So I just installed the latest version of Steam on Arch Linux and whenever I start it up it has a popup saying “Failure - invalid app configuration”. After I close the popup, I’m able to access Steam normally, but I’d rather not have to do that on every startup.
“If you are trying to run a native game using Proton but get a Steam compatibility tool error immediately after starting the game, you might have to reinstall the runtime.
Navigate to your Steam library.
In the dropdown above your game list check the Tools option to make them visible.
Search for Proton, right click on each installed tool, visit Properties, open the Local files tab and click Verify integrity of tool files for each entry.
Search for Steam Linux Runtime and repeat the same procedure. If none are available, install the latest Steam Linux Runtime - Soldier.”

Anyone having the same issue?
According to the archlinux wiki:
