[Solved]Steam - OpenGL GLX problem after update

Question

When I open steam it gives me this prompt:
"OpenGL GLX context is not using direct rendering, which may cause performance problems.
For more information visit https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=9938-EYZB-7457."
I had this problem before, but I solved it with this command:
rm ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6
rm ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1
rm ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1
rm ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6
rm ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libxcb.so.1
But now after newest update, nothing solves this problem. And also I can do nothing about steam updates, beacause steam updates itself. I am using mesa-git drivers for AMD. Everything was working fine before the latest update. The command I shown to you doesn't help now. Steam now launches itself,but all 3D games crash on startup. The output of command glxinfo|grep rendering is direct rendering: yes.

Answer 1

from the steam output :
libGL error: unable to load driver: r600_dri.so
libGL error: driver pointer missing
libGL error: failed to load driver: r600
libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast
Those libraries are in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/dri , both mesa-git 66716 and mesa-dri 10.3.5 symlink them to the r300_dri.so lib in the same folder.
( this is intentional due to recent changes in mesa).
To verify whether you have an OpenGL problem or a steam problem, try running native opengl applications like Xonotic or Oolite (both are in repos) .
