TF2 Crash on loading any map (Fresh Bazzite/PC; doesn't happen on Fedora/PC or Bazzite/Deck-OLED)

Hey, just installed bazzite to try it on my PC after some experience with it on my Deck-OLED. Installed Team Fortress 2 first thing to test and it crashes to desktop whenever the game would normally load into a map. This doesn't happen on my regular PC/Fedora:39 (gnome) or my Deck-OLED/Bazzite:latest (gaming mode). Anybody else experiencing this or have any idea what might be happening?

I used to get an issue with identical behavior on Fedora, but back then the logs said something about LD PRELOAD and the workaround was to symlink a specific library inside the game folder. That issue was resolved with TF2's recent 64-bit update, and the crash logs I see now mention a bus error at ./tf.sh:83 instead of anything LD PRELOAD.

This issue persists whether I run using steam's Sniper Linux runtime or Proton.

Solution
i also can't access any network services when I host them on the old installation. I think the system must be mangled somehow, despite supposedly being an atomic image that should prevent this class of issues. I'm gonna just wipe the drive and reinstall fresh again.
