Hello, I've recently installed bazzite on my desktop pc with an AMD 7900XT. Whenever I try to run RDR2, no matter what proton version, the game boots then gets stuck loading with a little revolver icon and eventually leads to an error code 17 saying it couldn't connect to social club. Upon looking at the logs, I see that there's an error initializing the social club UI.

I've tried reinstalling the game, deleting and recreating prefixes and changing proton versions and nothing appears to work. The game runs fine in Windows but for some reason just won't work in bazzite. I can't really find much info either on the Internet so I'm hoping someone gets might have some ideas.

I figured it out, I'm not sure if this is due to the suggestion from IngeniousRocks but I switched to ProtonGE 10, deleted the compat directory for RDR2 and tried again and it finally worked!
