Cannot launch games under flatpak with custom game path
I have some games installed in heroic within a custom installation path (installed them on a separate hard rive). If I am not mistaken, heroic uses portals for the filepicker so selecting the path was not a problem. After selecting installation path for the game Among Us in the filepicker the returned path was /run/user/1000/doc/91b8fa08/AmongUs.
When I clicked the button to launch the game, the game never started and this was the console output:

I formerly used Heroic on Arch Linux (from the AUR) and I don't recall seeing the log message "Running Wine command: run wineboot --init" . it was a command that called the legenary binary.
Is this a bug?
