Did you also delete the steam user data when reinstalling it?

On one page I found a set of rm commands for resetting Steam issues and adapted it to the Flatpak version.

<span style="color:#323232;">rm -r ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam/                    
</span><span style="color:#323232;">rm -r ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.steam/
</span><span style="color:#323232;">rm ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.steampath
</span><span style="color:#323232;">rm ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.steampid
</span><span style="color:#323232;">rm -r ~/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.cache/nvidia/GLCache/
</span>

flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam --reset

Resetting it like this seems to work a bit. The Steam interface started up one time and after logging in and restarting it, it now does the same thing as before.

Seems like on some systems, removing the package xdg-desktop-portal-gnome also fixed it.

It is not installed.

<span style="color:#323232;">$ pacman -Ss xdg-desktop | grep installed
</span><span style="color:#323232;">extra/xdg-desktop-portal 1.16.0-3 [installed]
</span><span style="color:#323232;">extra/xdg-desktop-portal-gtk 1.14.1-1 [installed]
</span>

I can’t remove those because botha are directly and/or indirectlz dependencies for Flatpak.
