If I select Proton-5.13.4 and click 'play', nothing loads. After 2-3 seconds, the 'play' button goes back to normal. If I select Proton-5.10, games boot fine. I've tried uninstalling and fully deleting Proton-5.13 followed by reinstalling, but it hasn't helped. I'm eager to try newer and newer proton versions, and I'm guessing this isn't a widespread issue. How could it be, Proton-5.13 doesn't boot a single game. Surely Valve would be aware if it were that bad. That leads me to believe it's local to my system. It got corrupted on my system (though that wouldn't explain why an uninstall/reinstall wouldn't have have fixed it.
Has anyone else encountered this? Any ideas?

5.13 uses the new containerisation system - Soldier. Liam's written some things about it. That containerisation can cause problems for some people's configurations.

interesting. I'll take a read.
In case it matters, I'm running Steam through flatpak on Arch Linux

AFAIK, Soldier doesn't work at all in a Flatpak: it's a container in a container. It's something they're looking at for the future. There's a proton-experimental that has fixes for some of the things, but it's not something I've tried personally. Heck, I haven't tried the normal 5.13 personally yet.
Looks like there's some progress on getting it working with Flatpak again:

This is helpful. Thanks.
Flatpak is amazing for Steam, and means I don't need the bajillion 32-bit packages. I think overall I'm happy with the tradeoff, at least right now.

I don't have steam flatpak, but I have the same problem, it used to work at some point.... Soldier runtime it's still very unstable I hit several bugs, one was new Proton not working if gtk-nocsd (gtk no client side decoration) is installed and then Proton not working also if you have installed the OpenCL component of the amdgpu pro driver (I use the openCL propietary part of the AMD driver for some programs like Darktable and Blender). Now again it's started not working again, afaik the problem is that Soldier Runtime expects a "pure" debian-like setup without any ppa's packages or any other none standard configuration. I use a lot of ppas, so hard to say what the problem is. For now Proton GE 5.21 works just fine for me.
