Apparently the DRM from this game together with other digital locks and restrictions are being moved to Flatout 3: Chaos & Destruction [External Link]. A selfless act by the developer to spare people the suffering of playing, or even launching, that game.

Proton 9.0 now in Beta with improved game compatibility for Steam Deck / Linux

Probably missing the necessary Wayland libs in the steam-runtime container.
