Steam crashing after recent updates

Hello. For me, after some recent updates within the last two weeks, Steam is now crashing. I’ve uploaded the result of journalctl -n 100 --no-pager | fpaste: UNTITLED - Pastebin Service

The sig 11 is a segfault, in SteamWebHelper - see line 74 and 75.

The crash was in libGallium, at version 25.1.7. Has this been updated recently for you?

Module /run/host/usr/lib64/dri-freeworld/libgallium-25.1.7.so from rpm mesa-freeworld-25.1.7-1.fc42.x86_64
Stack trace of thread 15781:
#0  0x0000000000000000 n/a (n/a + 0x0)

You could try downgrading this mesa driver to an earlier version, or try disabling GPU acceleration for Steam itself. You can do this by passing it STEAM_DISABLE_GPU=1 flag when you invoke steam, as in STEAM_DISABLE_GPU=1 steam

I don’t have mesa-freeworld installed and Steam is working perfectly. Is it required? You might want to uninstall it to test. If it’s required, re-install it. It should be version 25.1.9 to be compatible with the current mesa release.

Possibly related to Mesa-va-drivers-freeworld - broken dependencies - #4 by leigh123linux

Edit: Turns out it isn’t related; 25.1.7 is installed for all *mesa* packages.

This works as a temporary solution.
