Research direction

Start by reviewing the attached steaminfo.txt and the reported behavior with Proton Experimental for Satisfactory, Crying Suns, and Tinkertown. Reproduce the installation scenario and compare it with the case where the .wine folder is moved. Done means the games use Proton rather than the system Wine installation without requiring that workaround.
