When I try to launch Steam I can see the updating dialogue window but that disappears within a second and Steam never launches.
This is the output of the terminal when I use steam to launch the client:
steam.sh[75080]: Running Steam on arch rolling 64-bit
steam.sh[75080]: STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically
setup.sh[75154]: Steam runtime environment up-to-date!
