Steam not opening - "tar: This does not look like a tar archive"

I am new to Linux and I have Ubuntu 17.04 64-bit (Budgie).

I cannot open steam. It is updated to latest version. When I open it it pops up but after some time it disappears. When I try to run it from a terminal I get this output:

tar: This does not look like a tar archive
xz: (stdin): File format not recognized
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
find: ‘/home/ghazi/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime’: No such file or directory

  1. Run the following command in terminal:

    mkdir "/home/$USER/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime"
    
  2. Then launch Steam.
