I updated my Arch install a few hours ago and I cant launch Team fortress 2 since then.
Things I've tried:

  • Verify game data
  • Reboot
  • Reinstall Steam
  • Deleting Steam folder

Things I haven't tried yet:

  • Reinstall Arch

Any other game seems to work without any problems

Try to use the flatpak version of Steam to see if its some library that has been updated what's causing TF2 to not launch.

It happened to me with CSGO and haven't found a fix for it yet so I have two versions of Steam now.

This is one thing I really like about Flatpak, never having to worry about missing or broken dependencies. Totally worth the bigger install size imo.

One thing to note if you go this route OP: If you use Steam Input, you’ll also need to install the steam-devices package (game-devices-udev on Arch), or setup udev rules manually. Flatpak still doesn’t let apps do this automatically as far as I’m aware, but it’s smooth sailing aside from that.

Please read logs in post. There is no mention of library problem.
