Research direction

Start by reproducing the black screen after the splash screen with Proton 3.7-8 Beta, then compare steam-291690.log and steam-291690.v2.log, including the lib32-smbclient difference. Done means Empathy: Path of Whispers starts past the splash screen and displays the game rather than remaining black.
