Bazzite fails to boot into Gaming Mode and logs me out and updates client on each boot

[n0noob]

Hello,
I have recently installed Bazzite on my laptop. Here are my laptop specs:

Here is output of rpm-ostree status:

I am unable to log into Gaming Mode any more. Earlier it used to directly log me into gaming mode which is not happening any more. Even though I try to double click that icon “Return to Gaming Mode” from desktop it shows a black screen and then gets me back into my KDE session.
Secondly, steam logs me out on every boot and updates itself repeatedly with each boot.
Can someone please help me debug this issue?
I am not sure if this is because of a change that I have made in the system or it started happening by itself with any recent update.

Is this the same issue? Maybe the fix will help.

Steam no longer starts

Hello, I recently have started using Bazzite on my main PC and so far I have had a flawless experience. However, recently I’ve had an issue with steam constantly logging me out. I saw somewhere that apparently running ujust fix-reset-steam would help fix this issue, but it somehow ended up breaking my steam client completely. The login GUI doesn’t even appear in any capacity anymore and it seems like the steam process will run for a few seconds before terminating. Just incase these are neede…

Tried:

Steam no longer starts

From someone in the Discord you can try this: Open terminal and run __GL_CONSTANT_FRAME_RATE_HINT=3 steam -reset Let it reinstall and update Steam, once finished sign in/2FA into Steam. Then exit, launch Steam by clicking the desktop shortcut this time, it’ll ask you to re-log in/2FA. after you’ve logged in a second time, it should work from the shortcut again without asking you to sign in an additional time.

This fix did not work for me. Problem stays the same.
