box86: Steam won't launch on any 64-bit distro

Hello, i’ve tried installing Box86 and Steam on Ubuntu, PopOS and Rasperry Pi OS 64-bit with no luck. When I try to launch Steam I always get this error:

/home/qushy/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh: line 788: /home/qushy/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam: No such file or directory

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Also, just a reminder: the Rpi4 GPU is equivalent, at best, to a weak entry level Dx9 graphic card. Forget everything Dx10+. Also, the Vulkan driver lack important extension, and dxvk will not run on it. Probably nothing commercial can use the Vulkan driver, but there si very little title yet, so I’m not sure.

DXVK works just fine, I switched to Debian Sid and playing Anachronox right now on what appears to be way too many FPS, could be 60 for all I know, I will tell you for sure a little later. Valheim crashes and Terraria never launches. I will test Morrowind from Steam as well and get back to you.

I tried Anachronox quickly on my arm minipc, and I’m pretty sure it doesn’t use dxvk but opengl directly (not a direct3d game).

Box86 needs armhf subsystem on 64bits distro. So on debian family it’s sudo dpk --add-architexture armfh You can have a look here: https://box86.org/2022/03/box86-box64-vs-qemu-vs-fex-vs-rosetta2/ in the Box86/Box64 chapteur, how I configure and installed them on an Ubuntu 64bits OS.
