Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked Proton Log and System Information report, then reproduce Half-Life (Steam AppID 70) with Proton 6.3-4 or another forced Proton version. Done means identifying and fixing the cause of the “hw.dll failed to load” startup failure so the game launches successfully.
