Steam not starting on ubuntu budgie 21.04

in flag

I've installed steam but it's refusing to launch. It shows an update screen and then nothing. I've noticed a couple errors while starting with a terminal but I have no idea what they mean or how to fix them. Here's the log:

Fixed the problem by updating my nvidia drivers and rebooting.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
