Crashes on launch, immediately after building shader cache. I get a black window for ~2 seconds before getting a silent crash with no popups. I do get logs which have been provided.

update: this is an issue with proton-ge 10-29 while using the env var PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1. please forgive my false report.

FIX: set PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=0 or use another version of proton.
