Welcome to the forum! :vulcan_salute:

First of all, please peruse the following tutorial — it’s quite explanatory… :backhand_index_pointing_down:

Secondly, it does indeed happen with certain games and with FlatPaks or Snaps that you cannot access everything in the system, because FlatPaks and Snaps are containerized applications with limited access to the system’s resources. Certain games are like that as well.
