The exact same issue, here is my post on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/cachyos/comments/1i5nn9o/ea_app_installation_failure_on_protoncachyos/

It just gives this error.

Try with https://github.com/CachyOS/proton-cachyos/releases/tag/cachyos-9.0-20250117-slr, see if it's already fixed.

Is it in repository? I ran pacman -syu but got no update for proton
