My usual 'shot in the dark' when someone mentions windows versions: Is the game data on a shared NTFS partition? If so, move it to a native linux FS like ext4 and try again.
This is good advise. My husband just installed Linux as a dual boot on his system over the weekend. He was having trouble with games that worked fine on my system until we re-downloaded them onto the Linux drive. Then they worked fine.
I don't have any shared partitions.
Still worth a shot to mention.
Proton just doesn't seem to like any data on an NTFS partition, but the error message is ugly and buried so I mentioned it in all of these types of posts.
