What else can I provide?

Mmrturcot 2022-12-29 github

I guess mesa doesnt function properly using LLVM thats been compiled with clang / libc++??

After I recompiled LLVM & mesa with libstdc++. Steam now launches

Mmrturcot 2022-12-29 github

Im not sure if this is LLVM bug or mesa? Does anyone know so I can submit a proper bug report?

No idea how to fix it

Dduarm 2023-02-01 github

Same problem, pipewire/pulseaudio related, I'm using pipewire and reopening pipewire or closing it fixes the problem, sometimes I boot and everythings working, sometimes it doesnt.

Iiambeingtracked 2023-02-03 github

Forgot to mention, I got it working, the thing that was interrupting is Minecraft. For some reason Steam can't launch if Minecraft is also open.

Nothing extracted yet.
