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 ?

Does it work in non-flatpak steam?

I did not try that, but I did try battle.net tjrough bottles and I get a similar issue. Does not launch , no errors.
