Launching the app from terminal: flatpak run com.spotify.Client
I get the error: (spotify:4): libayatana-appindicator-WARNING **: 11:05:05.095: libayatana-appindicator is deprecated. Please use libayatana-appindicator-glib in newly written code.
It takes a few tries but works. When you encounter it, just quit the app (I use Win+Q shortcut in COSMIC) and start it again.
Also despite not showing the UI, when you focus the window and hit space or multimedia play key it will play the track.
Is anybody affected using AMD GPU? It might be one of these issues that happen only on Nvidia GPUs.
FTR, I have the issue with 595 and 610 Nvidia drivers.

I doubt it's the same issue. After closing the window, I have to kill the other spotify processes otherwise the window will not show up. Multimedia keys does nothing.
Same issue here, up-to-date Arch Linux, flathub update says "nothing to do". X11, Nvidia + integrated Intel in reverse Prime setup. My feeling is, too, that this is a rendering-related issue.

you may try removing
~/.var/app/com.spotify.Client/cacheand start the app again.Dzubrul commentedon May 25, 2026
Sadly, that didn't do anything.

Seeing the same thing in Manjaro with XFCE, first noticed it yesterday. Clearing the cache didn't work for me either.
Erick555 commentedon May 27, 2026
could you try if installing test version helps?
Dzubrul commentedon May 27, 2026
Same issue with test version.
soundgnome commentedon May 28, 2026
Same here as well with the test version.

Interesting because visually looks the same as yours

Welp, I switched to CachyOs and it works now.
