I've been using the steam flatpak for a while now and have been very happy but recently when I try to join a steam remote play it loads and then instantly closes afterwards. Any idea on how I can fix this? I don't see any error messages when this happens when running via terminal. It used to work the only thing that changed recently is a new free desktop runtime was added 23.03.

Steam is one of those programs that really runs better without Flatpak.

I mean I would agree except I play games like tf2 and Gmod which have had various issues with working via the native steam package.
