I installed steam but when I try to launch a game on Steam in Linux Mint, it starts to launch but then nothing happens. The game doesn’t even open , and there’s no error message—it just seems like it fails to start.

did you go on the game in your library thon properties -> compatibility and you activate «force the use of a specific steam play compatibility tool and take proton experimental as it is the one that works best for me

Ok, go to the game's properties and set launch options to
PROTON_LOG=1 %command%
start the game, let it crash / close, then go to your home folder, do you see steam log file there?
