Description

Describe the bug
Protontricks giving me a error and not working while launching any Steam game

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Run any program (or execute protontricks -gui)
  2. Select any recognized game

Expected behavior
Should just open and let me see my various options

System (please complete the following information):

  • Distro: EndeavourOS (6.19.12-arch1-1 linux)
  • Protontricks installation method: Community package
  • Protontricks version: protontricks (1.14.1)
  • Steam version: No beta chosen

Additional context

After a couple of weeks not playing Steam games on my Linux machine I went and tried to play Deep Rock Galactic (but the game doesn't really matter), and after a bit of troubleshooting not a single one of my games that work with Proton boot at all (They barely stay a frame on "stop" before closing and giving me the "Play" button again), and when i checked if I could run my games with Wine or Protontricks I found out that on Wine they work (but ofc they don't recognize Steam) and on Protontricks they simply throw me a error:

Protontricks was closed due to the following error:
