Research direction
Start by reproducing Risk of Rain 2 from the Steam library path /home/hdd/게임/Steam, then inspect the attached steam-632360.log and compare it with a library path containing only ASCII characters. Done means the game starts successfully from the non-ASCII path without the blank screen and shutdown.
