Research direction
Start by reviewing steam-374320.log and the linked system information report, then compare the startup behavior across Proton 4.2-4 and 3.16-4. Done means identifying a reproducible cause for the black-screen crash and documenting or fixing it, but the issue does not name a source file or test to change.
