**Problem description**
Steam games running via Proton do not launch at all when Flatpak steam is running in Wayland session. The play button state changes to STOP and then the game process seems to die before drawing any UI.
[Error log](https://gist.github.com/ishchow/c838325227d0fce76c4b42c90e20378f)
Seems there is an earlier issue filed with GNOME Wayland two years ago: #578. But error messages from that issue seem to be different and that issue was fixed by sdk update. Running `flatpak update` did not fix this issue for me.
**Does this issue reproduce with native Steam**
Does not reproduce with native steam (either with X11 or Wayland). Does not reproduce with proton games in Flatpak Steam + X11. Does not reproduce with native games in Flatpak Steam + Wayland (ex. Celeste).
