Hello @jcfrosty, the dbus_connection messages are typically non-fatal and is being tracked at #5146. Are you hitting a functional issue in addition to these messages?

Jjcfrosty 2017-09-24 github

I've noticed instability, but I'm going to blame AMDGPU for that until its complete. I'm not using display code or PRO. 4.12 and latest xf86-video-amdgpu seems to cause issues with libcef.so and games tend to crash after few hours of gameplay. I'm also not sure if my issues for steam Big Picture mode are related to AMDGPU, my 3840x1080 49inch monitor, or some other strange incompatibilities.

Those symptoms do not sound related to dbus or glibc. Please copy your system information from steam (Steam -> Help -> System Information) and put it in a gist, then include a link to the gist in this issue report. In particular, if you can find any CrashIDs or minidumps related to the crashes you are seeing, please attach them as well.
