I just downloaded Dark Souls 3, when I hit "Play", it just stuck on "Launching" forever.

Register DarkSoulsIII.exe as none Steam game and force compatibility mode, it somehow still goes back to launch through official app page and gets stuck again.

Searched online, 2 guys on reddit described the same issue, with Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS and Mint 20.02, while I'm on Fedora 37 KDE.

Weirdest thing, when I hit "Verify Integrity of Game Files", it also gets stuck. It doesn't start nor fail, just infinitely checking something.

Strangely, browsing ProtonDB, I've seen no one had a similar issue. Even someone with exact same Distro had no problem whatsoever.

I don't know what to do now, so I'm asking for help, or just ideas for troubleshooting.
