When I try to open Steam after updating, I get this error:
glx: failed to create dri3 screen
failed to load driver: nouveau
It seems it is trying to use nouveau even though I have nouveau blacklisted? The proprietary nvidia driver is installed. I've been using it fine for years. I'm using a 1080.
On my other computer with Arch the update went fine and Steam still opens with my 4090.
In /etc/modprobe.d I have two files:
nvidia.conf:
options nvidia_drm modeset=1
options nvidia_drm fbdev=1
options nvidia NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=0
options nvidia Nvreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1
and blacklist.conf:
blacklist nouveau
Same as my other computer where Steam works. Any idea what is going wrong? For now I've rolled back my computer with a 1080 to before the update using timeshift.

Same problem here, solved with this : https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam- … sues/11829
Using this doc : https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Downgrading_packages
With this command :
# pacman -U file:///var/cache/pacman/lib32-mesa-1:24.3.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zstAnd maybe adding a "killall steam" before launching steam again.

seems to be an nvid related problem - running lib32-mesa 1.25 since friday without issues on my rx7700

Downgrading lib32-mesa to the last 1.24 version did work as a temp fix. Thanks!
I wonder why it happens with my computer with a 1080, but not the one with the 4090? Both are Nvidia cards.

I've had the same problem today. Installing lib32-nvidia-utils fixed it, see https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam- … sues/11829 for explanation. I didn't touch lib32-mesa though.
