Symptoms

• Normally game doesn't launch after installation.
• Game has a beta, which you can join, to skip the launcher.
• Open library, launch game there for a popup where you can select skip launcher option (doesn't pop up from quick launch).
• Game may crash if you change video settings many times in row.
• If game starts windowed it may start stretched to desktop.
  • Don't move window position before you got to the character selection or it may go to unreachable place.
  • Moving resizes it in Ubuntu 18.04.
  • I used alt + space to move the window and alt stayed down ingame, which caused character walk slowly, and you just have to press alt again to release it.

Reproduction

• Install the game in steam.
• Join temporary_launcher_workaround beta for the game.
  • Verify local files (If you started it before, maybe optional?).
• Launch game through library and select bypass launcher, click play.

Start by reproducing the Warhammer: Vermintide 2 issue using Steam AppID 552500, Proton 3.7-6, and the listed beta-launch workaround. Review the attached steam-552500.log and the reported launch, crash, and window-management symptoms; no source file or test entry point is named, and done would require a verified compatibility improvement.
