Steam Update breaks LSI on Arch Linux. about linux-steam-integration HOT 11 CLOSED

I don't know what the relevance is, but I've just noticed that turning Off the Use the Intercept library setting in the "Linux Steam Integration" settings app allows the Steam client to launch correctly.
Does this help anyone narrow down what the issue is?

Steam cherry-picked some SDL updates from unreleased 2.0.9. Arch is shipping 2.0.8 which is current stable. Turning on the intercept library loads Arch's SDL instead of the one Steam ships. Issue should be resolved when SDL 2.0.9 is officially released.

2.0.9 is released! Everything works again

@thoughton Thanks it helped me :)

I've hit the same problem on Ubuntu 16.04 after Steam updated when I tried to load it today.
I get the exact same error about SDL_GameControllerMappingForDeviceIndex.

I had the very same problem on openSuse Leap 15.0 running lsi-steam. With the previous update was working correctly.
The issue shows up only by using LSI steam, if I run STEAM_RUNTIME=0 steam, the client launch and works

When is it going to be released?

Everything works again too on Fedora.

@thoughton worked!
Is this Use the Intercept library important?

seems like this bug came back again after last night's update.. changing settings like pointed out here didn't seem to bring back the UI yet
