Description: Ever since yesterday, I have been unable to launch steam due to a segfault on line 700 of the steam.py script. I do not know if an update caused this, or if there is a misssing dependency, but I cannot get steam to work. I have uninstalled steam (removing all the files in the home folder as well) and have ran steam --reset, but none of these solutions work.

I am running arch x86_64 with catalyst-dkms installed. Everything worked great until randomly yesterday...

Steps to reproduce: launch steam


[britt@BrittArchPC ~]$ steam
