Description
When starting any proton-based game on a dual-monitor setup, the game will start on the non-primary monitor. Attempting to manually set the display variable to 0.0 or 0.1 via either the launch options or the user_settings.py file prevents the game(s) from launching at all.
EDIT: In game monitor selection also does nothing.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with a Proton-based game on a dual-monitor setup, testing the launch options and user_settings.py display variable mentioned in the report. Verify whether in-game monitor selection changes the result. Done means the game launches on the primary monitor without breaking when the display setting is provided.
