Several games installed through Heroic and shortcuts in steam added via BoilR no longer work
These games have been installed on my deck for many months and now that I go to play them again they don't start up. They won't start up via Steam or Heroic.
Here's two examples (2 log files) that I had been playing no more than 2 months ago..

Looking through the Proton code here, this really doesn't seem related to Heroic at all
It essentially has a list of files it should mark as read-only, but (at least) one of those files seems to be missing on your install
Are you able to launch Steam games using Proton Experimental? If you aren't, you might want to try verifying your Proton Experimental installation (in Steam)

Looks like none of the games that had Proton experimental work at all... Is it related as well that I can't install Linux versions as well? For example Butcher was one of the games I had played a couple moths ago, upon seeing I couldn't launch it I went to install it and chose the linux version.. it fails every time. The windows version installs, says it can't find wine and asks if I want to use proton experimental. At which point I say yes and the fail loop with proton experimental begins again.
Looks like none of the games that had Proton experimental work at allWell, that's to be expected. The thing that's failing here will fail regardless of what you tell Proton to do/run
Is it related as well that I can't install Linux versions as wellRather unlikely. To help further there, I'd need a general Heroic log of after you've tried to install anything

It found 5 files bad and redownloaded... Hope this was the cause.. THANK YOU
I'll continue checking with the linux install
