Research direction

Start by reproducing Doom (Steam AppID 379720) under Proton using the reported GTX 970, NVIDIA 396.54 driver, and Ubuntu 4.15.0-33-generic system details. Done means the introduction videos render without flickering, audio and keyboard/mouse input work, and the game does not end on a black screen.
