I would start by checking your graphics driver.

"graphics-details" : {
"x11/vulkan" : {
"renderer" : null,
"version" : null,
"issues" : [
"cannot-load",
"timeout",
"cannot-draw"
],
"exit-status" : 124,
"devices" : [
]
},

From your Steam Runtime Info Log.

Also:

sh: 1: /media/xetcst/Steam/Steam/steamapps/common/SteamLinuxRuntime_soldier/_v2-entry-point: Permission denied

I'm not sure whether this is related to your issue or not.

OK, have checked - from the information (nvidia-smi, vulkaninfo) I could see everything was rated ok. I have now reinstalled NVIDIA-drivers, vulkan libraries and X11. The error message regarding acces I can not judge. The directory and files had every access right for users (read,write,execute).

But now the good news, everything works again - Thank You ! I never would have suspected the drivers as reason since any other program works. By the way, your support has directed me to Github - I always thought it could not be a general Proton problem since it works on my other two computers - also with Linux and Nvidia cards. But again: BIG THANK YOU !
