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
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)
Added link to Github issue opened on Steam flatpak.
