Can't open appimage (memory violation or kioslave5 issues)

It seems that after last testing update something happened and I can’t launch the appimage (Clickup). Terminal showed me: “memory violation” error and nothing more.

I deleted the old appimage, downloaded the newer one, launched it with appimage launcher but this time it says kisolave5 crash over and over.

Basically, appimage is not usable. I thought the idea was that the appimages are self-contained apps, that launch without problems all the time. So what is happening? How to fix it?

EDIT: Since I need the app NOW, I switched to snap, which works. Still, appimages should run. Maybe I’ll check some other appimage to find out if the problem is with all appimages or just this one.

EDIT 2: The same kioslave5 issue for some different appimage, so the issue is for all appimages.

This is the info about the crash with debug symbols:

Application: kioslave5 (kioslave5), signal: Segmentation fault
