Updated! [BUG] SteamVR Home not working on Beta 2.8.2 and Stable, apparently closed issue 579 resurfacing.

Describe the bug SteamVR tries to go to Home but fails

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'SteamVR'
2. Click on 'Launch'
3. Wait
4. Home fails to launch

Expected behavior Expected Home to launch

System Information (please complete the following information):

• Distribution: Arch
• SteamVR version: 2.5.3
• Steam client version: 1714160074
• Opted into Steam client beta?: Yes
• Graphics driver version: NVIDIA 550.76
• Gist for SteamVR System Information: https://gist.github.com/ThaSwapMeetPimp/576a7d8a8d29b90dc75f98f0e683a803

Additional context Beta 2.5.2 didnt even try to launch SteamVR Home, just never reported it. Saw that the launch script for Home was fixed in the latest Beta, and it definitely tries to run the script now, just fails to actually launch.

Note: Commenters who are also experiencing this issue are encouraged to include the "System Information" section in their replies.

Can play games on 2.5.3 through the dashboard, but the colors are messed up in the dashboard again.

Sorry havent been here for awhile. Edited this instead of starting a new one. Home was working great after the next update from OP, however after updating to beta 2.7.4, Wont go into Home again, switched over to Stable, wont go into Home there now either, but will go into Home with the temp 1.27 branch

Could it be caused by steamtours seg faulting?

ok so I found in vrstartup-linux log: Fossilize INFO: Overriding serialization path: "/home/steam/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/shadercache/250820/fozpipelinesv6/steamapprun_pipeline_cache". ../../third_party/tcmalloc/chromium/src/tcmalloc.cc:337] Attempt to free invalid pointer 0x6350f9b48160 Fossilize INFO: Overriding serialization path: "/home/steam/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/shadercache/250820/fozpipelinesv6/steamapprun_pipeline_cache". ../../third_party/tcmalloc/chromium/src/tcmalloc.cc:337] Attempt to free invalid pointer 0x6350f9b4b5c0

Which is apparenjtly the same as issue #579 with a number 390 after tcmalloc.cc but that one is closed. SteamVR built against a higher llvm or something, I take it I just have to wait for an update that fixes it again? I tried the replacing libtcmalloc_minimal.so.0 with a symlink to /usr/lib64/libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4 I saw in another issues comment but that didnt do the trick.
