The game launcher starts but when I click on play, whole screen goes black and nothing happens. System becomes unresponsive and I need to hard reset it.

Yeah that's what's baffling me. I'm even thinking of switching to Mint or Fedora lol

    I don't think that's a solution, unless one of these installs out of the box some other version of a driver or module. And all three are rather using older versions. Maybe Mint could be a little bit more up to date.

    I would propose: execute steam with PRESSURE_VESSEL_SHELL=instead (PRESSURE_VESSEL_SHELL=instead steam in a terminal or launcher where you type what to execute) and once you have xterm run the game with "$@" > $HOME/tmp/sniper.log 2>&1. That will redirect the output from the process to the file which you can use after reboot to search what is the problem you are having. If there's not much inside, retry with export WINEDEBUG=+all; "$@" > > $HOME/tmp/sniper.log 2>&1. The latter will run very, very slowly but should print debug of everything that happens in proton
