Linux AppImage not loading 2D menus and text in many games

[TriVoxel]

Bug Description

Several games are not loading the 2D menus properly. It seems FMVs tend to work reliably, but many loading screens and main menus are not displaying correctly. For instance, Conker's BFD does not render text/the intro loading screen at all or any HUD #1440. Soulcaliber II does not render any 2D elements. GTA Vice City does not display any menus until you reach a loading screen. Mortal Kombat Armageddon showed no HUD or 2D menus. All these games worked in some capacity, being able to render the 3D graphics just fine.

Additionally, I tried the Flatpak release. This release did load many of these menus, but I ran into #1439.

I'm lumping multiple games as one as I believe it is the same underlying issue impacting each game. Most of these games have black intros, black menus, occasionally showing a highlight or something. All are technically able to be navigated, but the menus are not rendered correctly.

Expected Behavior

Games should show their 2D menus.

I've gotten the Flatpak version to not crash, and I can now confirm that on the same computer, the Flatpak version does not have this issue. In fact, all of the above issues are exclusive to the AppImage release.
