This needs way more information to be useful. How did you add the game, how did you install the app, etc.

Steps to reproduce the issue I installed the game through pressing the +, selected my directory and selected the exe, and then pressed play How i added the game. I added the game from my directory, and selected the file(exe). How did you install the app. I installed it through flathub on my chromebook, aarch64 arm chromebook.

oh and btw I tested it on terminal and it says "/bin/sh: 1: /home/myname/game.exe: Permission denied" idk if that helps but I figured i'd tell you.

EDIT: (I also used "chmod +x" to give permission but now it's saying "Exec Format error" idkw but it's compatable w/Chromebooks [ARM64] and mine especially, just letting u know.)

.exe is a Windows executable. It will not work with ChromeOS without a Windows translation layer like Wine, or a virtual machine. This is not a Cartridges issue.
