The issue appears to be a regression, as Proton 9.0-4 behaves as expected; no more flickering objects or transparent walls as you can see below

Reproduction

Just enable Proton 10.0-1 (Experimental as of 2025-05-23) on Contraband Police, issues are noticeable right from the Tutorial.

Note that although the game's Proton status is currently unsupported, the game is playable, supports controllers and the developers are working on Steam Deck verification :)

For reference, here’s a link to the Steam discussion where another Proton user, this time not using a Steam Deck but running Linux Mint, reports having the same issue, which led me to suspect a possible regression.

@class101 Hi there and thank you for the report. Are you able to verify that this works fine again on Proton Bleeding Edge?

Hello @Blisto91, I can confirm that when I select bleeding-edge under the Proton Experimental beta, the issue disappears and the graphics look amazing, even better than with Proton 9.0-4. I wasn’t aware of this branch, thanks a lot for the tip!

I believe this means the issue wasn’t actually with Proton itself and will likely be resolved automatically when its dependencies are updated but let me know if any additional information is necessary.
