This package provides the steam-native script, which launches Steam with the STEAM_RUNTIME=0 environment variable making it ignore its runtime and only use system libraries. The steam-native-runtime package depends on over 130 packages to pose a native replacement of the Steam runtime, some games may however still require additional packages. Warning: Using the Steam native runtime is not recommended as it might break some games due to binary incompatibility and it might miss some libraries present in the Steam runtime. the OpenAL version of the Steam runtime lacks HRTF and surround71 support.

/usr/lib/steam/steam, the default Steam launch scriptĪs the Steam runtime libraries are older they can lack newer features, e.g.

steam-runtime (alias steam), which overrides runtime libraries known to cause problems via the LD_PRELOAD environment variable (see ld.so(8)).

The steam package offers two ways to launch Steam: Binary incompatibility can lead to the Steam client and games not starting (manifesting as a crash, as hanging or silently returning), audio issues and various other problems. If you mix the Steam runtime libraries with system libraries you will run into binary incompatibility issues, see steam-for-linux issue #4768. The Steam runtime is located at ~/.steam/root/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/. By default Steam launches all Steam Applications within the runtime environment. Steam for Linux ships with its own set of libraries called the Steam runtime. Steam Community discussions of the game.ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux – Issue tracking for the Steam for Linux client.
