I'm having an issue with steam whenever I launch the program it tries to load but abruptly crashes a few seconds after I launch it. I just ran it via the terminal and this is what I got 

Running Steam on ubuntu 16.04 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(0)
libGL error: unable to load driver: radeonsi_dri.so
libGL error: driver pointer missing
libGL error: failed to load driver: radeonsi
libGL error: unable to load driver: swrast_dri.so
libGL error: failed to load driver: swrast

Now from what I'm seeing, I'm guessing that there is an issue with the open source amd driver and steam in the sense that they don't like each other for whatever reason and sense fglrx is no longer available the open source driver is my only option.

Can anyone confirm that this is, in fact, an issue with the driver, and if it is is there a work around?

When I created this thread I saw similar questions but after spending the last four and half hours digging through the forums I found this Steam won't start on Ubuntu 16.04 and I was able to fix my issue by doing the following 

enter cd $HOME/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/i386/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu
mv libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6.bak
cd $HOME/.steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
mv libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so.6.bak

Once I did this it worked fine, the issue was as I thought an issue with the open source driver it seems valve needs to fix this issue by tweaking a few things on their end but for the time being this should help anyone with this issue, I'll check this as answer tomorrow!
