Description
I've tried around 10 games all using various engines and both 2d and 3d yet anytime I launch with proton 8 the games refuse to load. This is also an issue with proton experimental, the latest proton-ge, and all the proton forks based off 8 I've tried.
Proton 7 still works as intended, so I've downgraded to using that until this issue is resolved, but support to resolve this would be appreciated. (I'm aware this is most likely user error)
