A fix has been posted here:  
[Eve Launcher on Linux (Lutris) not working after launcher update 5/08/2025 - #9 by D43dun](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/eve-launcher-on-linux-lutris-not-working-after-launcher-update-5-08-2025/485547/9) the fix only works for steam from what i understand and the path may be different for you (was for me), but it can help you find a solution 🙂
