Description:
I am running Lego Harry Potter (Steam version) on a Linux Mint system using the latest Proton release from Steam.
The game launches, but the graphics flicker in bright colors (green/pink/orange), making it unplayable.
This happens right after starting the game and continues during gameplay.

I suspect the issue might be related to DirectX compatibility, as the problem persists when using the default Proton settings.

System Information:

OS: Linux Mint (latest updates installed)

Proton version: Latest stable

GPU: Unknown

Driver version: Unknown

Kernel version: Unknown

What I have tried:

Tested in fullscreen and windowed mode (still flickers)

Tried with latest Proton version available in Steam

Reproduction steps:

  1. Launch Lego Harry Potter in Steam with Proton (latest version)

  2. Start a new game or load a save

  3. Observe immediate color flickering on screen

Hello @Talisman030, we're using one issue report per unofficially supported game title, so I've gone ahead and transferred this issue report to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/1920.
