Full system information report

No response

Please confirm the following before submitting

• I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
• I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.
• I have verified the issue is present when using Proton-CachyOS-SLR from this repository.
• I haven't encountered this issue using an official Proton release (Proton, Proton Experimental, or Proton Bleeding Edge).

Symptoms

When running the game with PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1, it fails to launch what feels like 90% of the time. It'll start but then won't appear on the task manager or play any audio in the background to indicate it's actually running.

When it does launch successfully it plays normally, no issues. If anything it performs a lot better, around a 30% performance uplift in some scenes.

Steps to reproduce

1. Launch the game with PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1
2. The game won't appear or play audio (unless you get lucky)

Additional context

There's a similar issue in the GE-Proton repo with for Kiwami 3 and Dark ties here. Might suggest this is a game engine or Wayland driver issue.
