Does not start.
Found this in app directory . I think it is not related to Proton at all.

Seems to be easily solved. But i am not developer.

Reproduction

Run it.

Start by reproducing the failure with Proton 4.1 on the reported Intel and kernel 5.11 setup, then inspect the game's Putt-Putt -- Pep's Birthday Surprise.log in the app directory. Use the reported YAGA boot traceback as the starting point; done means establishing a confirmed compatibility diagnosis and a way for the game to start.
