I think games that require pressure-vessel are known to not work yet.
Hi @mlacunza
I don’t know if here is allowed posting support request or reporting this.
I’m not an expert, but a quick look at that trace. Did you really connect all the interfaces? I see some errors that may been related with network and process control make sure you connect at least:
$ sudo snap connect steam:process-control
$ sudo snap connect steam:network-control
$ sudo snap connect steam:hardware-observe
$ sudo snap connect steam:system-observeI already run all these commands before of my test
And if you run snap connections steam They appear manually connected?
If that is the case, maybe it’s the Linux side of gaming or like @lucyllewy say pressure-vessel Games are not supported 
This is the result:

Could you format the text to see it better? At first glance it seems that you are missing the snap connect steam:process-control Since it’s doesn’t say “manual”. But maybe you already have it connected in this case It’s as far I can help you since At this point I don’t know what more can be done with the snap 
On the subject of ProtonUp, it would be probably useful to either make the Steam Snap compatible with the ProtonUp-Qt flatpak or appimage, or to develop an alternative GUI app for ProtonUp either bundle into the Steam snap or as a separate companion snap. Because while some people have no issues using CLI for those sort of things, others prefer GUI. Notably newcomers to Linux would tend to associate a smooth experience with having a GUI based option.
I have no preferences on the subject but I suppose that given the current stance Canonical has over out of the box flatpak integration, either a native deb option or a snap (or bundled in the Steam snap) would be the more coherent approach.

Capcom Arcade Stadium with Street Fighter 2 is free on Steam for a limited time if anyone wants to try it with Proton.
My apologies if I sound like a hater or salty. I posted this issue on the GitHub repo about a month now, but didn’t receive any answer from anyone. Also, I haven’t seen any updates to the project, so I’m wondering if this has been discontinued ( I hope not )
Could someone please help me with this issue of steam snap not finding the native libraries ( eg libsound.so.2), or please ask me to provide more information if you need. Thank you so much.

I was already going to ask the same thing, there are several reports on GitHub and no activity has been perceived. I suppose they must be very busy with other things, but it would be good to know that this excellent initiative is not in abandonment.
Hey folks, just to reassure you, we’re absolutely committed to the Steam snap for the long term 
and we’re actively working to improve it.
We’ve got a couple of PRs in flight that we’re prioritising landing at the mo.

I’ll check in with the team on these specific issues, but keep them coming in the meantime and appreciate the engagement!

I’ve added some suggestions to help track down what’s happening in the Github issue. My suspicion is that this is a 32-bit vs. 64-bit issue. The libraries it is complaining about are available in the Steam snap, but only 64-bit versions.
The weird part is that Steam also downloads and unpacks a “steam-runtime.tar.xz” that contains copies of these 32-bit libraries that I would have thought the game would see. We can definitely add the extra libraries to the snap though.

As a follow-up, the game in question was 64-bit, so my initial guess that this was a 32-bit vs 64-bit issue was incorrect.
The problem turned out to be that the game’s launcher shell script resets LD_LIBRARY_PATH, so none of the extra libraries provided by the snap or even Steam’s own steam-runtime were visible. On the bright side, it means that the failure is specific to one game (or a class of games that are doing the same thing) rather than it being in some generic code path. It’s still something we should fix.
So the fix will likely involve getting the snap to run without the help of LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I’ve got some ideas about how to achieve this, but need to experiment a bit more.

Looks to be working fine! But i encountered one little bug or annoyance: in Settings, the left side selection excludes the “Steam Play” section and i had to go to Shader Pre-Caching one (as it is the bottomest that can be seen, and from that pressed arrow down key to get to Steam Play settings (to choose Proton etc.).
Thanks alot for this sandboxed Steam snap! Much appreciated!

Nice work, but can we have a way to easily migrate games downloaded by the .deb package ?

@kenvandineis working on a tool to help with this transition. More details to come!
How come Steam Snap thinks I only have 40GB storage?
Thankfully I got an extra SSD that I can use, but I just find that weird.

Steam just raw-launches native Linux games in what’s called the “scout” runtime, which is basically where it sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH (and a bunch of other variables) to its own pinned libraries. In ~the future~ we should probably containerize all games in their own Snaps (I think flatpak Steam already does this with flatpak containers).
E: Just realized this was months ago, the point still stands.
Glad to see steam snap making progress. (Thank you devs <3)

Installed Steam (Early Access) on Lunar. The installation worked OK. Could login to my account with the QR-code.
Installed CIV VI, wich worked OK. CIV VI launches in two steps, first CIV VI starts to run and then you get a pop up where you have to click PLAY. This pop up never happens. However it launches OK with with the Windows version in Proton and the eval command found on the site gamingonlinux.
To install and run CIV V works OK.
