Symptoms

steam-322170.log

When trying to run Geometry Dash with nvidia dGPU, the game crashes before showing anything (creating a window).
(Preparing to launch... window appears, then closes, the play button in Steam stays blue for a while, then turns back to green.)

Proton logs show page fault on read access to 0x00000000 in 32-bit code (0x00000000).

Reproduction

Add prime-run %command% to launch options.

Research direction

Start by reproducing Geometry Dash with prime-run %command% and inspect the attached steam-322170.log, especially the reported 32-bit page fault. Use the listed Proton, kernel, and NVIDIA/Mesa system details as context; done means the game no longer crashes before creating a window when launched with the discrete GPU.
