Research direction

Start by reviewing steam-22300.log and reproducing the reported launcher sequence with Proton 3.7: the launcher auto-selects a configuration, closes, and reopens instead of starting Fallout 3. Done means identifying and resolving the launch failure so the game proceeds past the launcher.
