Research direction

Start by reproducing the Need for Speed launch through Proton Experimental with EA Play and capture the full Fossilize log around sType 1000068000. Then trace how unsupported pNext structures are handled during graphics-pipeline recording; done means the crash and repeated error are resolved or the limitation is clearly characterized.
