Yeah I figured the lib files were meant to be different. Followed the instructions of Proton-GE and tried to launch with no results again.
However thanks for the recommendation of Proton-GE! It's making my other proton games (Prey, Halo MCC) run noticeably smoother.

Proton logging isn't going to give us anything useful, but it might be easier to get more coherent messages from Steam if you start it so it will redirect all its output, stdout and stderr to a text file.
I don't know how you start Steam, I point whatever menu or panel shortcut to a wrapper script I made for it. Set a few variables and ultimately start steam.sh. I normally just direct it to /dev/null because I don't want its noise but I change it to a file if I think I need to see something.
The business end of that is:
/path/to/steam/steam.sh > /home/yourname/filename.log 2>&1
I'm glad to hear Proton-GE has helped you. I'm just starting to play Prey myself, enjoying it so far. I like having to figure out the traversal :-)
Thank you for your help so far but I think this has gone beyond my technical capabilities. So short of just having someone try to help remotely I think I will just give up on trying to get Payday work on Proton. I'll put it on my Windows dual boot if I need.
Again I appreciate all the help so far.
