Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Proton 8 (and Experimental) never finishes installing/updating the Wineprefix. It seems to be waiting for some futex.

The process has to be killed which obviously results in nothing good happening.

wine: configuration in L"/home/ken/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton - Experimental/files/share/default_pfx" has been updated.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Change the Proton used to 8 or Experimental.
Run any game that depends on it.

Proton 7 seems fine.

Possibly the same as [#9355](https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/9355)

Given the two horrendous bugs I'm leaving this here to remind me for the future:

When installing a new Windows game I need to manually add an entry ~/.local/share/Steam/config/config.vdf in the form

					"numeric_game_id"
					{
						"name"		"proton_7"
						"config"		""
						"priority"		"250"
					}

And this is not JSON.

Looks okay now. Proton 8, 9 and "Experimental" seem to complete the updates without issue. Will of course shout if it does come back and I was just lucky.
