Running Steam on ubuntu 12.04 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME has been set by the user to: /home/dxp/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime

Failed to load installscript /media/big/SteamLinux/SteamApps/common/Magical Diary/installscript.vdf
Game update: AppID 211340 "Magical Diary", ProcID 5860, IP 0.0.0.0:0
ERROR: ld.so: object 'gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored.
saving roaming config store to 'sharedconfig.vdf'
roaming config store 2 saved successfully
Fatal Python error: (pygame parachute) Segmentation Fault
Aborted (core dumped)

If I run the game directly when Steam is running, I get only:
$ ./MagicalDiary.sh
Fatal Python error: (pygame parachute) Segmentation Fault
Aborted (core dumped)
$

But if steam IS closed, I can play:
$ ./MagicalDiary.sh
[S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; SteamAPI_IsSteamRunning() failed.
[S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; unable to locate a running instance of Steam, or a local steamclient.dll.
$

Can you fix it? I want to play a game through a Steam GUI.

Sorry for slow replies, my linux partner is in a different timezone. We will get back to you when we can!

If you hold down shift while starting the game from within Steam and tell it to use the software renderer, does it still segfault?

(If yes, then I'll probably need to send you a build with added debugging in the steam API hooks.)

There is "Launch with software renderer" option in Steam. "Shift" key doesn't helped too. Error the same.

I do not think the problem is in the renderer system. Without Steam the game starts normally.

Yes, please, send me a build with debugging symbols.

The latest Steam build has a workaround for this bug (though you may have seen it already if you're also following the Steam MD forum). Sorry about the lag!
