As of Steam's [February 27th update](https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/593110/view/4161959294800836361) there was a fairly major change to how Steam starts its embedded Chromium instance.

With this most recent change it now runs inside of the Steam Linux Runtime environment. In turn Steam has disabled the sandbox feature of the
Chromium instance because it is incompatible. FEX was already disabling this sandbox and forcibly passing in the argument to disable it.

Chromium really didn't like the argument being passed in twice and it was causing it to crash early. We have now removed our application profile and
let Steam configure the arguments as required.

As a side effect of Steam updating their version of Chromium, some users have noted that they are experiencing problems with GPU acceleration on
Raspberry Pi systems. This is seemingly a video driver problem and unrelated to this crash that was fixed. It is currently unknown if we can fix this

This last month has had an exciting milestone for 32-bit thunking! We have landed support for thunking Wayland on 32-bit. Which means with our
previously implemented Vulkan thunking, we can now run some games using Wayland plus Vulkan and Zink thrown in to the mix! In particular we have been
able to test that Super Meat Boy works in this configuration! We still have more work to do before X11 and GLX works with 32-bit thunking so stay
tuned to the future!
