Overwatch 2 does not launch through Steam (flatpak) - no errors in logs (lemy.lol)

Hi all,

I downloaded overwatch 2 for the first time through steam (flatpak). When I click play, it looks like its doing something for maybe 5-10 seconds, but then nothing happens and the play button reappears. Seemingly the game does not run.

Some info about my setup:

  • bspwm, so no wayland

  • nvidia 3060 Ti GPU, tried both 535 drivers and 550.

  • kernel 6.1.121. Distro is gentoo but it should not matter

  • other games work. I tried Borderlands 2 as a recent example.

  • I ran steam through terminal to look out for errors, but nothing interesting pops up

  • nvidia drivers are installed through flatpak correctly

The questions: Can I get any more detailed logs ? any suggestions how to fix it ?

If important to verify, I have my logs from running steam in terminal here:

Some of those might look a bit conerning but they seem to show up for games that work also.

a wild guess: try setting LD_PRELOAD="" %command% Im on mobile and cannot look things up properly but that fixed some weird behaviour for me
