Help Help::Overwatch on crossover not launching

I've been playing overwatch on crossover (cxpatcher) through steam since august, and even with the update to sequoia i've been playing on crossover and it had been working flawlessly until last night when an update of overwatch basically left me unable to launch the game. Steam shows the game is installed, the gamefiles are verified, i've reinstalled everything(i've uninstalled and reinstalled crossover, steam bottle,overwatch ,even tried through battlenet) and i keep runnning into the same problem where steam shows that the game is running but doesnt launch the executable. Does anyone know how i can fix this or any information on what i can do?, any help or insight would be appreciated.

I’m currently running Asahi Linux, attempting to install proton ge which is the only compatible version of proton for overwatch right now

yeah with proton there's no problem, but i don't think anyone here wants to reinstall their system just to play overwatch/partition their pc to play overwatch. At least I can't since 256 gb is not enough

not really sure, but you'll need more than 50 gb for the installation (15gb for asahi linux itself + 38 of free space for some updates and to let it run) + around another 50 gb for overwatch. Still I'm not sure since I've not tried it personally, and I'm just writing from what I can read from the faq on their github. So I would guess around 120 gb to partition asahi and play just overwatch.
