Description

Using Proton 3.7-4 Beta Just Cause 2 crashes on startup with
Unhandled exception: privileged instruction in 32-bit code (0x00449000).

I am posting this one because I have seen this error in a few other games I have tried this past weekend. It seems to me there may be a common fix, but this is the game I have put the most time into overall
