I'm now getting this issue.
Fedora 42 Atomic Kinoite running in Flatpak
Tested issue periodically, same error & behavior. Tested today, working but new problem occurs. When Steam launches "Unpacking Steam Linux Runtime container" keeps appearing; annoying! I use another program to launch Steam due to sh -c 'STEAM_FRAME_FORCE_CLOSE=1 steam %U' failing; seems to work now.
Steam version: 1745457196
