System Information

I confirm:

  • [x] that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
  • [x] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.

Symptoms

Every game I have tried with Proton so far has instantly crashed with either an error message stating that I don't have proper DirectX drivers, or no error message at all.
For example, Maximum Action will give me this error:
"Failed to initialize graphics.
Make sure you have DirectX 11 installed, have up to date
drivers for your graphics card and have not disabled
3D acceleration in display settings.
InitializeEngineGraphics failed"
and Borderlands 2 will just crash without giving me an error.

Reproduction

Launch any game with Proton.
