steam games aren't launching

Recently I switched to the multilib package from the flatpak where games were launching fine, because I was running into storage Issues on it, but now every game that I try to start just doesn't launch.
After pressing play I'm prompted with the Synchronizing Steam Cloud window which disappears after about a second and nothing launches. My system is up to date.
I followed the steam Installation from the Arch wiki and I've tried to fix it with the troubleshooting page, but nothing that I tried seemed to do anything. Reinstalling steam also didn't work.
Maybe I am missing something obvious? Here's what shows up in the terminal upon launching csgo:

Re: steam games aren't launching

If the vulkan-swrast package is installed, remove it.
