Vulkan game does not work inside of gamescope

I'm trying to play Transport Fever 2 (native, without proton) inside of gamescope with vulkan. The OpenGL version works with gamescope, and both the OpenGL and Vulkan versions work without gamescope.

However, when launching Transport Fever 2 with vulkan enabled with these command line options
gamescope -f -W 1920 -H 1080 --mangoapp -- %command%
gamescope -f -W 1920 -H 1080 --mangoapp -- %command%
set in steam, the game fails to launch and displays the attached pop up error.
Steam/gamescope give the following output in the terminal:
[Gamescope WSI] Application info:

Any ideas on how to fix this?
