I'm using an Intel HD Graphics card.

For the last few days, for an unknown reason, some Steam games won't start up, including Half-Life and Garry's Mod.

Here's the shell output with Half-Life:

Game update: AppID 70 "Half-Life", ProcID 28160, IP 0.0.0.0:0

I've tried removing all the Steam Runtime libraries, but nothing changed.

You need the 32 bit libGL drivers (libgl1-mesaa-dri:i386).

You can issue this command via terminal,

sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri:i386

If you already have it, try reinstalling,

sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-dri:i386

Restart your computer and try again.

If that doesn't work, check out this: Error loading libGL.so.1
