Symptoms

Tokyo Xanadu eX+ has been working great for some time now. Proton 4.X has been working with no issues until recently when 4.2-4 was released. Now the game flickers a black screen on and off. Now if you have an extra wide monitor it uses a still image to fill in the gap and the still image doesn't flicker, the HUD of the game doesn't flicker, only the game play portion flickers.

Reproduction

upgrade from proton 4.2-3 to 4.2-4 and the game stops being playable.
