ProtonDB | Game Details for PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS

It won't start. Different versions of Proton have been tested.

The game is absolutely broken. When you click the play button, absolutely nothing happens. I tried to run different versions - recommended Proton, GE-Proton9-25, PortProton - there is simply no game window. I don't recommend wasting time on this game.
