The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition (GOG) not starting

Running Current Bazzite on a ROG Ally z1 extream using Flatpack. After starting Skyrim and select Play game Exits. looking on the internet others claim the error in the log file can be fixed by fixing the Wine libs using packman, since I am using bazzite and flatpack, I don't think this fix is possible. sudo pacman -S wine-staging sudo pacman -S --needed --asdeps giflib lib32-giflib gnutls lib32-gnutls v4l-utils lib32-v4l-utils libpulse \ lib32-libpulse alsa-plugins lib32-alsa-plugins alsa-lib lib32-alsa-lib sqlite lib32-sqlite libxcomposite \ lib32-libxcomposite ocl-icd lib32-ocl-icd libva lib32-libva gtk3 lib32-gtk3 gst-plugins-base-libs \ lib32-gst-plugins-base-libs vulkan-icd-loader lib32-vulkan-icd-loader sdl2-compat lib32-sdl2-compat

Tried before reporting all same; Wine-GE-Proton8-26 Wine-GE-Proton7-27 GE-Proton10-10 GE-Proton9-27 GE-Proton8-19 Strange thing is this game did work under SteamOS under HGL but not with Bazzite on the same device.

Hey it looks like the log file you posted was trying to use WineGE - GE Proton 8-26. Could you try changing it to Proton - Proton GE 10-10 and post your logfile?

Are you trying to launch from within Steam, or from desktop? Ideally from Steam (Game mode)? In Heroic, for the Skyrim game settings try un-checking to use Game Mode

I was using game mode, launching Heroic and then launching Skyrim. I tried launching Heroic in desktop mode and then Skyrim, same results. I also used Heroic "Add to Steam" option and it also had same result launching. I don't see an option to un-checking to use Game Mode, please describe this setting location.

Game Settings > Other > Uncheck Use GameMode The other thing you could try (while in desktop mode) is adding Skyrim to Steam directly Steam > Library > Add Non-Steam Game Set compatibility to Proton GE

Uncheck Use GameMode and tried Skyrim in Steam directly. Both have the same problem. Steam's Skyrim Version does work in Steam. Just GOG Skyrim version does not work Heroic or Steam. I don't need it to work, I also own a Steam version, just reporting a Bug. Five of my other games worked under SteamOS and had similar error logs when running Heroic under Bazzite.
