I get this same error on an anime game launcher too

Are you perhaps using Fedora Silverblue or related distro? Changing the installation location to /var/home/user/.var/.... fixes the issue

[bayazidbh]

I think this should be on wiki in the Flatpak install section. But ideally the launcher could check if /home is mounted from else where (/var) to account for Silverblue/Atomic and Bazzite users. Immutable distro's getting more popular lately, after all.

Regardless, yeah, adding /var before the default path works.
