Substance fails to launch

When I click play in steam for substance painter 2024 it tries to load briefly before crashing.

Has anyone had luck running SP2024 on bazzite?

From the searches I’ve done it seems to be possible, but I’m having no luck. I’ve found posts talking about launch options like
steam -compat-force-sir off 
steam -compat-force-sir off 

But didn’t have any luck with that.
There were also posts about targeting steam linux runtime 3.0 (sniper). But I don’t have the option to target it, 2.0 and 1.0 don’t seem to work.

Bit of a bummer since it seems the substance painter devs actually put work into making it run on Linux.
