Description of problem: Every game i try doesnt work anymore. I see only black screen and/or the system freeze. It looks like there was something (critical) changed with OpenGL in the Kernel between 4.7 (final) and 4.7 rc 7 and earlier which causes the crash. Every game with the Kernel before the final 4.7 works. My system uses an AMD graficcard (Sapphire HD7770 OC) with the free driver.

Well, I was going to test it on this ATI system but steam won't even run.

Steam does not like dri3, so either disable it in xorg.conf or start with: LIBGL_DRI3_DISABLE=1 steam
@psyca Is it only with Steam games that you're having issues, or also with packaged games like SuperTuxKart?

@Charles: You can try one of the solutions described on the Arch wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Steam/Troubleshooting#Steam_runtime_issues Steam's runtime is starting to be very old (Ubuntu 12.04 LTS...) and such issues just keep popping up as it conflicts with core system libraries.
Thanks for the link. "Deleting the runtime libraries" solved the issue for me. Steam now starts normally.
Now that steam will run I installed Left 4 Dead 2 I'm a crappy player but I had no issues running the game. nexuiz-glx also runs without issue for me.

I do not know what happend. Yesterday i made the update from Kernel 4.7-rc7-? to 4.7.0, rebooted the system and started a game. Error like written in comment 1. I reboot the computer again with 4.7.0, same error. I reboot and load 4.7-rc7 - works fine. I reboot and load 4.7.0 - error. Write the bugreport. Today i check SuperTuxRacing (like written in comment 3) it works. Try a (Steam) Game again. Works. Reboot and try again. Works. I cant say what happend (there was also no new update in the meantime) but this error/bug doesnt appear anymore.
Status: NEW => RESOLVEDResolution: (none) => WORKSFORME
