Lutris: Pre-launch / Post-exit scripts not being executed (feddit.org)

I'm on Nobara 42 and use the pre-installed Lutris.

I'm trying to use pre-launch and post-exit scripts with Lutris. My script looks like this: echo "pre launch" > /home/me/Documents/lutris.txt and creates the textfile when I run it manually.
I set the full path to the script in a game as a Pre-launch script and toggled Wait for pre-launch script completion to on.
The game just launches normally when I click play and the text-file is not created.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

There is no space in the path.

And it is executable, if I paste the exact line from the config-dialog into a terminal the script runs as expected and creates the text-file.
