Thanks! I tried the env variables and found no benefit, and then realised I had previously installed the flatpack version, and had already installed the system package, before realising that that action does not uninstall the flatpack.
So I removed that, found the system package program - ran that and reinstalled. (looked like installed for the first time actually, as none of what I had installed in the flatpack was visible, even though the same folder was default)
Now I seem to have an installed game, with icon in lutris.
doesn't work though, I get nothing in logs now, even though the play button has become 'Launching' permanently. Stop has no effect. I have to kill Lutris to get a play button.
I have no doubt mixing the lutris versions has messed it up (and binned my other game installs that were fine, which is why I didn't think twice to just bang the install in.)
Edited to add - I now don't have any working anything in Lutris. No installs of any kind will run, so I'm going to try and get a working Lutris before trying again, or at all.
Edited again to say - I have managed to remove all packages of Lutris, and downloaded the latest deb file from the github version:0.5.17, now the other games are possible again, so installed again RoR logs now report;

if I apply your suggestion DOTNET_BUNDLE_EXTRACT_BASE_DIR to another folder, the error just reflects the new folder, e.g.
