Do you still run Steam?
You should try the beta before they push it to release, as it's broken again for NFSv4.

Thank you for coding this, by the way.

I responded regarding the current problems in the issue here: ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux#10431

TL;DR: It's not broken for NFSv4, at least not entirely.

Thank you very much for your time and effort.
