doesn't seem to be a option to use a controller rather than the keyboard in the options menu [i might of been missing something] so i couldn't play it to its fullest

Not into the Saints Row games, but, being that it's free I'll give it a go

Quoting: M@yeulCThis won't solve the problem, though. I guess Valve didn't update the .deb on their website with the latest version.

This comes from the fact that the Open source drivers are compiled against a newer version of the libraries present in the runtime.

Try to launch it with:

STEAM_RUNTIME=0 steam
Then, update steam (opt into beta branch if necessary, I've been staying there for more than three years :P).

worked perfectly thankyou.

and with the updated drivers my games work [as expected] much better, plus no graphical glitches in Defense Grid 2 and Assault Android Cactus has a much smoother framerate.

thanks again

after doing the Padoka PPA and refreshing the update manager and it not coming up with any new software [i had levels 4 & 5 visible] i tried the Oibaf PPA and i got some updated drivers with that, still no luck though.
