Hello @NewfolderGames, we're using one issue report per unofficially supported game title, so I've gone ahead and transferred this issue report to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/2476#issuecomment-482982688.

On second thought, the other mentioned games are most likely not using Proton and it is unlikely this is a game-specific issue.

This bug can be produced on Windows, too. This isn't a Proton issue.
