You'll want to install physx and d3dcompiler_47 into the prefix. After that the game should run. I wasn't able to get the opening video to play, though.

here is the complete list of dependencies DirectX, MSVC2005, MSVC2005_x64, MSVC2008, MSVC2008_x64, PHYSXLEGACY all are available in __redist folder in game directory. You can use Run Exe in Prefix from game settings to install them

ok, i just did that and now at least something visible happens: a short blackscreen, lol. Could it have something to do with the [S_API] SteamAPI_Init(): SteamAPI_IsSteamRunning() did not locate a running instance of Steam. ?

it's not related add PROTON_LOG=1 environment variable that will make proton dump the log to this /home/deck/.var/app/com.heroicgameslauncher.hgl directory send that log here you can also try installing d3dcompiler_47 like J.King said using winetricks altough I think DirectX redist should bundle it

If it's your first time playing you may want to watch the intro video on YouTube or something. It... doesn't exactly explain a lot, mind you, but it's pretty.

It's not my first time, but I might still do that, since last time playing it was around 10 years ago. Thanks to you two for the help! 🙂

My pleasure. I adore the game, despite its horrible bugs. Have fun!
