This is kind of intended though, logging should a) not be more complicated than necessary and b) not fuck around with the user's system more than necessary. There's a reason why DXVK doesn't even create log files anymore when running on Proton.
But this is the user specifying that he wants a log path. I don't think it would be bad to create the folder to store the logs if the user so desires.

What would that be?
There's literally no reason at all to do so when we log everything to the regular Proton log, and clobbering game install directories etc with random log files just prevents Steam from properly uninstalling the game.

DXVK_LOG_PATHif the user has permissions to do it. (No need to check for permission, as the OS will do that part.)This request is for Linux. Not sure how to do that on Windows.
