Kitty/Alacritty wont start after update.

After updating the system, including forcefully updating lib32-vulkan-intel with pacman -U and reinstalling+repopulating keyrings, Neither kitty nor Alacritty will start.
After starting DWM with startx, all apps work normally, except for these two.
Code: [Select]
>alacritty

There seems to be an issue with the latest mesa version.

Run
Code: [Select]
sudo pacman -U https://archive.artixlinux.org/repos/week/world/os/x86_64/mesa-1%3A24.1.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
and reboot.

Issue has been fixed. Updating should work without problems again once the mirrors have synced.
