I've been working on playing SkyrimVR on Linux, and at one point had it working, but am now having an issue with running it. More specifically, here's what I've got going on.

I'm running steamtinkerlaunch as my compatibility tool for SkyrimVR. Through it, I am running Mod Organizer, and in Mod Organizer I am launching sksevr_loader.exe. This has worked at least once in the past. I am running SteamVR and turning the controllers on before running SkyrimVR. I'm using proton experimental to run the game. When I launch sksevr_loader.exe, currently, my headset switches from Steam home to the empty grid-zone loading screen with "Next Up" and the SkyrimVR logo displaying. The game loads and gets to the menu, but only displays on my monitor. I can hear audio through my headset, and moving the headset around and interacting with the controllers works as normal, but the headset video is stuck on the "Next Up" loading screen. I can even load my save successfully and get in game, which shows on the monitor, but still just the "Next Up" screen on my headset. Not sure what is going on. Any thoughts on what it could be?

My first thought is that an update to proton experimental broke it, but I'm not sure. Running the game or sksevr_loader.exe directly outside of Mod Organizer leads to it properly displaying in my headset.
