I am trying to run AOW4 on Proton 8 but most of the times it fails to launch. If it launches, it gets to the main menu screen (“The main chamber”) but I cannot click on any game options to start a game and I am forced to quit Steam to exit the game. Steam Play is enabled. I have tried other versions of Proton and different launch options found at ProtonDB.
