memory:67:22: error: syntax error, unexpected NEW_IDENTIFIER

Research direction

Start by reviewing steam-1503530.log and reproducing the failure when launching Minit Fun Racer with Proton 5.13-6. Compare the failing default launch with the game's beta "shadertest" version, which reportedly works on Proton. Done would require identifying and resolving the Vertex Shader compilation error in shdSwap, but the report does not name a Proton source file or test.
