According to an upstream discussion [0], this seems to be a bug in xlib. Best wishes, Mike [0] https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/1420

Debian cannot do anything about this. Only Valve and their game developers can, so please submit a bug directly to them. > If you have a better way to send Linux bug reports to the mantainers, i will > be glad to know. Valve uses github for bug reports [0]. Once you've submitted a report there, please link back to it here. Best wishes, Mike [0] https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues

The script shipped with the package (/usr/games/steam) will automatically set the locale to C if a locale is not set. However, it won't override one that is already set. Do we want the package to override the user like that? Does Valve have a list of supported languages that we could use to decide whether or not to do so? Best wishes, Mike
Bug#903869: steam: Some games not open because of locales
Package: steam Version: 1.0.0.54-5 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, I tried to open some games, but automatcaly closes. No warning or errors appeared. After some different ways trying to open, i found that the Debian only load the language locale that the installation ask (only pt_BR.UTF-8, in my case). I needed to include the en_US.UTF-8 locale to run properly the games. I suggest that the steam package or client warn the needed locale. -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.16.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=pt_BR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=pt_BR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=pt_BR:pt:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages steam depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.67 ii libc6 2.27-4 ii libgl1-mesa-dri18.1.4-1 ii libgl1-mesa-glx18.1.4-1 ii libgpg-error0 1.32-1 ii libstdc++6 8.1.0-10 ii libudev1 239-5 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.5-1 ii libxinerama1 2:1.1.3-1+b3 ii xz-utils 5.2.2-1.3 Versions of packages steam recommends: ii fonts-liberation 1:1.07.4-7 ii gnome-terminal [x-terminal-emulator] 3.28.2-1 ii libxss1 1:1.2.2-1+b2 ii nvidia-driver-libs-i386 390.67-2 ii xterm [x-terminal-emulator] 333-1 ii zenity3.28.1-1 Versions of packages steam suggests: pn steam-devices -- debconf information: * steam/license: steam/purge: * steam/question: I AGREE
