Research direction

The issue concerns changing Proton's working directory for games such as rFactor 2, including dedicated servers and development tools. No file, test, or entry point is named, so first determine where Proton or the custom launcher establishes the working directory. Done would be a supported way to change it or a clearly documented limitation.
