Well the AppImage is a chrooted like bundle. It must run without any host
system dependencies excepted the core libc which depend of the Linux Kernel and
vis-versa). 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppImage

The chroot (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroot) allow to secure the program
execution and the host system. With the AppImage this is done at the first time
of the startup. Executable is decompressed in memory and mounted somewhere in
/tmp using Fuse. After that it run as a chrooted program.

The way to uncompress manually the appimage and run it as well will reduce the
chroot operation (i'm not sure about this point). This can have good
side-effects at run time.

In other word something is not well compatible in your system with the AppImage
mechanism or something is missing. It's difficult to judge without to be online
on your computer, but it's another story...

Best regards
