Sunshine not starting in game mode

I'm having an issue with starting Sunshine in game mode. I have used
ujust setup-sunshine
ujust setup-sunshine
and Enabled the autostart. I can see this in the logs:

I can start it manually on game mode if I restart it
systemctl --user restart app-Sunshine@autostart.service
systemctl --user restart app-Sunshine@autostart.service


Desktop mode works fine and once I'm in desktop Sunshine starts automatically and I can connect to it.
