@shithedark
Is this still an issue? The issue had gone away on my machine, I'm wondering if it's just me or others as well.

[shithedark]

@ashuntu sadly the problem is still occuring even tho i am on the edge channels.

Try installing the 32-bit NVIDIA drivers as described here: https://github.com/canonical/steam-snap/wiki/FAQ#32-bit-driver

[ashuntu]

I'm going to close this due to inactivity. I'd imagine this is related to #311.

In any case, make sure you have 32-bit NVIDIA drivers installed as well as the normal 64-bit drivers. If this is still an issue, you can try working around it by running sudo /usr/lib/snapd/snap-discard-ns steam from a terminal or rebooting your system.
