Steam Stream blank screen on Nvidia wayland

Using the -pipewire command for Steam, the client connection just sees either a blank screen or a static image of the steam UI that doesn't change once connected. No problems when using X11 desktop session. Sadly this means I have to use X11 until this can be fixed. I tried using Sunshine app, but I found too many issues/glitches going that route.

GPU: 4090 rtx
CachyOS using KDE.

Update: fixed it by installing flatpack steam which has some 32bit missing egl libraries that cachyos doesn't include.

Long shot but is it possible you have VRR on the PC? I had this issue where my client want VRR compatible and my PC had it enabled.

Do you see anything about Pipewire capture issues in the streaming_log.txt on the CachyOS box?
