Vesktop flatpak (via Bazaar) opens as blank window

bug
I've seen folks talk about using Vesktop instead of the official Discord flatpak, so I assume it typically works in Bazzite. However, when I try to launch the flatpak, it just opens a blank window.

If I launch it from terminal with
flatpak run dev.vencord.Vesktop
flatpak run dev.vencord.Vesktop
, I get the following:

Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
Solution
Looks like this is due to Discord blocking Linux VPNs to some degree now? Following https://github.com/Vencord/Vesktop/issues/1212, I ran the Vesktop Flatpak with
--user-agent-os windows
--user-agent-os windows
and it immediately worked.

Hopefully this helps out anyone else that may run into this.
