Expected to upload Cloud Saves just fine, got a nondescriptive generic error:

After investigating ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam/logs/cloud_log.txt I saw that the Connection was timing out:

After disabling IPv6 in general stuff started to work again, so it seems that there is no robust fallback to a working IPv4-Network if IPv6 times out.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Install Steam via Flatpak (Dunno if related to issue, just to make sure)
  2. Have a network provider with unreliable IPv6 that sometimes works, but sometimes doesn't
  3. Have a network that can resolve DNS-Querys to IPv6, but has no upstream IPv6 connection
  4. Try to upload saves to steam cloud
  5. Look in the ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam/logs/cloud_log.txt to see that connections are timed out
