Steam Games not Launching

Hi there, I Installed my games on both SD card (EXfat) and on internal SSD but games does not start on steam. Clicked Play and it closes the game without launching after the steam logo loads. I have downloaded the latest proton 9.11 as well, but cannot get games to start on both game and desktop mode.

if you run steam from terminal and leave it open, what error does it say?

Have the exact same issue, except did not install anything on a sd card. Updated system fully. did google how to optimise Bazzite for gaming and follow as many instructions as I could find. Did check from proton.db website about Metro: 2033 Redux and did everything recommended. When I click launch the game starts to do its thing, then screen flickers blank for a fraction of a second and play button reappears indicating failed launch. Did open Steam from terminal to get output of error. here's the following: wine: using kernel write watches, use_kernel_writewatch 1. fsync: up and running. wine: using kernel write watches, use_kernel_writewatch 1. wine: using kernel write watches, use_kernel_writewatch 1. wine: using kernel write watches, use_kernel_writewatch 1. wine: using kernel write watches, use_kernel_writewatch 1. wine: using kernel write watches, use_kernel_writewatch 1. wine: using kernel write watches, use_kernel_writewatch 1. wine: using kernel write watches, use_kernel_writewatch 1. wine: using kernel write watches, use_kernel_writewatch 1. wine: using kernel write watches, use_kernel_writewatch 1. wine: using kernel write watches, use_kernel_writewatch 1. chdir "/var/home/bazzite/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Metro 2033 Redux" Game Recording - would start recording game 286690, but recording for this game is disabled Adding process 7524 for gameID 286690 ERROR: ld.so: object '/var/home/bazzite/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored. /bin/sh: line 1: gamemoderun: command not found Game Recording - game stopped [gameid=286690] Removing process 7524 for gameID 286690 Neofetch: -bazzite@bf68-fe6b-5dff-2ef0-1800-8a84-07d0-2001 -bazzite-nvidia-open:stable -Bazzite 41 (FROM Fedora Kinoite) -Linux 6.13.9-103.bazzite.fc41.x86_64 -GL65 9SFX (REV:1.0) -Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9750H (12) @ 4.50 GHz -NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Mobile / Max-Q Refresh [Discrete] -Intel UHD Graphics 630 @ 1.15 GHz [Integrated] -6.78 GiB / 62.63 GiB (11%) -175.63 GiB / 952.28 GiB (18%) - btrfs [Read-only] -2560x1440 @ 144 Hz (as 2849x1602) in 32" [External] -KDE Plasma 6.3.4 -KWin (Wayland) -bash 5.2.32 -Ptyxis 47.12 -2759 (rpm), 90 (flatpak) It is like that for every single game I installed from my Steam Library. Not one of them will launch,
