(Upon adding PROTON_LOG=1 to the launch parameters, the music no longer plays)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the black screen with Prey With Gun (Steam AppID 718940) on Proton 4.2-2, then inspect the attached steam-718940.log and compare behavior with PROTON_LOG=1. Done means the game launches with a visible menu rather than only menu music and keyboard input.
