Description
8.04 and Experimental and GE and every version of Proton I have tried all give the same problem. I hit PLAY for Baldur's Gate 3, a game I played a lot until my desktop died, I rebuilt it, and since I got it running, every time it starts The Bard's Tale 3, a game from a completely different developer, starts.
I got off the beta version of Steam, No differenece.
AMD Ryzen 5600X
AMD RX 6700X GPU
64GB DDR4 3400MHz
Garuda MATE Linux.
No other game does this.

Start by reproducing the launch through Steam on Garuda MATE Linux with Baldur's Gate 3 and The Bard's Tale 3 installed, comparing the reported behavior across Proton versions. The issue is complete when launching Baldur's Gate 3 consistently starts the correct game; the payload names no source files or tests, so locating the relevant launch path will require project familiarity.
