Unexpected error. (#1)

For details, see repro steps below

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Install FlatPak
  2. Activate FlatHub
  3. Install FlatSeal from FlatHub
  4. Install Steam from FlatHub
  5. Change the following permissions in FlatSeal (for privacy reasons):
    • Deactivate share=ipc
    • Activate device=dri
    • Deactivate device=all
    • Deactivate allow=devel
    • Deactivate allow=bluetooth
  6. Install Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime
  7. Install Start Sea of Thieves
  8. Launch Start Sea of Thieves
    • Expected: Game launches
    • Actual: The error depicted in the issue details above

Running it through FlatPak and the permission changes in step 5 are non-negotiable, I'm not giving Steam and all games free reign over my system.
Steam is neither inspecting nor sandboxing the games on its own and I don't want some rogue game to steal my browser cookies or something, so I'm taking what I think are appropriate precautions.

Hello @TomyLobo, we're tracking issues with games run with Proton in the Proton issue tracker. Also, we're using one issue report per unofficially supported game title, so I've gone ahead and transferred this issue report to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/3931#issuecomment-2393714518.
