Symptoms

Game flashes a white window briefly, then immediately closes. Used to run fine literally earlier today but then I had to restart the game because it froze and while I did that it seems Steam downloaded some runtime updates that borked it.

Reproduction

1. Launch the game with Proton Experimental on Arch btw, KDE Plasma6 Wayland
2. Observe a white window briefly appearing and then disappearing
