Thanks for the response-- unfortunately all of these suggestions produced the same result: The only visual I see is that the Vulcan shaders are created. The music then starts up as if the game is running, but the main menu never appears. Same story when I run the native Linux version. Is there a log file that might be helpful?

I played ARK Survival Evolved for many months on a Linux system. Earlier this year, when I upgraded to Ubuntu 22.04, the game stopped working. I tried a fresh install of the recently released 22.10, and the game still doesn't run, while other Proton games do. When launched, I hear the theme music but the main game menu never appears. There are no error messages, and it never stops playing the audio. I have tried every version of Proton with no luck, although some early versions do produce error dialogs. I have also tried every launch option (low memory, reduced graphics, etc). Lastly, I have tried using the steam client directly from steampowered as described above, but still no luck. The game files pass validation checks just fine, and it lives on an ext4 file system. The hardware is 64 x AMD Ryzen Threadripper 32 Core processor, 128GB of RAM, MSI 399 Creation motherboard, and dual NVidia 2080TI cards. Happy to provide whatever diagnostics would be of interest.
