Winboat fails to install Bazzite DX

hey guys, i just rebased to bazzite dx and i cant seem to install winboat. It failed immediately before starting and doesnt even create the container. Previously, the logs said "Failed to get device strings for 2109:0815" and "Command failed: lsusb", but now the logs dont even get that far. They just say this now:

2025-10-16 23:12:04 | INFO | New state: "Install Error"
2025-10-16 23:12:04 | ERROR | Failed to start container.
2025-10-16 23:12:04 | ERROR | Error: Command failed: docker compose -f /home/gio/.winboat/docker-compose.yml up -d

2025-10-16 23:12:04 | INFO | New state: "Install Error"
2025-10-16 23:12:04 | ERROR | Failed to start container.
2025-10-16 23:12:04 | ERROR | Error: Command failed: docker compose -f /home/gio/.winboat/docker-compose.yml up -d

Im not sure where to start troubleshooting this, thanks
