Flatpak runtime 25.08 testing

Hello all, a Flatpak package using the 25.08 Freedesktop runtime is now available on the Flathub Beta repository. The 25.08 runtime is the most recent available runtime, meaning support for newer hardware & technologies should be improved. If you have a moment, please test this version by running the following commands inside your terminal application: 
# Add Flathub Beta repository
flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists flathub-beta https://flathub.org/beta-repo/flathub-beta.flatpakrepo

# Install Heroic from Flathub Beta
flatpak install --user --assumeyes flathub-beta com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl

# Install 32-bit dependencies. These are auto-installed normally, but this doesn't seem to work for the beta repo
flatpak install --user --assumeyes flathub runtime/org.freedesktop.Platform.Compat.i386/x86_64/25.08 runtime/org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.default/x86_64/25.08
# Add Flathub Beta repository
flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists flathub-beta https://flathub.org/beta-repo/flathub-beta.flatpakrepo

# Install Heroic from Flathub Beta
flatpak install --user --assumeyes flathub-beta com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl

# Install 32-bit dependencies. These are auto-installed normally, but this doesn't seem to work for the beta repo
flatpak install --user --assumeyes flathub runtime/org.freedesktop.Platform.Compat.i386/x86_64/25.08 runtime/org.freedesktop.Platform.GL32.default/x86_64/25.08
If you do not have the stable release of Heroic installed via Flatpak, you can now run Heroic by simply finding it in your application launcher, or running flatpak run com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl If you already have Heroic installed via Flatpak, run flatpak run --branch=beta com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl to run the Beta version Please report on your experience in this thread, especially if you encountered any issues. Thanks!

I'll try later on my steamdeck I tried it and it works on my steamdeck, but I was never able to reproduce the issue with the controllers (the reason we were using 23 by default instead of 24) so I don't really know if 25 fixes the problem
