I can't get the damn thing to load on my machine -_-
Did you try with Proton-GE? Regular Proton would not load for me for some reason.
I did, I tried multiple Proton versions, tried experimental and tried it with the bleeding edge beta option.
None of them acted differently, all if them loaded the black screen with the loading icon bottom right and then crashed and gave no details on why it crashed at all.
What does the log say? PROTON_LOG=1 launch parameter and then check your home directory.
