Hello @Kaleosi, we're using one issue report per unofficially supported game title, and usually I'd transfer this issue report to #4130, however, /home/kaleosi/snap/steam/common/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Hearts of Iron IV/hoi4: error while loading shared libraries: libOpenGL.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory is telling us you're using the Linux native variant of the game is being used, and Proton isn't involved at all. This puts your feedback out of scope for this issue tracker.

Having written that, libOpenGL.so.0 is a less commonly used component of libglvnd (https://packages.ubuntu.com/noble/libopengl0) and it's more likely this is a Steam-in-Snap packaging issue than a game issue.

This issue should be evaluated by the Steam as a Snap package maintainer(s)

Closing as out of scope for the Proton issue tracker.
