Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

After latest update to kernel 5.17 and mesa 21.3.8:

when trying to launch a game via Stream (remote play) from a different client
Steam switches to BPM (as expected) on host-machine (this machine)
Steam tries launching a game (eg. Control - App ID: 870780 which worked fine just the other day)
Steam crashes to desktop and restarts automatically on host-machine

For more detail see: https://gist.github.com/TheTee82/bd2a9c19e2dd392c736e7b7ffba86c1f
( I believe https://gist.github.com/TheTee82/bd2a9c19e2dd392c736e7b7ffba86c1f#file-gistfile1-txt-L285-L306 might be the most relevant part here )

CrashID=bp-14db574c-2b82-448a-9791-176122220417

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Update Manjaro to latest mesa and kernel (Host)
launch steam on host and client
2a. you can also try launching Steam Link (provided via flatpak - com.valvesoftware.SteamLink - 1.1.89.225 - stable) which results in the issue when trying to "Start Streaming" / connecting to host
try to "Stream" game from host to client
3a. this happens with various different games - so I can't rule out a Proton issue but when running on host machine directly is working fine

This seems to be an issue with the lib32-mesa version pushed by the package manager of my distribution.
Apparently after updating, lib32-mesa: 22.0.0-1 was installed when doing an automatic update using pacman - however the lib32 package was incompatible with the actual non lib32 version of mesa ( 21.3.8 ) which resulted in streaming not working.

Soon after, I got a notification that the locally installed version is newer than the (reverted) one in the distros repository ( lib32-mesa: local (22.0.0-1) is newer than multilib (21.3.8-2) )

Issue Solved: by reinstalling/downgrading lib32-mesa provided by the distro: sudo pacman -Syyuu
