Hello @danielboston38, the NVIDIA proprietary driver requires that the video driver's running kernel module, 32 bit userspace libraries, and 64 bit userspace libraries are all installed and exactly the same version to work properly.

Looking at https://archlinux.org/packages/?q=nvidia, Arch is currently shipping:
nvidia-dkms | 535.54.03-1
nvidia-utils | 535.54.03-1
lib32-nvidia-utils | 530.41.03-1

This mismatch between the 32 bit and 64 bit userspace libraries is the cause of your issue and is not a Steam client bug. Switch to the matching driver component in Multilib-testing or wait for your distro's package maintainer for the NVIDIA proprietary driver to resolve this version mismatch.

Closing as not a Steam client bug.

Can confirm all good now with lib32-nvidia-utils 535.54.03-1. We were just unlucky.

Nothing extracted yet.
