@kisak-valve I'we added more info to the other, it seems like its duplicate but cannot be 100% sure.
Do you want me to continue in that issue or here?

Finally found the issue and solved it!!
Had NoExtract = usr/share/X11/locale/* in pacman.conf, probably taken from a old wiki regarding only installing languages you need. Not sure why it just started but removing that line and reinstalling lib32-libx11 and libx11 fixed it. More info: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/77396

Maybe Steam should have better error messages or something? Or is this a bug in Steam? @kisak-valve

Nothing extracted yet.
