I also have all latest drivers installed AND lib32 libraries including nvidia ones. Really have no idea at this point what could gone wrong, because recently steam was working OK

This problem occurred because of corrupted or missing libxkb or libxkb settings located in /usr/share, not a steam issue, so can be closed

@mrAndersen I'm having the exact same issue. If you don't mind, would you please elaborate on how you fixed it? I know it was a while ago, but I'm hoping you remember how you solved it and would be willing to help.

@benny7438 in my case the problem was that steam wasn't able to use libxkb because on my system it was corrupted, after i reinstalled that it with configs, it started to work fine

[Sorual]

@mrAndersen I think mine was a similar issue. I ended up able to fix it by reinstalling every single package on my system! I used the following BASH:
for pkg in $(pacman -Q | cut -d' ' -f1); do pacman -S --noconfirm $pkg done
