1 week ago Can you post the output of flatpak list and flatpak info com.valvesoftware.Steam? I suspect that it's a version mismatch.

Main Menu page.codeberg.libre_menu_editor.LibreMenuEditor 1.7.2 stable systemAh yes, as expected. Your steam is using version 24.08, but mangohud and vkcapture are only available for 21.08, 22.08, and 23.08. Try installing org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.MangoHud//24.08 and org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.OBSVkCapture//24.08 to get the compatible versions.

1 week ago @MithicSpirit thanks but just a question.
I tried flatpak update to see if it fixes the issue before posting this issue. I never showed these updated versions of mangohud and obsvkcapture and says Nothing to do. When I normally typed flatpak install flathub org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.MangoHud it showed me option to install 24.08 version.
Why flatpak didn't install these dependencies or version updates automatically when I did flatpak update ?
Why do I have to manually install them ?
If this is the case with mangohud and obsvkcapture how should I know how many old packages are there and not the latest versions in my flatpak list.
Is there a way to make sure flatpak can install these updated versions of these dependencies automatically cause I specifically installed flatpaks cause to save myself from this dependency hell and reliability.

From my understanding, they're not "dependencies" nor "updates". com.valevesoftware.Steam is the one that updated, with dependency changed to org.freedesktop.Platform//24.08 (from //23.08). org.freedesktop.Platform.VulkanLayer.MangoHud (and obsvkcapture) are mere add-ons to org.freedesktop.Platform, but must be installed separately for each branch (this is just a design choice in flatpak).
If this is the case with mangohud and obsvkcapture how should I know how many old packages are there and not the latest versions in my flatpak list.
You can uninstall unneeded packages with flatpak uninstall --unused. This will also list out pinned runtimes, for which you'll have to manually verify if they're still needed or not. Not sure if there's a way to list reverse dependencies.
Is there a way to make sure flatpak can install these updated versions of these dependencies automatically cause I specifically installed flatpaks cause to save myself from this dependency hell and reliability.
For true dependencies (like org.freedesktop.Platform), flatpak will automatically take care of those for you. For these optional dependencies (the aforementioned add-ons), I don't think that's possible. What I recommend is that whenever you notice a new branch of org.freedesktop.Platform is out, you install the corresponding branch of the add-ons.

Game information
All games have this issue.
Distribution name and version where applicable
Arch linux
Flatpak info
Problem description
Suddenly mangohud and obsvkcapture are not working only for flatpak steam. They are working fine for other launchers like heroic and lutris.
As for logs I dont know what to put but here are the screenshots for proof
As u can see I set variables in both flatseal as well as in the game launch options but obs is not capturing game as well as mangohud not working
Same case but heroic games are working fine with capture and mangohud even if mangohud is not enabled in heroic since its enables in flatseal it is still working and obs is capturing.
Does this issue reproduce with native Steam
I dont know. I dont have native steam.
Edit: Ok I installed native steam and native obs and native steam dont have this issue. Attaching screenshot for reference
I also tried other env formats like
obs-gamecapture mangohud %command%in flatpak like as I did in native screenshot below but still didnt work.flatpak heroic and lutris dont have this issue.
