    And once again every driver except one struggles as a new title is coming to Linux. These driver vendors really need to get their act together.

      I (and 4 other users on Steam) have the same issue with Nvidia drivers: it does not crash, but main menu and maps are black with some drawing artifacts. Case is discussed here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/268500...6292761093493/

      The GL debug output has these context errors:
      Code:
      [0208/202928:ERROR:gl_context_glx.cc(107)] Couldn't make context current with X drawable.

      Feral says they have not been able to reproduce yet.
      The strange thing is that Xpander69 has almost the same system than me (Archlinux 64, GTX970) and it works for him with 361.18 drivers. I also tried 352.63, same issue. Other games like Alien Isolation, Civ V and Shadow of Mordor work fine!

        Yes, but I do not see these messages when running Alien Isolation for instance.
        These errors seem unrelated, but could they interfere with a game?

          I have further news: it is now working on my "non-working" machine using a brand new user account! So that means the issue is not system wide, but related to some user specific setting. I am quite puzzled, because I had initally reinstalled Steam entirely on my non-working user account and it did not solve the issue. So that means the problem is with another file. It is also a relief, because diagnosing it should be a lot simpler. I will let other users having the same issue know, and see if they see the same thing, and if they can help figure out the cause.

            The issue was found: LC_ALL was set to French language, which uses comma as decimal separator. LC_ALL should be unset.
