Same issue here on my Steam Deck LCD 512. Been happening since the latest Steam update.

Heres the result of rpm-ostree status on my system

edit: fixed it by turning off background recording

[davetansley]

I get the same thing as well, also "cured" by turning off game recording.

It does seem to be recording something, as there are files created in the gamerecording directory (specified in desktop Steam settings), but they don't show up as clips or recordings on the game's Steam page in GameMode.

I have the same exact problem. Also, creating clips with the Steam Button + Right D-Pad triggers a sound but doesn't record any clip at all. This used to work properly before, even using the Steam Beta. Only way to stop the crashing is disabling Background recording altogether.

Observed the same issue on Bazzite installed on my GPD Win 4 2023 while the recording feature on stock SteamOS on my Steam Deck works fine. Both running stable Steam clients.

grepped gamescope packages on both systems for reference:

SteamOS

sudo pacman -Qs | grep gamescope
local/gamescope 3.15.14-1
local/lib32-gamescope 3.14.11-1

Bazzite

rpm -qa | grep gamescope

Not sure if we need to upgrade gamescope to 3.15-14 on Bazzite.
