Unreal Tournament 2004 will not run Linux native binary
So, I'll preface this with first stating, I obtained a digital purchase through GOG, which I understand does not include the Linux binaries. However, the original disc files do have the native Linux binaries found under System/ut2004-bin-linux-amd64 on the original disc.
Heroic absolutely will refuse, in any attempts, to run the file. It refuses to even appear when selecting All Files and trying to manually point to it. The entire folder has had the permissions loosened and the file itself is set to read-only. The game will run as normal with a simple desktop shortcut, natively.
UT2004 is a game that does not translate well and works best with the appropriate native binary. It suffers from hitching and stutters even on newer systems when working through WINE/Proton to try and run the Windows executable. I would like to see that this issue is alleviated in some way. The new patches from OldUnreal also work, regardless if you run the Windows or Linux binaries.

The log is basically saying, if I'm reading it correctly, to run the binary, but preload it first, and run it from the preload, but the preload is having trouble running it due to run permissions?
This is the actual error:

Yeah, enabling the Steam Runtime brings back this now:

I'll see if installing the non-flatpak version fixes this.
And, it will not (Debian package, tried installing libSDL 1.2, this is as far as it gets me)

So strange it will run with a direct shortcut. I even
