dunno if it helps but this is the log after the error I sent above

awake-maroon•11/21/25, 10:01 PM

to be sure, did you check Epic Games Mass Effect Legendary Edition Silently crashes ?

I understand you'll need a custom legendary binary or use a non-flatpak version of heroic or wait for a future relase with that fix
