0.17.10.0 No Workshop Models on Linux

No workshop models will load while playing Tower on Linux through Proton. All versions of Proton, including ProtonGE, do not resolve this problem. As a result I am playing with just transparent default models.

This also applies to workshop items in condos, which will also not load. At the bottom of my screen I will see the steam workshop logo UI load forever.

My PC specs are at the bottom, along with an attached screenshot.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install Tower Unite on Arch Linux
  2. Force compatability by selecting a Proton version
  3. Log into any populated server or condo, you will not see any workshop models load

What I expected to happen

I expected to see other people’s workshop models or items.

What happened

No workshop models or items will ever load.
