" %command%
The game starts now
Hope it will help since there is no fix for now
Note: symlink is not mandatory but don't use space in LD_PRELOAD path
edit: fix ysylya according to https://www.gamingonlinux.com/forum/topic/4957/post_id=33111

Isn't Soldier related to Proton?

You enable it the same way as Proton. Properties, Compatibility tab, select Steam Linux Runtime.

It depends where you store the lib
Thank you so much, it works now!
However, I had to tweak your launch option a tiny bit:
- Probably the forum automatically modified the apostrophes to a nicer one but these (“) won't work.
- For some reason, in Steam, the tilde (~) doesn't work for me but $HOME does.
So a modified launch option:
LD_PRELOAD="$HOME/.local/share/SurvivingMars/lib/libm-2.31.so" %command%
And for the less experienced, here is the symlink creation command:
cd ~/.local/share/
ln -s Surviving\ Mars SurvivingMars

Nice
I use full path, so I assumed ~ worked :/
I used symlink because if there is a space in the path, it doesn't work. I assume tilde cause the same pb.
