Flatpak Steam client can not load Nvidia drivers

[JN19aban]

Hi,

I am using Opensuse Leap 16.0 with Steam installed from Flatpak, so after the latest Nvidia driver update 580.126.18 the games can not be started. If I revert on previous version everything is working ok. I am notcing this also. After installation of new Nvidia drivers the KDE was "refreshing" the Steam app and other driver related apps, which is not doing on the latest Nvidia version.....

The output when starting Steam:
