Hello @Chiffario, pressure-vessel-wrap[153421]: E: Could not create copy "./lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1" from "/home/chiffa/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/steam-runtime-sniper/sniper_platform_0.20240618.92328/files/./lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1" into "/home/chiffa/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/steam-runtime-sniper/var/tmp-9UWUW2/usr": fstatat(./lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1): No such file or directory is the line to focus on in your terminal spew.

I would check if that libgcc_s.so.1 is healthy, then move/remove /home/chiffa/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/steam-runtime-sniper so that the folder is regenerated on the next Steam start and see if that changes anything.

Not sure how to check the health of libgcc_s.so.1, but doing rm -rf .local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/steam-runtime-sniper into running steam still causes a segfault

log:
https://gist.github.com/Chiffario/89e3e6c9166671112cb2d4be5bb9d3ae

upon removing just .local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/steam-runtime/sniper and running steam with gdb, the segfault still remains and still points to libaudio.so

doing that and pacman -Rs steam followed up with a reinstall doesn't affect things either

Update: Flatpak doesn't work either
launch log: https://gist.github.com/Chiffario/220f4a2f403fb214c4411a2997861194
logs from .var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam/logs:
flatpak-logs.tar.gz

I believe the issue can be on my side with this but I'm not sure how to proceed

Deleting .steam and trying to forcefully downgrade Steam via steam -forcesteamupdate -forcepackagedownload -overridepackageurl https://web.archive.org/web/20240210115543if_/http://media.steampowered.com/client -exitsteam and running steam normally afterwards removed the libgcc error message, but the segfault remains and the client doesn't launch

Update: upon further investigation, it seems to be a duplicate of #9289, so pls close the issue if that's necessary
