Steam-native crashing

Thought I might mention that ‘steam-native’ broke after it self updated the past 3 days.

Error in Terminal:

Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(1623193086)
[2021-06-10 22:01:04] Verifying installation...
[2021-06-10 22:01:04] Verification complete
Failed to load steamui.so - dlerror(): libpipewire-0.3.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[2021-06-10 22:01:09] Shutdown

You don’t need to install ’ libpipewire-0.3.so.0’, because steam-native will lockup when attempting to login.

You can use steam-runtime to launch steam.

Alternatively some people have removed ‘steam-native’ and replaced it with steam flatpak version

(I have not tested this yet).
