I updated my Arch install a few hours ago and I cant launch Team fortress 2 since then.
Things I've tried:

  • Verify game data
  • Reboot
  • Reinstall Steam
  • Deleting Steam folder

Things I haven't tried yet:

  • Reinstall Arch

Any other game seems to work without any problems

src/tcmalloc.cc:278] Attempt to free invalid pointer 0x9f3dad0

Bug in Valve code? Not sure, I'll test on my system.

Mine just works. We can compare packages in our systems.

EDIT: I found this post, it seems problem lies in tcmalloc. If you have tcmalloc in your system, then you can try to disable one shipped with TF2.
