Steam was previously working fine until a recent update, so I do have all the required packages installed and updated. However, I'm getting error and steam is unresponsive: https://ptpb.pw/QDU8

A quick search for a similar problem leads to this: http://www.gearsongallium.com/?p=3234
Does disabling DRI3 help?

Do read the steam troubleshooting wiki if you haven't already. It is also important to note that steam often re-installs and/or overrides Arch's libraries, especially after an update. Therefore, you should remove steams bad libraries. My aliases for this:
[jbs@dmb-gaming-laptop ~]$ alias rmbadsteamlibs
alias rmbadsteamlibs='find ~/.steam/root/ \( -name "libgcc_s.so*" -o -name "libstdc++.so*" -o -name "libxcb.so*" \) -print -delete'
[jbs@dmb-gaming-laptop ~]$ alias rmbadsteamlibslocal
alias rmbadsteamlibslocal='find ~/.local/share/Steam/ \( -name "libgcc_s.so*" -o -name "libstdc++.so*" -o -name "libxcb.so*" \) -print -delete'
[jbs@dmb-gaming-laptop ~]$
Use at your own risk.

I've alread checked the wiki and I know what you are referring to and it has worked in the past. However, this has nothing to do with that apparently as I've already removed those files previously. @JohnBobSmith
I did try disabling DRI3 and some of the dialogue boxes did run in the beginning which informed me that Steam has updated or is currently being updated, but it still froze up and didn't work after that. @x33a
I'm getting this error now:

Removing those files is no longer listed as a workaround on the steam troubleshooting wiki page. Better, more persistent, workarounds are recommended instead. Please tell us which of these you have tried.

I installed steam-native-runtime (https://www.archlinux.org/packages/mult … e-runtime/) and now it works fine.

Sorry for reopen this topic, but I have success in use this method above.
sudo pacman -S steam-native-runtime

Thats probably the exact command, if not the *only* command rg_arc used when installing the native steam runtime :rollseyes:, so I'm not sure why you had to point that out.... But I'm glad it works for you too.

Since everyone is happy, I am going to go ahead and close this thread to prevent it from being reopened again.
