Description
**Game information**
SteamVR is Valve's VR runtime.
**Distribution name and version where applicable**
Fedora 35 Workstation
**Flatpak info**
```
$ flatpak --version
Flatpak 1.12.7

default
host
```
**Problem description**
SteamVR has some utilities for developers, from which `vrpathreg` does not work.
More info can be found [here](https://github.com/ValveSoftware/openvr/wiki/Local-Driver-Registration), altho on Linux its started by `vrpathreg.sh` from `/steamapps/common/SteamVR/bin` (SteamVR can not be installed separately from Steam)
And here is the actual problem:
```
$ ./vrpathreg.sh
Unable to read path registry
$ echo $?
255
```
Also if the Steam client's root directory is not symbolically linked to `~/.steam/root` it refuses to run at all. Most of open source SteamVR drivers rely on `~/.steam/root` for setup, pretty important to have imo.
Other utilities might be broken too, i just didn't get around to testing the others yet.
**Does this issue reproduce with native Steam**
No
