John Carpenter's Toxic Commando Demo
Still happening in the final game. Tutorial worked fine, but when the game tries to load "Leon's Base" (the hub for in between missions), this pops up:
Happens for me on Cachy and Bazzite, and with any Proton version.
Since nobody else reported this on ProtonDB and there is only one single mention of it on the steam forums, I assume this is somewhat obscure and related to hardware? I'm including my system info as provided by steam.
