Hi all, having difficulties getting HW acceleration to work with Steam games here and wondering if anyone can help out. Last time I had it working on EndeavourOS, also using Flatpak Steam, and Unpacking ran well with HW accel, monitored via intel_gpu_top. Recently installed Flatpak Steam again and now no matter what I do it just won’t work. Also both the app and its games run under Xwayland now - the app aside, I believe games used to run under wayland, or was it a dream?
HW accel does work with f.ex Chromium, Firefox, MPV, and Webcord, I just can’t get it to work for games.
Anyway here are my installed runtimes:

Any ideas on how to go from here, or point me to an up-to-date Flatpak Steam guide? Thanks a bunch!
