Hello I normally run perfectly fine with:  
env OBS\_VKCAPTURE=1 PROTON\_USE\_NTSYNC=1 gamemoderun %command%

But when I add like in all my other MMORPG games the:  
PROTON\_ENABLE\_WAYLAND=1  
Then it starts but the launcher is all white, since the launcher is just one of those pesky browsers has anyone installed anything else to make it render with winetricks etc?

I run  
Wayland/Sway  
Steam/Proton  
AMD card

Thanks

Happy Hacking

I’m using PROTON\_ENABLE\_WAYLAND=1 %command% and the game runs fine, including the launcher.

Wayland/Plasma  
Steam  
Nvidia card

Add `--in-process-gpu` to your launch options - it’s a common issue for CEF-based launchers. For Steam, the full thing is `PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 %command% --in-process-gpu`
