Has Steam stopped launching games for anyone else?

Just yesterday Steam stopped launching games for me. I've tried rolling back 24 packages so far with no luck. Has anyone else run into this issue within the past week?

Think it was a systemd update that did it. Looks like it stopped Lutris from launching games as well.

I did have an HDD that just stopped working. That's for system backups. Just commented it out from the fstab, and it seems to be working so far. Going to have to test more later to figure out what happened.

I have trouble on and off launching my OOTP Baseball steam game for a while. I just keep trying logging out , restarting until it finally starts.
Never have been sure how to troubleshoot it.
When it is having an issue I try launching from a cli and it does part of the startup and then just stops.

What is your hardware setup? Mesa v25 has been a bit buggy so far.

You can find it with [extra]/inxi and [extra]/pacman-contrib:

$ inxi -xCGIMmrS

$ checkupdates

$ pacman -Qs 'amd|intel|nvidia|va[^A-Za-z]*api|vd[^A-Za-z]*pau|cuda|rocm|[^a-zA-Z]hip|oneapi|vulkan|opengl|opencl|directx|wayland|xorg|^linux'
