When i launch steam(flatpak version) from the desktop, the app keeps trying to launch shows a black window for a few seconds and then crashes and the process keeps repeating. The steam icon is present on the system tray so it is running in the background.

When i run it with flatpak run com.valvesotware.Steam steam starts and runs as normal but the logs show this error

Steam Runtime Launch Service: starting steam-runtime-launcher-service Steam Runtime Launch Service: steam-runtime-launcher-service is running pid 239 steam-runtime-launcher-service[239]: E: Unable to acquire bus name "com.steampowered.PressureVessel.LaunchAlongsideSteam" Steam Runtime Launch Service: steam-runtime-launcher-service pid 239 exited Steam Runtime Launch Service: starting steam-runtime-launcher-service Steam Runtime Launch Service: steam-runtime-launcher-service is running pid 372 steam-runtime-launcher-service[372]: E: Unable to acquire bus name "com.steampowered.PressureVessel.LaunchAlongsideSteam" Steam Runtime Launch Service: steam-runtime-launcher-service pid 372 exited Steam Runtime Launch Service: starting steam-runtime-launcher-service Steam Runtime Launch Service: steam-runtime-launcher-service is running pid 377 steam-runtime-launcher-service[377]: E: Unable to acquire bus name "com.steampowered.PressureVessel.LaunchAlongsideSteam" Steam Runtime Launch Service: steam-runtime-launcher-service pid 377 exited Steam Runtime Launch Service: steam-runtime-launcher-service keeps crashing on startup, disabling

Is there anyway I can fix this so that steam launches correctly when it is launched from the desktop. I am on fedora kinoite with 5600h+5500m laptop

Edit : is this somehow related to the dbus access that it has¿?

    Thanks for the report. This issue was supposed to have been fixed in the Flatpak package, but you just brought to my attention that part of the fix was accidentally reverted. I’m sending a new PR right now to try to fix the issue again.
