[SOLVED]steam doesn't open

Hello
I am new to archlinux and I know I have to read the wiki first but I couldn't fix my problem
when I type steam in konsole it shows this error:

steam.sh[7791]: Running Steam on arch rolling 64-bit
steam.sh[7791]: STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
setup.sh[7864]: Steam runtime environment up-to-date!
steam.sh[7791]: Can't find 'steam-runtime-check-requirements', continuing anyway
[2022-01-20 12:08:20] Startup - updater built Nov 22 2021 22:06:59
ILocalize::AddFile() failed to load file "public/steambootstrapper_english.txt".
Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(0)
SteamUpdateUI: An X Error occurred
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)

It stucks at this point and I press Ctrl+C to cancel.
do you know how to fix this?

Re: [SOLVED]steam doesn't open

Make sure that en_US is one of the generated locales regardless of whether you make active use of it, see the steam installation caveats

In case something else is broken, post about your locale setup

localectl
locale
locale -a

post these in code tags

Re: [SOLVED]steam doesn't open

thank you for code tags i edited my post.

localectl:

   System Locale: LANG=C
       VC Keymap: n/a
      X11 Layout: n/a

locale:

LANG=C
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_PAPER="C"
LC_NAME="C"
LC_ADDRESS="C"
LC_TELEPHONE="C"
LC_MEASUREMENT="C"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="C"
LC_ALL=

locale -a:

C
POSIX
en_US.utf8
fa_IR
fa_IR.utf8

is this correct?

Re: [SOLVED]steam doesn't open

locale -a is correct your locale in general isn't.

Re: [SOLVED]steam doesn't open

I ran

localectl set-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8

and now the error is shorter

steam.sh[1853]: Running Steam on arch rolling 64-bit
steam.sh[1853]: STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
setup.sh[1925]: Steam runtime environment up-to-date!
steam.sh[1853]: Can't find 'steam-runtime-check-requirements', continuing anyway

it exits from command and nothing happens

Re: [SOLVED]steam doesn't open

Nothing of that is an error. What's your general environment Wayland or Xorg? Xwayland installed if the former?

Re: [SOLVED]steam doesn't open

I use Xorg because my gpu is Nvidia.
My driver version is 390.xx(aur)
I didn't install Wayland.
I ran

pacman - Q

And i couldn't find Xwayland package
I found these packages

wayland 1.20.0-1
wayland-protocols 1.24-1
wayland-utils 1.0.0-2

Re: [SOLVED]steam doesn't open

pacman -Qs nvidia

Re: [SOLVED]steam doesn't open

seth was on the correct limb and I'd probably have started to suspect that as well, your lib32-nvidia-utils is the wrong version, you need to install the matching 390xx set (... also nvidia-390xx-settings but that is generally not as relevant)

Re: [SOLVED]steam doesn't open

There's nothing to downgrade you just need to install lib32-nvidia-390xx-utils the same way you installed all of the other 390xx packages.

How did you install those in the first place, which instructions did you follow to install these/ Arch?
