Hearts of Iron 4 on Wayland doesn't work (self.linux_gaming)

Hi everyone! Yesterday I bought Hearts of Iron 4 on Steam but it didn't run at all on wayland. I tried using Proton Experimental, Proton GE latest, Proton 8.0.2 but none worked (even though on ProtonDB people say it works with proton 8.0.2). Then I switched to Xorg (which I never use and I would like not to), and it suddenly worked... is there a way to play it on Wayland or is it just Xorg?

Using:

  • archlinux (everything updated)
  • mesa latest from the stable repository
  • wine-staging
  • RX 6900XT
  • Gnome 44

Why use proton/wine when the game has a native client that works fine?
Playing it on kde/wayland on arch for a long time now, and both native and windows client through proton work just fine.
