Research direction

Start by reproducing the report with Flatpak Steam, BattleTech, and the affected bleeding-edge Proton version, comparing it with a previous release. Check whether background and in-game videos remain black and whether quitting still freezes the process; done means both behaviors are resolved or their regression cause is isolated.
