Symptoms

Launching the game presents a grey box with no buttons to launch.
Quitting the game leaves running process "DOAX VenusVacation Launcher" consuming 97% of the CPU time until it is killed.

Reproduction

1. Launch the game as normal from Steam.
2. Quit the launcher by pressing the close button.
3. Observe the "DOAX VenusVacation Launcher" process after closing the window.
4. Desktop feels sluggish while process is running.
5. Kill the process to recover.

Note: At this time, the game is region locked in the west, so may be hard to reproduce the error for those in that region. Although it is able to be downloaded behind a VPN.

The report names no source files, tests, or code entry points; start with the linked Proton log and the listed reproduction steps for the launcher process. Done would require a confirmed resolution for the grey launcher and the high-CPU process, with a regression test only if the project provides a relevant test location.
