Research direction

Start by reproducing the black-screen and restart behavior with Resident Evil 2 and Hollow Knight on Ubuntu 20.10 using Proton 5.13-1, then compare the same games with Proton 5.09. Done means identifying the cause and verifying that the affected games no longer restart the computer.
