The observed behavior in third party Proton version 6.0-GE-1 is now different. The application starts successfully and renders its GUI window, and it's possible to select and customize an avatar. However, the application is unable to read video data from the webcam, and the script that would install the virtual camera device for video output hangs. As such, the program is effectively unusable for its intended purpose (streaming a virtual avatar), even though most of it is working correctly.
This is a gist of the generated ~/steam-1365390.log file (I had apparently left the launch option to generate one in from the last time I tinkered with Animaze on Linux). The file might be too verbose to be useful, though; it's 42 MB and 467k lines long.
I would also like this to work under proton. I am using all the latest version as of today. Still no camera support, but my camera is detected. It works fine under v4l.
same issue as of proton 10 beta and all ge versions

System Information

Symptoms
When attempting to launch Animaze from Steam, Steam fails to complete the first time setup, and consequently, the program never launches. The dialog box will alternate between displaying "Installing: (step 1 of 0)" and "Installing: (step 1 of 5)". Animaze's startup scripts seem to attempt to install virtual device drivers; it seems plausible that this is causing Steam's attempt to launch Animaze to hang.
Note that Steam did not generate a ~/steam-1365390.log file as expected, even with
PROTON_LOG=1 %command%in the launch options for the title. As such, no such file is attached here.Reproduction
This behavior reproduces consistently on attempted launch of the application from Steam. Proton versions tested include 5.13-5, Proton Experimental (as of February 12, 2021), and third party version 6.0-GE-1.
