Description Martin Jackson 2026-04-09 17:20:10 UTC

Steam runtime on 1.17.4 fails to run, with an error complaining about flatpak version.

Steam runtime under 1.17.3 starts as expected.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade to flatpak 1.17.4
2. Install steam flatpak from from flathub.org
3. Experience sadness when it fails
Actual Results:
zenity error message demanding flatpak version >= 1.12.0

Expected Results:
Steam runtime starts

Comment 1 Martin Jackson 2026-04-09 17:24:32 UTC

The exact error message:

steam.sh[2]: Error: The unofficial Steam Flatpak app requires Flatpak 1.12.0 or later.
Using the latest stable release of Flatpak is recommended.

The check itself is happening in a binary in the flatpak, so I can't see the logic it's using
(the file is .var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/bin/steam-runtime-check-requirements)
