Application works on CrossOver using VM but not on real hardware

Hi everyone,

I have an application here with a curious behavior.
Using the trial version, we setup a virtual machine (VMware Player) with Fedora 32 and Ubuntu 20.04.
Then we installed the application successfully: Simufact Welding.
It works great, responsiveness is awesome and we thought of moving forward and doing a bigger deploy.
The next phase was to get the same machine (Lenovo W510) that was running the VM and swap the operating system.
It did not work, the application crashes during launch. No interface is brought up, nothing.
Installed Fedora 32, Ubuntu 20.04, Ubuntu 18, Linux Mint 19, openSuSUE Tumbleweed, etc.
Thought that was the nvidia driver, the nouveau driver, X11, Wayland. No combination worked.
Tried it in a more recent hardware (Lenovo P50), no luck again.
The VM however works every time in all hardware we tested: no need to add i386 arch, no need to cxfix --auto, it just works.

Has anyone experienced this before? Any clues?

Appreciate your time and response!
