Describe the bug

Every time I try to launch a game, I get this error. It happens whether or not: -It's a long time or fresh install of Linux -On both Ubuntu and Mint -On two separate laptops -Using backups of Proton-GE and Wine-GE -Using fresh downloads of the same -Using the x64 tarball, the AppImage, or the installed DEB package -With access given to the Heroic launcher as well as unlocking the entire contents of my /home directory using right-click to properties -Putting the GE directories in .config, the Downloads directory, or /home/Games -Instructing prefixes to be installed to any combination of the same -Putting the game in any combination of the same

It's likely my problem somewhere regarding directory access or something, so if it's a simple fix regarding the OS or permissions or whatnot, I'd love to know what's up. Much thanks.

Also, whenever I try to run games using regular Wine-devel, the game opens fine, but when I choose one of the GE flavors, Wine or Proton, I get the "A uncaught exception occured: Error: spawn /home/ME/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/default/Game/drive_c/Proton-GE-latest/files/bin/wineserver EACCES Report the exception on our Github repository." error, and all of the hidden folders and files in my Home directory get hidden again, forcing me to unhide them.

It turns out I was right and it was a file rights issue of some kind: I had to set every file in the GE directories to be allowed executed as programs using "chmod -R 777" from the Proton-GE and Wine-GE directories. I don't get why everything was running perfectly just a few months ago and then all of a sudden this problem cropped up, maybe because I updated from Ubuntu 22.04-2 to 22.04-4 and there were some safety extras enabled or whatever.

this can be closed, right?
