@cjbottaro Try adding this to the launch options

STEAM_COMPAT_CLIENT_INSTALL_PATH="/home/<user>/.steam/steam

Just change the location if its not the correct steam install path.

Also would suggest you to stick to one build, either both of them (steam and bsmanager) are native or flatpak, if the above fix isn't enough.

That worked, thank you!

The problem is that I'm on Bazzite (based on Fedora Silverblue). I tried installing the rpm package via rpm-ostree, but that error'ed with something about GTK 2/3 running at the same time as GTK 4. So then I tried installing the RPM in a Fedora based distrobox, but that didn't work either.

I think Bazzite is somewhat unique in that it's an atomic distro, so the preferred way to install things is via Flatpak, but since it's a gaming focused distro, Steam is installed natively.

I am also seeing the same issue with the same set up.

@cjbottaro, were you able to find a fix?

I'm also getting this issue. Also on Bazzite and using Flatpak for BSManager. The laucnh option from silentrald did nothing.

The steam build of the game launch (and play) fine from Steam. But if I import it in BSManager it crash on launch. A detail I noticed: on Steam the game launch a small window on desktop. But when launching with BSManager the game is fullscreen. I guess there's some more launch option missing?
