ScreenCast Portal is missing, can't screencapture in OBS and other programs (under Wayland)

Hello there,

org.freedesktop.portal.ScreenCast seems to be missing from Tumbleweed for a couple of updates now for me.
That goes for both my desktop and ThinkPad, both running Tumbleweed and Plasma 6.

I notice for a while now that OBS (the software) can’t capture my desktop after selecting a monitor in the picker and only shows a black screen.

Asking in the OBS Discord someone came up with installing ashpd from Flathub to test portals.
Whenever I try to test the ScreenCast portal now, the software returns it couldn’t communicate with said portal.

'systemctl --user list-utils --all|grep -i “wire|xdg” returns the following too:

Sorry for posting it as a screenshot, I’m currently at work where my workstation runs Mint Debian which I just have tested with ashpd too.
There, the ScreenCast portal works just fine with no errors.

Can anyone help me fixing this?

I honestly don’t know what to do other than to stick with Xorg which is no long term solution.
Only other idea is to switch distros which honestly sounds even worse.
