Bug Description

We play Dota 2 in Steam on Ubuntu (since the game was just Warcraft and on Ubuntu 9.04, 10.10, 12.04, 16.04 and now trying on 20.04), but the Steam freezes and crashes(within a few minutes) without any err msg.
Can you please have a look!?

Though at first crash I got an error, before installing all the Graphics Packages. I took a screenshot. Please have a look at the attached file.

Seems to be a bug in steam itself, apparently now fixed upstream in the beta:
