I'm also experiencing this exact issue on Arch Linux.
I'm running the 381.09 beta with a i7-4770 and a GTX 1070.
I'm using KDE Plasma 5.9.4 w/ 4.10.8 kernel version.
I'm running Steam using the steam-runtime executable.
This was fixed at some point between my first report and now. Closing.
Nothing extracted yet.

This is with Destinations, output from the other two applications is similar. Desktop Vulkan applications such as Mad Max or Serious Sam Fusion work without issue.
