What is going on here??? I don't understand ! How can I fix this??? It won't even open!!! This is a fresh install...

I have tried deleting the appropriate folders and running --reset as well

EDIT: Can confirm that it's also crashing on my test machine which I also built fresh for trying to diagnose problems like this. Anyone have any news on this? Did a component break?

Re: [SOLVED] Steam crashing on Arch????

Yes, that solved it. I've never had to install lib32-libnm before though. Is there a reason as to why this is now the case?

Re: [SOLVED] Steam crashing on Arch????

The old libs from the standard steam runtime getting into conflict with newer libs from the system. You provide system level libs by installing lib32-libnm so those can be used instead of what's bundled directly in the runtime which will then also work properly with the system libraries.
