Can't comment on the cause, but I've found a workaround for this by launching steam from the terminal. I suppose that the gnome launcher calls a different version or uses some specific parameters.

I'll check it when I'm less lazy (hmmm)

Would like not to use the terminal, I try my best to stay away from it at all cost

You can set up a keyboard shortcut, which runs off the terminal commands, then you're always using it but not using it, also
