I have the same problem . After upgrading to the new drivers steam games won't start.

You don't have the same problem (low FPS vs not starting == not the same problem), I took the liberty of splitting this off into it's own thread - post terminal output and commands you are using to start a game.

Split off of: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=229733

Yeah so an incorrect libgl is loaded, kernel and packages look fine at first glance, what does your xorg log look like? And maybe

printenv
loginctl show-session
lspci -k

Why do you have the nouveau driver installed, what desktop environment do you use, notably on what display server and if it's not wayland, please provide your xorg log.

Edit: shit.
