Stuck on "Press any key" with Rocket League via Heroic on Arch

Hi, hopefully this is on topic for here. I'm trying to run Rocket League on Arch via Heroic. I get stuck at the "Press any key" screen - pressing a key makes a sound but doesn't go to the menu. Starting the game offline fixes the issue temporarily, but it comes back when online.

I think this might be due to the game trying to do something like get me to accept the EULA, but it's hard to tell. The logs are opaque and don't seem to show anything wrong, but you can find them here anyway. I thought perhaps it could be an issue with xdg, but e.g. xdg-open "https://google.com" works fine.

Using Proton-GE-10-29, Heroic 2.18.1, uname is

$ uname -a
Linux powerhouse 6.18.6-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sun, 18 Jan 2026 00:34:07 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Anyone else experiencing this issue? Sorry again if not on topic.
