Hello @als-creator, Proton requires a spec-compliant Vulkan driver, and Proton Hotfix needs Vulkan 1.3. The video drivers for your Haswell generation iGPU is experimental and incomplete, leading to

info:  Found device: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600 (HSW GT2) ( 0.0.0)
info:    Skipping: Device does not support Vulkan 1.3
warn:  DXVK: No adapters found. Please check your device filter settings
warn:  and Vulkan drivers. A Vulkan 1.3 capable setup is required.

in your Proton log.

Sorry, but your GPU is not supportable going forward.

I understand that to run games via proton you need a more recent video card, then even old native games don’t run, I try shadowrun and it doesn’t work either, shouldn’t native games work too?

Issues with Linux native games should be evaluated separately an reported to the game's dev(s).

I achieved that with the version of Proton 7, games are launched with different launch parameters, both native and games for Windows, but in all games artifacts appear, textures flicker, is it possible to somehow get rid of this? I tried different launch options
PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1
DXVK_HUD=0%command%
PROTON_NO_D3D11=1
PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 DXVK_HUD=0%command%
LD_PRELOAD= %command% -force-gfx-direct -windowed -noborder
-force-glcore -windowed -noborder
-force-gfx-direct
MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=iris %command%
LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE=0%command%
MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=4.5%command%

The agent says that for the native Shadowrun (Returns/Dragonfall/Hong Kong) on Intel HD 4600 on Steam, the problem is not with Proton (a Linux-native Unity game with OpenGL), but with the old hardware - HD 4600 (Haswell) has incomplete support for OpenGL 4.4+ (the game requires 3.3, but Mesa sometimes bugs with the render, causing a black screen or crash without obvious errors in the logs). Is it possible to fix at least this kind of native games with any launch parameters? I'm only interested in https://store.steampowered.com/app/3170/Kings_Bounty_Armored_Princess/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/300550/Shadowrun_Dragonfall__Directors_Cut/ Now they both work, but with gapgy textures.
