Hello @gmankab, the NVIDIA 390 series video driver is older than the support cutoff for Proton and causing you to encounter https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-runtime/issues/420.

There are 3 variants of the NVIDIA GT 730 video card, two of those variants are Kepler generation, one is Fermi generation. You should be able to run lspci | grep VGA in a terminal and if the info there includes something like NVIDIA Corporation GK208 (K in the chipset means Kepler), then you could try using the NVIDIA 470 series video driver, which is the last driver series to support the Kepler generation. If you get something like NVIDIA Corporation GF108 (F in the chipset means Fermi), then the 390 series video driver is the last series video driver for your card.

The Vulkan driver implementation in the 390 series is ancient and can't be supported.
