Hello @nick22985, from your log:

Error: You are missing the following 32-bit libraries, and Steam may not run:
libc.so.6

Arch's steam package should depend on lib32-gcc-libs, which in turn depends on lib32-glibc. Please verify that these packages are installed.

Failed to load steamui.so - dlerror(): /usr/lib/libvdpau.so.1: file too short
It looks like this file should be coming from libvdpau and it reads like a previous system package update damaged the library. Please inspect /usr/lib/libvdpau.so.1 and reinstall the package if needed. It would also be good idea to run a filesystem check on your root partition.
