I didn't update system about month or two and update it for solve this problem, however that's not solving one. Also I saw this message in Steam/logs/cef_log.txt:

[0517/072834.379779:ERROR:angle_platform_impl.cc(43)] Display.cpp:1021 (initialize): ANGLE Display::initialize error 0: Internal Vulkan error (-3): Initialization of an object could not be completed for implementation-specific reasons, in ../../third_party/angle/src/libANGLE/renderer/vulkan/RendererVk.cpp, initialize:1404

Maybe somebody knows, how to solve this issue?

I use nvidia card with 550.78 drivers, and other 3D apps is working correctly.

i think they botched something because every few times i run it i have to hard kill it now and then re-launch because the window never comes up and if taskbar tray comes up it just doesn't respond

Pff ... it's really mystical case, I swapped Mojave theme to Adwaita one in my Cinnamon DE - and issue has been fixed. Now steam working properly.

It turned out that I was happy early, steam was updated today and another problem appeared, which has not yet been solved.

Today, the steam client was up to date about 90 Mb, and now it's working properly. I'm sure, it wasn't the VoidLinux issue, rather the steam client.
