wait let me send the log if there is one nope there isnt this is the only way i can play this game apart from just cracking my steam installation which will be probably be my last resort also if anyone gifted it it would have to be the pcr version because my save file is in the cloud and the "friend" who gave their library to me was russian and i cant buy the pcr version because im in america and i dont have a vpn

then read the Read Me First pinned message in #🆘-support , make sure you wine dependencies and then share a log of the crashing game

hmmm looks like you have a kinda bad GPU, try disabling the DXVK and VKD3D options to see if that makes it work (but will have bad performance) another thing you can try is to use Winetricks to install some older version of DXVK and see if that helps (game settings > winetricks > default prefix > install dll or component > look for older 1.x versions of DXVK and install the latest for example)
