Trainz 22 PE (build 132316) Environment Screen Will Not Load

Just installed and re-ran my edition of Trainz on Linux Mint 22.2 Cinnamon. Once I chose the graphics setting (High) the environment page would never load in when I go full screen, and even when I made some adjustments to the graphics based what I always use, the environment screen just goes white with the black bars that represent the main menu. The music played, but also I can't X out of it and have to force it off through Steam. When I used Windows 10, on occasion the environment loading screen would strobe before loading.

Before anyone says update GPU drivers. They are up to date, and nothing in Linux Mint driver list has any listed in case there was a patch. The GPU is a Gigabyte 6600 RX Eagle (equivalent to the nVidia 2070). This is not a high end computer, it is a bit of a potato given it's age.

No other game I installed has this issue. My guess it's how the environment has a stupid fade in effect that might trip of it's load. No log appear, because it's not generating any runtime errors. I am fully aware that games meant for Windows (though that can play on Linux) is VERY hit or miss (despite what is said online).

In the end if I have to quit playing Trainz for good, well I do have other games that work near flawlessly.
 
I believe this is a Proton issue. None of the ones I have used with the MANGOHUD=1 gamemoderun %command% works at all. I must assume then that Trainz is also borked with Linux Mint 22.2 (WILMA) Cinnamon. I ma not smart enough to troubleshoot this at all. I am no coder!
 
So I have tried the following Proton versions:

Hotfix
Experimental
Beta 10.0-2
9.0-4

None of these work with my versio nof Trainz. So despite what ProtonDB says about this working, for me my version of Trainz is 100% unplayable. I guess I am too damn stupid at my age to figure things out, but after what I went though with losing my Windows 10 drive can you blame me for being this way?

Later all. Hope none of you EVER go through this hell like I have with your games.

Peace
