Flatpak of Protontricks on Ubuntu 24.10 crashes (after the main game selection window)

[dziadulewicz]

Flatpak of Protontricks (latest) on Ubuntu 24.10 crashes after the main game selection window. After clicking OK on that main window, starts a very long loading phase and the Protontricks window closes. This is also confusing (as the window closes) whether the app is still running or not (the hdd works intense).

Output (window pops up) after this long time of loading:

And then next one after clicking ok says:

/home/tux/.var/app/com.github.Matoking.protontricks/cache/protontricks/proton/Proton 9.0/bin/wine cmd.exe /c echo '%AppData%' returned empty string, error message "steam-runtime-launch-client[2006]: W: The --socket option is deprecated. Prefer to use the session bus.

Then nothing. Protontricks is just "gone".

A snap package would be so handy to install from App Center for Ubuntu users. Installing Flatpak support is cumbersome in itself for normal users who want to game titles that require Protontricks / Winetricks.
