[Linux Mint] EU4 crashing from launcher

[Manaaan]

Since the latest major release 1.34, I have issues starting the game on my machine.

I open the launcher from Steam running with these flags --no-sandbox --disable-gpu "$@", so I can see the launcher. When I click on Play, the launcher disappears, music starts playing in the back and a crash r e p o r t window pops up.

Following measures have I tried to resolve the issue:

• Reinstalling completely as described in a previous post (except for the Windows Defender part)
• Forcing reinstall of the launcher by removing the local files (~/.paradoxlauncher, ~/.local/share/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2, ~/.local/share/Paradox Interactive/launcherpath)
• Removing my custom flags
• Starting directly from executable ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Europa Universalis IV/eu4 file, which actually starts the game, but without any DLCs activated and wrong borderless mode
• Installed latest proprietary NVIDIA drivers (515)

Attached the zipped crash r e p o r t files.

Please provide me help to solve this issue on my machine. Looking forward to test out the new DLC.

Below I'll add my machine specs.
Whole other issue maybe, but it's weird that you can't use certain words, but don't get informed which words are invalid in this support thread. I tried to figure it out and edited this post 10 times, to understand that "r e p o r t" is supposedly an invalid word, which I wouldn't have thought in this context.

You could try to set multi_sampling=0 in the settings.txt. Does this help?

You, good sir/madam, are a true saviour. That small fix, actually made it start for me normally.

There is some problem with borderless, but it's fine in full screen.

Thank you very much for your help @grotaclas

Are you using wayland? In the past this problem only happened for wayland users.

Nope, not knowingly at least. Is there a way to check that?

You can try the following console command:

echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE

If it outputs "wayland", you are using wayland, but I'm not 100% sure if a different output always means that you are not using wayland.

Responds with x11, which seems to not be wayland, from my very limited knowledge and search engine results.
