Description
I tried running the demo to Tormented Souls using Proton but just get a weird coloured screen when trying to start a game. I was unable to get the PROTON_LOG=1 %command% to produce a log file but I used "&> log.txt" and got a crude log file:
Here is a screenshot of the coloured screen:

I'm guessing some video codec issue but i'm unsure. I noticed in that log file that it mentioned Fsync was running but adding the command "PROTON_NO_FSYNC=1 %command%" didn't solve the issue. I also tried using Proton Experimental instead of 6.3-7 but the issue remained.
I have checked whether there are updates for my system available and I am up to date

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Tormented Souls Demo launch with Proton 6.3-7 and Proton Experimental, then inspect the attached log.txt and the linked system gist. Compare the coloured-screen failure with the reported Fsync and video-codec clues; done means the demo starts a game without the coloured screen and the cause or required compatibility change is verified.
