When I upgraded my SSD in my old 64gb model to just a 256gb, I had to reinstall all my games from scratch, including D4. Nothing would work otherwise that I had on my old SD card. After that I had no problems. When I get back from a concert this evening I can look and see what version of proton my D4 is running so that I can say with certainty that it is working and let you know
The obvious answer, for true fear, is to either run TempleOS or Red Star
