These outputs don't seem to have any fatal issues. Everything is normal when I run the launcher

Is that the command you use to start this game ?
If not, please post the exact command you use.
If yes, where did you get it from and where can documentation for it be found ?

This is the command that Steam automatically generated when I tried to run a game using Steam.

Genshin impact does not appear to be a steam game and lutris doesn't list steam as an option.

What instructions did you follow to setup Genshin Impact ?

First, I found the reason elsewhere, as its recent update included an upgrade to its anti-cheat system.
Second, why use Steam? Because compared to Wine, Proton offers a more convenient gaming experience.

Please describe how you solved the issue so others can benefit from it.

I am truly sorry, but I haven't taken any measures. This is because, after the game's latest official update, it can once again be run directly on Steam using Proton without requiring any additional configurations.
Perhaps I should delete this post as it lacks any substantial content.

I was hoping your reply would add that substance.
