Hey @romeozi,
Welcome to Spotify Community! : )
As this issue is kinda tricky to troubleshoot there are few possibilities:
In case 2, you can delete the cache and see if it works ( please note that the offline data will be removed as well )
rm -r ~/.cache/spotify rm -r ~/.config/spotify
In case one, there is not much you can do, but try to start Spotify without graphic acceleration ( I am not sure if the terminal option works on 0.9.17 )
And if nothing else works, here is my favorite option. Install latest non-stable Spotify package 🙂

Great!!
Installing the latest-non-stable did the trick...
But there is a really useful thing missing apparenty.
There is no system tray icon on the top bar...and I lost the keyboad shortcuts to start/stop/mute the player.
Any idea about that?
Many Many Many thanks!!!
In my case it was due to some weird conflict with my GPU. Try disabling GPU to rule out a GPU issue:
spotify %U --disable-gpu
