Proton/Lutris wont launch windows games at all

I recently did a fresh install of opensuse and cannot play anything on lutris or using proton on steam. After enabling compatability for everything on steam i cant play any windows games that would work on other linux distros, including past fresh installs of opensuse. Lutris doesnt launch .EXE’s at all, and gives an error code that you can see at the bottom of this post. I have tested linux native games and they work perfectly fine. Running .EXE’s directly using wine also works, but obviously doesnt run well and does not render stuff well.

I made sure to download the vulkan drivers for AMD suggested here, and i had all of them already. Wine is installed and i am completely at a loss of what to do. I would appreciate any help :slight_smile:

Lutris error code:
Start monitoring process.
fsync: up and running.
wine: RLIMIT_NICE is <= 20, unable to use setpriority safely
wine: Call from 000000007B013AD7 to unimplemented function shell32.dll.SHGetDesktopFolder, aborting
Monitored process exited.
Initial process has exited (return code: 1280)

There’s a problem atm with selinux and wine/proton. You can find here how to solve it.

Thank you! doing:

sudo setsebool selinuxuser_execmod 1

allows me to play proton and lutris games. However i would like to know how safe it is to set it permanently? or should i just set it only when i am going to play games?
