Having same problem here. Glad I checked this forum out before pulling out the remainder of my hair. Linux Mint. Steam Proton. Luckily my Omega sub was scheduled to resub tomorrow… yeah we’ll just put a hold off on that for a sec.

Thanks for the update man. I was planning to reinstall the EVE because I’ve been trying to use possible compatibility tool out there and it still won’t work. Was even planning to use Lutris. Thanks again.
