Have you rebooted since updating?

You may want to reinstall lib32-harfbuzz:

sudo pacman -Syu lib32-harfbuzz

Yes, I have reboot several times and also tried to reinstall lib32-harfbuzz. But nothing helps.

Also after the update, wine can’t start. Maybe it relates. The output of wine -h.

It seems that wine can’t find freetype. However, as you see, freetype has been installed and I’ve also tried to reinstall it.

I also try to start steam-native but encounter the same problem as steam-runtime.

After replace lib32-freetype2-infinality-ultimate with lib32-freetype2, the problem gone.
