Several programs fail because of gdkpixbuf error

I was already having this error, reinstalled the system and it still happens. Basically a bunch of programs crash when trying to load some image with gdkpixbuf. Eg.
gpu-viewer:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "GPUViewer.py", line 71, in <module>
    main()  # Program starts here
  File "GPUViewer.py", line 21, in main
    gtk = MyGtk("GPU-Viewer v1.17")
  File "/usr/share/gpu-viewer/Files/Common.py", line 14, in __init__
    self.set_icon_from_file(Const.APP_LOGO_PNG)
gi.repository.GLib.Error: gdk-pixbuf-error-quark: Couldn’t recognize the image file format for file “../Images/GPU_Viewer.png” (3)

firefox (when pulling a tab from a window):

(crashreporter:10940): Gtk-WARNING **: 14:55:39.169: Could not load a pixbuf from /org/gtk/libgtk/theme/Adwaita/assets/check-symbolic.svg.
This may indicate that pixbuf loaders or the mime database could not be found.

I already did several things after searching on google, like updating my mime database or updating /usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache with the output of gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders.
