HUE game not starting after changing to windowed mode

Your system information

• Steam client version (build number or date): May 15 2020
• Distribution (e.g. Ubuntu): Ubuntu 20.04
• Opted into Steam client beta?: No
• Have you checked for system updates?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

I purchased HUE game, correctly configured playstation3 Game controller and enjoyed the game using it. I decided to change the game from fullscreen mode to windowed mode. The window was minimal and unresizable so I decided to stop the game from steam client button. When I tried to start the game again it was unsuccessful. There was no game at all. The button went back to START.

I found I can start the game by forcing proton mode (I never had to configure such thing before). The game starts, but I can't use the game controller anymore.

I tried to uninstall and install again the whole client and game from scratch. But the game is not starting until I force proton mode in the game settings panel and I still can't use the game controller for this game.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

1. Buy HUE game
2. Change from full screen to windowed mode (an unmanageable window appears)
3. Stop the game from Steam Client
4. Try and start the game again

Expected: The game starts with the last configured windowed mode. Actual: The game does not start at all.

Hello @pabloalgarlena, you'll want to also bring this issue to the game dev(s) attention.

As a side note, some forum posts hint that this game stores its config in ~/.config/unity3d/Fiddlesticks/Hue/prefs, for testing, you should be able to change between fullscreen and windowed in there..
