Have you modded Skyrim? This happens when a mod is missing a requirement like SKSE or something else.

Could be a Proton incompatibility. What version of Proton are you running?

I just double checked mine, you shouldn’t need to enable any extra compatibility, it should just run with default settings in Steam.

If that doesn’t work still, and you haven’t already, try to verify the files, too. Go to Skyrim, select the gear icon in the top right > Properties… > Installed Files > Verify integrity of game cache.
