Symptoms

Can't play multiplayer since the game's Cross Play Update last month. The older release version of Proton, 4.11-13, doesn't seem to have this issue.
Note that I can still connect to the game's "discovery services", ie the server that lets players log and see each other's discovered planets, bases, etc, just fine. I believe that's a whole separate kind of network access.

Reproduction

  1. Launch the latest version of the game (2.60) with Proton 5.0-9.
  2. Load a savegame.
  3. Enter the options menu, and select the "network" section.
  4. Observe: a box pops up that says "No connection to matchmaking services".
  5. Quit the game and set it to run using Proton 4.11-13 instead.
  6. Relaunch the game, load a save and enter the same options menu.
  7. Observe: networking error doesn't occur as before.

Expected behavior: Multiplayer works with all versions of Proton.
