Description
The full error is : 2192.964:00b8:00bc:err:winediag:nodrv_CreateWindow Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
2192.964:00b8:00bc:err:winediag:nodrv_CreateWindow The explorer process failed to start.
This is true of everything I attempt to run, vulkaninfo returns correctly, the nvidia drivers for my gtx1080 are installed and working fine.
I can run games using WINE and standard Linux games work perfectly from Steam itself, but nothing at all works using Steam Play
The entire log from Steam is here : https://pastebin.com/w9Nwrv26 (from Distraint 2)

Research direction
Start with the linked Steam log and the nodrv_CreateWindow errors; compare the failing Steam Play launch with the working WINE run on POP_OS 21.04 and the GTX1080 setup. Done means isolating a reproducible Proton-side cause or documenting that the issue depends on the local graphics configuration.
