Research direction

Start by reproducing the missing-text behavior with Hot Springs Story or another listed Kairosoft game using Proton 7.0-2 and the reported system details. Compare the launch and empty-button behavior across the listed Steam AppIDs; done means text renders in the games, but the issue names no files or tests to guide implementation.
