i have this problem too
Well, me too. GG boys.
EDIT: Ok here is some information...
When I run $HOME/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh the output is as follows:
Running Steam on arch rolling 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
ILocalize::AddFile() failed to load file "public/steambootstrapper_english.txt".

Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(steam)/version(0)

My distribution is the same as the original poster.
Same thing for me, after updating to latest kernel and nvidia proprietary drivers.
Some more info:

This happens regardless of whether STEAM_RUNTIME is set to 0 or 1.
This issue is because Arch package maintainers did not update lib32-nvidia-utils along with the rest of the nvidia packages. This is now fixed in Arch's package repository. The nvidia userspace and kernel module must match, otherwise it will refuse to run any opengl application.
Do another update cycle, make sure lib32-nvidia-utils package matches nvidia-utils and nvidia-dkms and reboot to get your system to start using the new nvidia kernel module.
Apparently lib32-nvidia-utils has been updated in the official repos, but not all of the mirrors are in sync.
Con confirm. After lib32-nvidia-utils got updated it runs again.
Thanks for the follow up. At this point there should be no new users encountering this specific issue. Closing.
Nothing extracted yet.
Your system information
Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:
Today there was an update of the system after which the Steam stopped running.
The client if it hangs trying to update. This problem has already happened to many who have Arch Linux and Antrgos
