Waydroid black screen on AMD GPU / KDE

Followed the setup guide exactly, even reset waydroid, rebooted, and retried the guide, nothing.

I executed ujust setup-waydroid, selected the first "Initialize Waydroid" option, then ran /usr/bin/waydroid-launcher as per instructions and black screen. Even tried continuing on with the guide, but still nothing.

When I continue on the guide, when I get to the step of verifying google apps, with "Get Google Device ID to Get Certified", then it just instantly fails with an "ERROR:" but no text afterwards, don't know if that is related but thought I should include it.

Here is the output of the /usr/bin/waydroid-launcher command: https://hastebin.ianhon.com/888d
And then the shell command finishes, but the black window stays open until I close it with the X button or stop it with waydroid session stop.

Already checked for a ujust update, I am on the latest version, specifically:
● ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bazzite:stable
                   Digest: sha256:c5b8a398f1109929da5ab2554f0c96290b09e76f2fe46c11200704edeb0897e1
                  Version: 42.20250621 (2025-06-21T20:49:01Z)

I have an AMD Radeon 7900 GRE. I have not layered any packages on-top Bazzite. I am on the Desktop version of Bazzite, not the steam gaming mode one.
