I have the same problem but it doesn't seem to affect all games. A few start even with SteamVR already running.
An older SteamVR version doesnt fix the problem, I think it is steam related.

Hello @Matombo, there's no value in splitting the discussion between multiple issue trackers. Let's continue at https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/6896.
no problem, makes sense
Describe the bug
If SteamVR is running several games run through proton dodn't start with the error message in the steam console output:
Starting the games without steamvr running starts steamvr and the game as expected.
Tested SteamVR versions: Beta 1.10.3, 1.9.16
Affected games: The Gallery - Episode 1, The Gallery - Episode 2, Dance Collider
NOT affected games: SUPERHOT VR
Last time i used steam vr the day before yesterday the issue wasn't there, but since then i both updated my system (manjaro linux roling release distro) and steam vr beta 1.10.3 was installed.
