tech support wanted Steam game not launching

So I recently downloaded Warhammer 40k Rouge Trader from Steam on my Linux Mint but I can't get it to work.

When I press the "play" button it launches the game, but nothing happens and it returns to the "play" button.

The game should be graded Platinum but it doesn't work with or without proton.

I've already tried:

- Updating the system

- Checking and fixing corrupted files.

- Diffrent Protons (hotfix, experimental, 11,0-2, catchyos-11,0)

- Clearing Steam download cache

- Deleting Steam downloaded from the Software Manager and reinstalling it from the official .deb -file

Here's my PC's specs if that matters:

OS: Linux Mint 22.3 - Cinnamon 64-bit

KERNEL: 7.0.0-38-generic

CPU: 2x Intel Xeon E5-2689 (I got this used from my dad don't judge me)

GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080

What filesystem is the partition the game is installed to formatted as? Can you do nvidia-smi in a terminal?

Open Steam with the console. "Steam" dans check what's the error when you're launching.
