Try with Wine-GE-Proton instead of proton experimental, it doesn't really share anything useful in the logs

The game doesn't start even with the latest version of Wine-GE Proton

Turn that off, use wine, delete the prefix directory, run the game, post a new log

game works just fine with wine-ge-proton, deleted the prefix folder aswell xd

yes, when you change from wine to proton or from proton to wine it is recommended to delete the prefix š
