Description

**Game information**

Resident Evil Revelations 2

**Distribution name and version where applicable**

Fedora Silverblue 42

**Flatpak info**

flatpak --version:
Flatpak 1.16.1

flatpak --gl-drivers:
default
host

**Problem description**

The game has a bug on windows that crashes the game if it's installed on a different partition than C: when clicking to open the inventory with an item on it in the tutorial:

https://steamcommunity.com/app/287290/discussions/0/610574394229184546/

This exact crash happens when running the game in this flatpak version of steam while when using the oficial Linux version of steam the problem doesn't happen.

No external drives are in use here, there is only one SSD on the system and install locations of both steam and the game are to their default locations as are the proton prefixes to drive C.

**Does this issue reproduce with native Steam**

No

Research direction

Start by reproducing the crash in Flatpak Steam by opening the inventory with an item during the Resident Evil Revelations 2 tutorial, then compare it with native Steam as described in the issue and linked discussion. Done means the game no longer crashes in the Flatpak setup under the reported conditions.
