Description

When trying to launch Unleashed recompiled through HMM, an error window simply stating "Unable to create KIO worker. Unknown protocol 'unleashedrecomp'." pops up, and the game does not start. Happens whether using a flatpak install of Unleashed Recompiled or a bin install. I am using the flatpak version of HMM. It also doesn't seem to matter if any codes or mods are enabled or not, or if the mod loader is even enabled, launching the game through HMM still gives the error. Both Frontiers and SXSG launch flawlessly.

Running CachyOS 7.1.5-1 64-bit with KDE Plasma 6.7.3

Log files included for both bin and flatpak respectively

HedgeModManager.log
HedgeModManager 2.log

Research direction

Start by comparing the attached HedgeModManager.log and HedgeModManager.2.log for the bin and Flatpak launches, then reproduce the failure with Unleashed Recompiled through HMM on Linux. Trace the launch path for the unleashedrecomp protocol and compare it with the working Frontiers and SXSG launches. Done means Unleashed Recompiled starts without the KIO worker error in both installation forms.
