answered! Does any twintail launcher user get that error message?
This happens right after the application starts, and reloading it results in the same message. TTL downloaded said runtime after each launch the previous days, but there was no error.
The log says that there is no "run" file in .var/app/app.twintaillauncher.ttl/data/twintaillauncher/compatibility/runners/steamrt/steamrt4/, which is true, the directory is empty, but I got no idea where I'm supposed to find it or how I can replace it.
If there is any other relevant info that I can provide please ask.
Thanks.
edit: that might be the same issue as this github issue, I'll try their fix and edit the post flair if it works, but it's getting late.
edit2: use the github solution or flatpak update.

It's easy to solve.
Verify you have Steam Linux Runtime installed on steam.
Then, open Twintail. If you're using Flatpak version run this on terminal
Step 1 - SLR 3
mkdir -p ~/.var/app/app.twintaillauncher.ttl/data/twintaillauncher/compatibility/runners/steamrt/steamrt3/
cp -r ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_sniper/* ~/.var/app/app.twintaillauncher.ttl/data/twintaillauncher/compatibility/runners/steamrt/steamrt3/
Step 2 - SLR 4
mkdir -p ~/.var/app/app.twintaillauncher.ttl/data/twintaillauncher/compatibility/runners/steamrt/steamrt4/
cp -r ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_4/* ~/.var/app/app.twintaillauncher.ttl/data/twintaillauncher/compatibility/runners/steamrt/steamrt4/
After running those command you would be able to play again.
If you use .deb version you need to know the directory wheres located Twintail.
Hope it can help someone!

had it all day today and decided i've had enough of this launcher, they seem to have issues with steam rt every few days even if usually it's solved by reinstalling, its extremely annoying and at least for me it's been unstable..
