Red dead 2 error 17

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.

Hm, that's definitely odd, I have a 7900XTX and Bazzite and have played it multiple times. Did you purchase it through Steam I assume? In my experience it's always Social Club as you're seeing. I wonder if there's something that needs to be installed like via protontricks, but just guessing for now

I remember when I played, there was a proton version that was specifically for rdr2. Like it has rdr2 in the name

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!

This is cursed but would probably fix it:

$chmod -R 777 $STEAMAPPS/compatdata/1174180 &&chmod -R a+x $STEAMAPPS/compatdata/1174180

This would need to be done after every update to the game or its proton prefix.

Edit: if it wasn't obvious, "$STEAMAPPS" should be replaced with the path to your steam library

Just to add, this gives anyone with physical access to your system or ssh access to your system the right to run edit or view any file contained within that folder.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried this, in addition to doing the same with the game files (just in case). Unfortunately it did not work :(

Here's the full log from the socialclub.log file

The log implies it is unable to render the web page that the launcher contains.

My suggestion for this is to:
Using Protontricks in the game prefix, install wine-internet-explorer

Verify you don't have the game stuck behind a firewall

If you have the flatpak steam, try a native install (honestly just throwing spaghetti at the wall here)

If I can be honest though, I don't know if it will help. I've seen similar issues crop up over the years with rockstar games and I've never seen it be resolved, only that complaints stops.
