Logs of Dorfromantik (1455840):

Log of game with working Proton 6.3-2
steam-1455840_Proton_6.3-2.log.gz

Log of game with broken Proton 6.3-4
steam-1455840_Proton_6.3-4.log.gz

Symptoms

Game simply stops running with Proton 6.3-4, has been running fine with 6.3-3/6.3-2 and 5.13-6

Reproduction

Just switch between Proton 6.3-4 and previous 6.3 Versions
I've had an older steam installation available, on an other box, and took the Proton Version from there to verify that the game runs fine with older versions.
I think there is a problem with the wine update on May, 13th

Research direction

Start by comparing the attached Dorfromantik logs for Proton 6.3-2 and 6.3-4, then review the reported regression against the Proton 6.3-4 change. Use the Proton version switch and the two listed games to reproduce it; done means both games launch successfully with Proton 6.3-4.
