Symptoms

Game loads fine, gets to the main menu, "press any button to continue" then it says "returning to title menu" and it does that every time. Example video: https://s.lolisandstuff.moe/Zse5aFPQ.mp4

Research direction

Start by reading the attached steam-374320.log and reproducing the issue with Proton 3.16-4 or the 3.16-8 beta. The report names no source file or test, so further investigation must locate the component responsible for the main-menu transition. Done means Dark Souls III can pass the main menu and reach the game.
