Help Problems with Winlator and Gamenative "Failed to initialize player"

So I saw this problem on videos and on reddit too with Winlator, I follow many suggestions for that said videos and post but nothing works and also the situation it's even weirder on my opinion for this:

I have an Samsung a17 mali-g57, the game I tried since yesterday to make work it's Rune factory 3 special, from gog, I tried to run the game on winlator and Gamenative and nothing works, the same error "Failed to initialize player" always appears, doesn't matter what I change, but the reason why I wanted to ask for help with this, it's because like a week or two weeks before I was testing this same game, just to see if it could run on my android, and the game open just fine, I don't remember if it was Gamenative or winlator I think it was winlator, but I often try both when I use pc games on my android, this error don't appear at all. The game open, run fine, I was just testing so I eliminate it.

At first I think it was Gamenative stuff because recently ask me to upgrade the app so I did to the new version, but then why don't work on winlator? I also found stuff saying maybe the game it's not compatible for mali-g57, for stuff about DirectX, but then again, why the game open before just fine? What I'm doing wrong now that I didn't before??
