I tried two games, Final Fantasy V Pixel Remaster and Torchlight.

Trying to launch the games results in them immediately closing before a window is created. I launched with PROTON_LOG=1 but the logs only contain an info header. How can I get more information?

Hello @jarruda, header only logs hint that Proton encountered an issue before it got a chance to run the actual game executable. It might be interesting to completely close steam, then run steam from a terminal and see if there's a hint in the stdout/stderr terminal spew.

Here's the log from doing that, starting from launching the game: https://gist.github.com/jarruda/304b2d88c28eb0f23626bcb5e9a31629

I think these are the relevant lines:

Thanks for checking. You've encountered https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-runtime/issues/420. The NVIDIA 390 driver series is older than the support cutoff of Proton. Please update your video driver.

NVIDIA's Kepler generation laptop parts were left in an awkward spot where support for the laptop variant of the generation ended with the 418 series driver, but there's been users who have had success using up to the 470 series since support for the desktop variants were kept until then.
