The Proton compatibility layer for running Windows games on Steam for Linux has levelled up some more with the latest Proton 5.13-5 now available to everyone.
Pulling in some of the bigger changes from the Proton Experimental testing area, it has some impressive increased compatibility. You will find that Red Dead Online and the online features directly in Red Dead Redemption 2 will now work. This is something we showcased before which you can see below:

Quoting: TcheyHum, i cannot launch any Proton games at all now, even if i change Proton version.
I click Play, and after a couple of seconds, nothing, back to click "Play".
Yesterday, no issue, and no update since then. Weird...
Tried to reboot? Sounds lame but I have had similar problems on a few occasions before and they where all solved by a reboot, not sure why but it did.

I tried to reboot, check for updates, changing some Steam options, forcing other Proton and EggRoll... Nope.
I can play native games,
I can play games via WINE,
but all games via Proton are not running.

Intel Core i5 4590 (4 x 3,3 GHz)
GeForce GTX 1060 @ 6 Go
Nvidia Drivers

I had similar issue some time ago and in my case solution was to remove some files from /home/USER/.steam (I removed files and even whole folders randomly) directory shich forced Steam to "rebuild of pins". After that all worked fine again.

Try deleting steam compatdata data in all of your library locations which for me is:
rm ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/* -rf
rm /ssd1/Programs/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/* -rf
rm /hdd1/Programs/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/*

I didn’t delete anything, but if i manually force Proton 5.0-10 for each game, i can play Proton games.
If i delele compatdata, what data do i loose ? No saved game, preferences, etc ?
