Description

I tried to google for the solution of my problem, they said that I have to do something with "PROTON_LOG=1 %command%". I did that but when I click "Play" on the Cobalt Demo menu, it just said "Cobalt Demo - Running" on the left menu, then a small window appear and disappear less than 1s later.

Also, I've read a post on It's FOSS, which was written on about August 2018, and they said that only 27 games are whitelisted. So, am I doing it incorrectly or is the game not whitelisted/supported yet?

Research direction

The report names Ubuntu 18.04.2, Proton 4.2.5, Cobalt Demo, and the PROTON_LOG=1 %command% launch option, but it does not identify a source file or test. Reproduce the launch failure and inspect the generated Proton log; done would require determining whether the title is supported and identifying a specific fix or confirmed compatibility limitation.
