I'd like to suggest to change the default proton version used in the already whitelisted Castle Crashers Game
While the default option already works out of the box, I have experienced some issues with audio crackling while playing. This can be fix by change the default proton to a higher version (3.16+) which fix the problem with the audio (due to Faudio improvements I believe).
While it's not hard to change manually, this might be a problem to users who don't know how to do this to fix it.
Hi, I just wanted to add my support for this request to update the whitelisted version.
There was a recent update to Castle Crashers - https://steamdb.info/patchnotes/4355158/
And, now the whitelisted version of Proton 3.7-8, is no longer able to start the game.
You receive a popup saying "Steam failed to initialize."
To play you need to override the whitelisted version with Proton 4.11-9(or 4.11-8 a few days ago).
I generated 2 logs, one broken & one working.
Broken with Whitelisted Proton: https://gist.github.com/MysticTempest/a756f8b3d0fe9f5471ee65e3bb191a68
Working with the Override: https://gist.github.com/MysticTempest/ec6cf843a4e1c3089430cb5f6d11319f
In the broken log, I found this (Line 3514):
71138.134:0008:0009:err:steamclient:create_win_interface Don't recognize interface name: SteamClient019
@kisak-valve, I noticed this matches some of your comments with the same issue in another game.

And, lines up with the Proton 4.11-9 override fixing this issue with Castle Crashers not starting.
So I agree; updating the whitelisted Proton version would be welcome.
Definitely needs to have white listed proton version changed. I noted the problem in the press release comments for the new version of Castle Crashers (they updated to 64 bit for Mac compliance and I guess updated Windows version at the same time). They responded, puzzled at the fact that they never released a Linux version. :-)
Hello, this game has been bumped to Proton 4.11 in the 2020-03-10 whitelist update.
