Lots of issues with steam - any way to get 'clean' install?

Followed steps in arch wiki to set up steam but found that most games don't work, even ones said to be working perfectly with Proton. They just fail to open, with error messages like
Code: [Select]
pid 634 != 633, skipping destruction (fork without exec?)
. Tried using different versions of Proton as well as keeping the game on non-ntfs drive. I think it has something to do with library issues like the troubleshooting page says, but I don't understand from reading that page how to fix it. I have an AMD GPU (Radeon RX 6700 XT) and AMD CPU (Ryzen 7 3700X). From searching around it doesn't seem that others have this specific problem, steam just works for them, even on arch (I had this same issue when I used arch as well), so thinking maybe it's something I have installed/configured getting in the way. But re-installing with pacman and even removing the .steam config folders doesn't seem to fix it. Is there a way to figure out what's wrong or start fresh without reinstalling the os?

In addition more parts of steam have broken just recently as I've been trying different things, for instance now clicking on the system tray icon does nothing, printing this error message in the log:
Code: [Select]
(steam:27235): LIBDBUSMENU-GLIB-WARNING **: 16:03:33.532: About to Show called on an item wihtout submenus.  We're ignoring it.

Here is what is logged when I try to run Risk of Rain 2 for example:
