Launch Steam (snap version)

Hi ShadowWarfare

snap is not a supported version of steam. Please report this bug to canonical directly, or preferably switch to a supported version of steam. E.g. install the .deb package directly from the steam website.

Not helpful! I've just tried this with the deb version from the official steam site and the deb version in the Ubuntu repository and does the same problem. So this needs to be re-opened.

I can confirm that after uninstalling steam client as snap (god damned snaps auto-update feature on Ubuntu) and reinstalling it from Valve as deb - it returned back to normal
