To add as another data point for this problem I installed XCOM 2 on my desktop running Manjaro and was unable to reproduce the described problem so it is somehow specific to the steam deck in my own findings.
As a side note on the steam deck when starting the game the 2K launcher does not appear and somehow boots directly into the game. However on my desktop the 2K Launcher does appear on the first start of the game and any subsequent attempts to start the game fails. I have attached two proton logs. One for the first start of the game where I was able to get into the game and load a mission. The second proton log for a failed start due to something with the 2K Launcher (I assume). steam-268500(first-start).log steam-268500(failed-start).log
As a side note (to the side note) if I start the game directly, with XCom2.exe under Binaries/Win64 of the game directory thus bypassing the 2K launcher, the game runs without issue.
If I should open a separate issue for the launcher problem let me know.
I have provided my desktop system information below and attached a system-info dump from steam.
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/399#issuecomment-1238884568 I'm having the same issue as SeongGino mentions in the above link (and probably the same as Zadeis mentions), first time the launcher works just fine but on the next attemps it will crash. This happens with Mafia Definitive Edition and with Xcom 2 too. here's my proton log (this is from XCOM 2) (file too big for github, sorry) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gcD1NwAC1alVGpMtcQJTl4Rq3JlM9N4_/view?usp=sharing
When in a mission any operative/solider is unable to move. The movement area limit on the ground also does not appear.
I have the same problem
Other people report this problem on ProtonDB https://www.protondb.com/app/268500 (IDK why this game got Playable
rating)

I observe a similar behavior on proton-7.0-5-rc4 . On the first start the Launcher does appear and lets me start the game. On subsequent attempts the launcher window shows for a short moment
Then the launcher hides. In steam the game shows up as "Running", but the launcher never shows up again. In the end I had to stop the game. Starting the game directly without the launcher works but shows some development menus. Here is the log from the hanging launcher. steam-268500.log
Hello,
System:
Bought the game recently and I am sort of liking the game. But it won't start anymore and behaved yesterday very weird.
To not confuse, from the start:
Worked perfectly and I was able to play this game for nearly 2 weeks
Today I have a non working game. Neither Windows nor native version want to work and I don't get any error messages. Any ideas what to do? Asked the Steam Support for help, but they just told me to ask here for help. steam-268500.log
To update this thread:
While I have built and started using a new system the current latest proton release (8.0-2) currently does not exhibit any of the problems previously described.
The game is able to start, get to the main menu, load a save or start a new game and the operatives are able to be commanded without issue.
However there is a new (minor) issue. When attempting to start the game for the first time the game is set to start the launcher patcher which runs, looks to update the 2k launcher, the updater closes to launch the updated launcher then looks to get stuck at a screen that says "Missing games in your library? Launch the game from the platform it was installed on." Upon closing this window and relaunching the game it runs with out issue. Not sure if that is a proton problem or a 2K Launcher problem.
When in a mission any operative/solider is unable to move
I still have this issue. Tested with Proton 8.0-2 from steam

What are your system specs? Just curious since the system I had this problem on had a intel i7-5820k which, while not old by many standards, and I think older CPUs may not be playing nice with proton. Unfortunately I don't have access to my old system to confirm that.
I have tested on a steam deck, my main desktop which has a 7950x3d and a 2080ti, and my laptop with a GTX 1650 and an intel i7-9750H. All three systems do not exhibit this issue using proton 8.0-2.
@Zadeis
I have a new laptop ROG Flow x13 GV301
AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS
Shot in the dark, try running it with
PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=0 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 %command%
as the launch option.
I also assume you are forcing the game to run on your 3080 and not whatever integrated gpu that laptop comes with?
For me, the solution that worked was to install MS Visual C++ 2013 on the prefix using winetricks. Perhaps that will solve your problem? I don't know if there's such a way that that workaround can be included in Proton by default when running XCOM 2.
Unluckily, fix from @Zadeis did not help me. (Sorry, I forgot to respond earlier)

@TechnoPorg
Thank you for sharing this fix.
Installing this package solved all of my problems with this game.
Hi,
When I launch XCOM 2 it opens the 2K launcher, but when I try to go to mod manager it opens a new window, and it keeps just running the loading signal but nothing happens. Everything else seems normal.
Ubuntu 24.04, gfx AMD 6700, MESA drivers.

Registered here to say how much I love you: after 3 hours of searching and different variations, this option solved my problem with the cursor, THANK YOU.
