Seg Fault when launching steam for the first time

Hi guys

So I never have an issue installing Steam on any other PC besides this one Desktop.

This is a fresh install of Arch and I will walk through my steps.

1. Install Steam
2. Install steam-native-runtime
3. Launch steam

Any help is appreciated, I've looked at the logs and they don't seem to tell 'Me' a lot.

Also tried looking into the drivers that fail to load, and no luck.

I've narrowed it down. When I remove all Nvidia drivers steam works, but then my system will lock up. I install Nvidia steam does not work but my system is stable...

Have you installed lib32-nvidia-utils?

Also assuming you followed the instructions in the wiki?
