The legacy setup only works for Wine, not Proton. Not new Proton versions at least, it may or may not work with an old Proton version. Please tell me what "being unable to use non-legacy wizard" means and I may be able to help you.

I was referring to the "legacy setup" in your previous comment.
The directory /tmp/proton_nojus/run does not exist and does not get created when I run the game through steam with the provided launch options.

Which version of proton are you using?

I see, this env var got removed: ValveSoftware/Proton#7575

In the meanwhile, you can either use Proton 8, or manually put the following script where the setup script excepts it to be:

#!/usr/bin/env bash

__PROTON="/path/to/proton"
__STEAMAPPS="/path/to/steamapps"
__STEAM="${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/Steam"

Thanks, manually setting up the script you gave for Proton 9.0 worked
