I confirm:

  • [x] that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
  • [x] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.
  • [x] It's not a problem with the mods, since the game runs normally when I run them with older versions of Proton.

Symptoms

Mod Organizer 2 won't open the game after installing mods with their respective WINEDLLOVERRIDES, where as it previously opened normally.

Reproduction

Install Cyberpunk in /mnt/ssd/Games/MO2 Cyberpunk 2077.
Set up steam runtime with: Proton Experimental
set the launch configurations: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="winmm=n,b;version=n,b;audioware=n,b;ArchiveXL=n,b;TweakXL=n,b;Codeware=n,b;mod_settings=n,b;input_loader=n,b" %command% (These are the mod DLLs that I had always used until now, when they started failing in new Proton updates.)
Launch via ModOrganizer.exe in steam and then launch the game inside Mod Organizer 2.

Clarifications
It's not a problem with the mods, since the game runs normally when I run them with older versions of Proton. However, when I noticed this started happening, I decided to report it so it doesn't become a recurring issue with Proton. This is my first time reporting a problem, so I hope you understand and can fix it. Thank you.

Hello @Narcrop, we're using one issue report per unofficially supported game title. Also, we're tracking issues with game mods with the game that's being modified, so I've gone ahead and transferred this issue report to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/4450#issuecomment-3910735854
