Steam runtime crashes games immediatley after launching

I’ve been looking all over to see if anyone else has had this issue, and whatever solutions I try to fix it dont work.
I have tried the flatpak version of steam and the games launch, but i cant seem to give it permission to access my secondary drive where I install my games. (giving it file system access permissions via flatseal just causes it to no longer launch at all)
I tried the optional “Native” version of steam and its the same story as the run time, I’ll hit play on a game and it will start launching say its “running” while nothing shows up and then crash a few seconds later.

here’s what its saying with the pixel remaster version of Final Fantasy 1 a game that is supposed to run fine with proton:

my best guess is the runtime is having some issues with the overlay, but I am kind of clueless how I am supposed to fix that. …
this hasnt happened until today, and I would really rather not have to reinstall manjaro just to fix this, anybody got any suggestions? and yes I have tried fixing the library linking and that hasnt done anything either.

go to Steam on prefs for Proton
and change experimental to last version 6.3

Do you mean steam-manjaro or steam-native? Try steam-manjaro

Also,deleting the prefix and start again,the prefix should be called 1173770 if this the game (the number is in the URL)

~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/1173770

You can also try Proton GE

Tip: When pasting terminal output on Discourse forums, one can either…

  • Highlight it and use the Preformatted text </> toolbar button.

  • Add three backticks ` above and below the text (Markdown):

    ```
    text
    ```

  • Use HTML:

    <pre><code>
    text
    </pre></code>

Please edit your post accordingly.

Just tried both the solutions in steam-manjaro, but neither seems to have worked.
