Quoting: x_wing
Quoting: FireBurnAny idea what they've changed? New packages? Updated packages?

I have to run this command so I use the native packages on my machine to prevent segfaults

find ~/.steam/root/ \( -name "libgcc_s.so*" -o -name "libstdc++.so*" -o -name "libxcb*.so*" -o -name "libvulkan.so*" \) -print -delete
I remember a guy that run this command but replaced the steam directory with the root directory (and with sudo!)

As advice, remember to check every command you use with this: https://explainshell.com/ [External Link]

About steam runtime, I though that steam was using system libraries by default. Maybe the problems happens with games (or proton) preferring steam runtimes libs?
I have to run with STEAM_RUNTIME_PREFER_HOST_LIBRARIES=0 too as most of my libraries are too new for the games using them, delete the above and everything runs fine using the steam runtime

Fab, love this game. It's currently available on Steam thanks to a bundled wine port. Would love to see this run natively. I remember playing this is a kid with surround speakers on a Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live card with the lights turned down off - terrifying

It didn't build for me without some patches, it doesn't feel well tested

Is the Lion King game one that came originally on floppies and asked for specific words out of the manual to run?
