[SOLVED] Steam not opening after pacman upgrade

heya

this probably gets posted a million times a day but i'm kinda stumped this time

i've had this issue before and i remember needing to install some drivers to get it working again, but this time it doesn't work, i have everything installed already

here's the error i'm getting

steam.sh[2168]: Running Steam on arch rolling 64-bit
steam.sh[2168]: STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
setup.sh[2240]: Steam runtime environment up-to-date!
steam.sh[2168]: Can't find 'steam-runtime-check-requirements', continuing anyway
[2022-06-30 10:52:46] 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(1654574690)
SteamUpdateUI: An X Error occurred
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)

i've generated locales, installed fonts, got everything set up and working except steam

any and all help is appreciated

Post a xorg log and

glxinfo32 -B #Needs lib32-mesa-demos

And FWIW seeing a Ilocalize error make sure you heed the second bullet point: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Steam#Installation

Re: [SOLVED] Steam not opening after pacman upgrade

here's an xorg log (pastebinned so it doesn't look like a wall of text)

and here's the output of glxinfo32 -B

name of display: :0
X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  152 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  24 (X_GLXCreateNewContext)
  Value in failed request:  0x0
  Serial number of failed request:  110
  Current serial number in output stream:  111

and yeah, i looked at the steam installation guide and made sure to do everything there, even rebooted and still the same error

Re: [SOLVED] Steam not opening after pacman upgrade

At least your 32bit OpenGL is broken make sure lib32-nvidia-utils is installed and the versions make sense, post

pacman -Qs nvidia

in doubt.

Re: [SOLVED] Steam not opening after pacman upgrade

You are in a partial update situation, probably because the archinstall script had/has a bug and enabled multilib-testing as well as multilib instead of just multilib. Disable multilib-testing in your /etc/pacman.conf and run a

pacman -Syuu

make sure lib32-nvidia-utils is downgraded to a matching 515.48.07 variant.
