Description

After installing proton 8 none of games are working, also proton experimental doesnt work. I've tried all of my games and none on them even started. Problem is with AMD gpus with latest mesa. Works fine on all versions of 7 and below.

I've found this in logs:
2858.735:0210:0214:fixme:kernelbase:AppPolicyGetProcessTerminationMethod FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFA, 000000000011FEB0 gamemodeauto: dlopen failed - libgamemode.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory gamemodeauto: dlopen failed - libgamemode.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory gamemodeauto: dlopen failed - libgamemode.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory gamemodeauto: dlopen failed - libgamemode.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory gamemodeauto: dlopen failed - libgamemode.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory gamemodeauto: dlopen failed - libgamemode.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory gamemodeauto: dlopen failed - libgamemode.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory pid 14988 != 14987, skipping destruction (fork without exec?)

But I didnt add game mode to launch options

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure with Proton 8 or Proton Experimental on an AMD GPU using the latest Mesa, then compare it with Proton 7. The payload names no source files or tests; the log excerpts and the reported game-mode loading messages are the main evidence, and done would require identifying and resolving the Proton 8 startup regression.
