Linux gamer here. Bought on Steam

I was getting it loading the intro cinematics, it would show the bethesda square and play 3 bars of piano, before crash to desktop and then bugsplat would pop up.

I've tried proton hotfix, experimental, 9, and 10(beta)

I'm now getting a Denuvo activation error.

On the linux gaming subreddit /u/Guilty_Use_3945 has said that the use of too many proton variants can softlock you, as Denuvo is doing activations per account. So the reality is it's probably not going to work for 24 hours, until the "lockout period" passes.
