I have a laptop from a friend that he installed Vanilla Arch on.
It works pretty well but now he wanted to try some gaming on it and he couldn't fix it.

I found out that he installed mesa drivers so now when trying to install lib32-nvidia-utils it's a conflict for those files already exist.

I can't remove mesa as that has referernces to other programs.

I wonder if there is a way around this to remove mesa and install lib32-nvidia-utils so those programs still work or do I have to remove all those references by uninstall those programs, remove mesa, install lib32... and add those programs again?

Is that box 32 bit or 64 bit?

A 64 bit program can't use a 32bit lib, and vice versa. Run file on lib32-nvidia-utils to verify it is 32bit.

oh, sorry forgot that big info.
Yeah, it's 64bit computer and for gaming this lib32-nvidia-utils needs to be installed.

Fixed it the 'hard' way :P

To be sure I backed up these files (the files listed as errors in the installation of lib32-nvidia-utils) in /usr/lib32 into a dir I created then I removed them by 'rm'.
I after that installed these packages:
nvidia nvidia-utils lib32-nvidia-utils nvidia-settings vulkan-icd-loader lib32-vulkan-icd-loader. Most of them already was installed but...

I crossed my fingers and rebooted... and it worked, now at least my test game work.
Gonna do some more testing but so far so good

Gonna mark this as SOLVED
