The report names no source files, tests, or entry points; begin by reproducing Act of War: Direct Action (Steam AppID 2710) with Proton 5.0-9 on Arch Linux and review the attached logs and listed workarounds. Done would require identifying and fixing the reported startup, video, popup, panel, or cursor compatibility issue and confirming the result, but the issue does not define a specific code change.
