Problems with steam

SUPPORT

I'm having a problem since switching to hyprland.lua. Everything seems to work except Steam. It simply stopped launching under Hyprland (it works perfectly in KDE).

Here's the log from when I try to launch it from the terminal. Steam is installed via Flatpak, and it was working perfectly before I switched to the Lua configuration.
