I can see launcher and hit play but then nothing happens, It just stays on launcher. I tried --skip-launcher option and other Proton versions but none of them have worked. I'm on amd gpu and Proton-GE sometimes throws and error of "failed to collect displays" message, any idea?

SOLVED:

apparently sway was the problem and fixed it with below startup command

echo env --unset=SDL_VIDEODRIVER mangohud "%command%

As a sway user, thank you for coming back and posting the solution. ProtonDB is great but not many sway users there and we sometimes run into more unique problems than users running with an actual DE do.

Did it fix it for you?
