Hello @ReDTerraN, please copy your system information from Steam (Steam -> Help -> System Information) and put it in a gist, then include a link to the gist in this issue report.
@kisak-valve its now been added. Thanks
Checking more into the issue I have found that big picture mode works as expected and does not show the artifacts present, the artifacts only show up in big picture mode when swapping to another application. But all games works as expected with no artifacts.
Despite my best troubleshooting I have not been able to fix this issue, no reinstallation or repair of the flatpak package works. current workaround is to move over to regular runtime and there it works as expected. If you need further assistance I can reinstall the flatpak version.
@ReDTerraN
I think it's a driver issue with the RX 5500 XT and current Mesa driver. I'm on Manjaro KDE too having the same gpu. Since the last manjaro update(including new mesa update) some flatpak apps looks the same for me like your example(for example chromium). Before the update it was fine. Although I don't know when I updated the last time.
here is a post with a similar issue and the same gpu.:
https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues/3749
Maybe that's the place where you should post your issue.
Btw I'm not using the flatpak version of Steam. Everything is still fine with Steam(native) and Steam(runtime)
running the following command:
AMD_DEBUG=nodcc flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam
as suggested here:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/3323
fixed this issue for me
there is some link to make this solution permanent in that thread too
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/amd/-/issues/842#note_314958
getting this with Mesa 22.0.5 (Renoir 4600H) and latest flatpak Steam package. Running the same app with my 1650Ti mobile works fine.
@Mango2000 's fix with AMD_DEBUG flags don't work in this case, including nohyperv and other flags suggested in other discussions of this issue.
Interestingly, I am seeing this across several flatpaks: Spotify and discord-screenaudio (and Element?) so far both do the same thing. Steam works okay though. The AMD_DEBUG fixes the discord app but the other two are still experiencing issues.
Nothing extracted yet.

the steam app is currently unusable so im opting for directly executing my games via executables than going via steam library at the moment.
I use Flatpak 1.12.7, If you guys have any tips let me know.
