Hello @CherryMan, can you check if any 32 bit opengl application works?

What video driver are you using and is this a new install of steam?

Ccherryman 2017-10-25 github

Driver is nvidia-384.90, and no this isn't a new install of steam, it always worked before.

I don't know of any 32-bit OpenGL software I could try running, I'll take any suggestions.

You should be able to use glxinfo or glxgears, which should be in the i686 variant of mesa-demos.

Also, can you check if nvidia-libs-32bit matches the rest of the nvidia packages? nVidia's userspace version must match the running kernel module's version.

Ran glxgears, it indeed does give the same error as Steam. The package version for nvidia-libs-32bit is the same as the rest.

So, that is telling you that 32 bit opengl on your system is broken and needs to be fixed.
