I think python 3 is now a requirement? Would be nice if they documented it.

Are your games on your Linux partition or an NTFS partition? Did you turn on logging in Proton?

@UVClay they're on linux partition

Do you have Python 3 installed? I didn't. Installed it, and my games run again. (I was also getting a message in the console that python 3 wasn't found.) Give it a try? If your distro is still on python 2, there are usually packages that can be installed alongside your system one.
