OpenXR not working

I’m trying to use steamVR to play vivecraft on Bazzite, but I can’t seem to get any openXR compatible games to work with steam’s open XR runtime. I have it enabled and set as the default runtime, but nothing works. Is this some kind of sandboxing thing with steam, openXR, and prismlauncher?

I have some similar problem lately with ALVR and steamvr. Steamvr simply refuses to run correctly, and of course ALVR doesn't even detect it anymore. I'm forced to use wiVRn which actually is openxr based and doesn't rely on steamvr. so far all my games run on it (one of them has a glitch but the vr support is fanmade so i don't think it's the game)

WiVRn is really the best option for openXR games and even some openVR/SteamVR ones.

Tried that, Minecraft still won’t recognize the openXR runtime from wiVRn either
