Steam Segmentation Fault on startup

When I try to run steam, it doesn’t open up. When I ran it in the console I got this:

steam.sh[7395]: Running Steam on endeavouros rolling 64-bit
steam.sh[7395]: STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically

It also creates a .dmp file, but I don’t know how to open it. What other info do I need to provide to help figure out what the problem is and how I can get Steam to run again?

I am dealing with the same error, I tried to reinstall steam and that did not fix it.

sudo downgrade glibc
sudo downgrade lib32-glibc
