Symptoms

there's a native pc port of viva pinata and ive been trying to get this to run for hours. got the .dll file that strips away GFWL and everything. works fine on my windows 10 pc with it showing the launcher and you can launch the game fine but on steam OS beit steam's proton or ge proton, it just takes me to the launcher and the launcher is broken with it being a blank static image with no way to click "play". I'm assuming this is a proton problem and i should just wait?

Reproduction

go to old games download and download the game, install it on a windows machine, transfer it to steamdeck, get the gfwl removal patch here https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/files/file/576-bulletstorm-xlivedll/, paste it in game folder, add "startup.exe" as a non steam game, use any version of proton, click on "yes" and it'll take you to the static launcher with no words.

No repository file or test is named. Start by reproducing the startup.exe launch on SteamOS with Proton 3.70 and collect the requested Proton log; the report would need a confirmed compatibility cause and a scoped fix or documented workaround before implementation can begin.
