Description

Today i reinstalled Arch on my rebuilt PC, and trying to run a game, for example, NieR Automata, with Proton 5.0-9, crashes to desktop when loading. Custom forks seem to be working. I'll attach the log, never had this happen to me. I tried re-validating files, but they seemed to be fine. Haven't tested other official Proton versions.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the attached steam-524220.log and the report for NieR Automata under Proton 5.0-9. Compare the failure with the working custom forks and investigate whether it reproduces on another official Proton version. Done means identifying the cause of the crash and confirming a fix or documented limitation.
