X-Plane 11 is listed as native Linux game. It should not even need a Windows compatibilty layer (i.e. Proton) to run. I’m not sure why steam downloaded the Windows version. In Steam, open the game properties and try to get it to download the Linux version.
Baulders Gate om Steam Deck should run smooth enough based on other Steam Deck users on Protondb. Idk, update your drivers and maybe change the proton version you are running?
If that doesn’t work, you could also try installing additional versions of Proton (Glorious Eggroll usually contains fixes that in my experience, just work). You should be able to install them from the Discover store. For that I recommend ProtonPlus if you don’t already have that installed.
And no apology necessary! Gaming on Linux can be frustrating at times. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a game of mine struggle to run, but before Valve released proton it was a massive headache.
Steam on vanilla Steam Deck. The screenshots are from X-Plane 11 and Tryp: FPV. Some other games (Baldur’s Gate 3) also sometimes randomly crash.
I know, I should go complain to Valve. Sorry, just wanted to post my cool screenshot collection.
Sounds like a problem with the devs. Check ProtonDB to make sure.

Oh, cool. It’s possible it’s just the version of proton it’s defaulting to if multiple games are crashing.
For X-Plane 11 I would look at what’s listed here on Protondb for a potential fix. More that likely you’ll find the answer you need there.

Hope that helps get your game running!
Thanks, will try that!
