Certain games on steam instantly crash, ignoring(?) launch parameters

Nobody I have spoken to about this can figure out what is going on.

All my packages are up to date, and I have the correct Vulkan drivers. However, when I had issues with Vulkan every game I tried to run had this issue.

Running steam through CLI has this output when launching KSP, almost all of the other games have this exact output excluding PIDs and dirs.

I cannot check proton logs for affected games because as the title states the custom launch options do nothing to the affected games, but work just fine on unaffected games.

I am running Hyprland if at all relevant.
