Does not start (anymore)

Before today, single player worked. Now, as of the latest patch to the game, even that isn't successful no matter what tinkering I've tried.
Attempt to launch the game results in a "Connecting to Rockstar Games Services" status splash screen, which apparently times out and is followed by a "Error: The Rockstar Games Launcher timed out loading both its online and offline content. Please check your connection and try again later. If you continue to have problems, please contact Rockstar Games Customer Service at [website]"
Knowing about the lockups in advance would contribute to SR. Don't queue for comp if you know you're going to take the hit.

After 30-45mins, the game locks up and stopping it from Steam (or Alt+F4 Plasma close) and restarting is the only fix I've so far found.
My only "tinkering" steps disable Xalia, which makes no sense on a KB/Mouse game/PC in the first place. Proton insists on enabling it on gobs of games by default, presumably for their Steam Deck product. Still, a zero custom option launch (in my experience) works just fine otherwise.
Spins up, thinks about it, doesn't start.
Tested (and installed) on default, Experimental, and GE-7.37
