Yeh have tried a fresh install without any gaming platforms. Logs in perfectly okay with latest nvidia drivers, as soon as i install steam and selecr the lib32 nvidia utils and then restart, blacm screen
This is the one you are installing?
https://archlinux.org/packages/?name=lib32-nvidia-utils
Edit: This is updated as of today.
Yeh thats the one it seems to want installed with steam, ill run a reinstall of the os again, but will need to go to bed as its frustrating me, fourth times the charm 
Could be that they will update the 32-bit package… fingers crossed.
Install it before installing steam.
Okay so ive done a full reinstall of the OS

I’ve got in fine, im on the 555.58 drivers by the looks of it
Im going to try another couple reboots and see if it bottoms out at all
Edit:
1st reboot im in
2nd reboot im in again okay
Check pacman -Qi lib32-nivida-utils
If not installed then install it before installing Steam.
Okay will do now
Maybe [multilib] is not enabled?

Edit /etc/pacman.conf and enable [multilib].
# If you want to run 32 bit applications on your x86_64 system,
# enable the multilib repositories as required here.
#[multilib-testing]
#Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
[multilib]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
Do i need to enable testing instead? The multilib is already uncommented

there is nothing to do
ignore the sudo, didnt mean to put that in but yeah
No, that would need enabling other testing repos as well. I think you don’t want to do that.
Now you can just install the package normally with pacman.
Just doing a
sudo pacman -S lib32-nvidia-utils
?
yes
Okay done that, ive rebooted and its all groovy and im in now. Should i attempt an install of steam using pacman as well or try a different method?
This is what mine shows for steam.
sudo pacman -S steam
