The Witcher 3 is not loading textures (and sound)

I just installed The Witcher 3 on my steam-deck's SD card and I'm launching it using Wine-GE-Proton8-26but whenever I log into the game, there is a huge issue with texture and sound loading (see picture). Interestingly enough, this issue is not happening on the title screen page where both sound and image are ok. I tried using other Proton versions, running with the DX11 launch option and I used the Verify and repair tool but none of this changed anything. Here is the log file.

Most of that log says something like
Failed to load texture [salix_bark_detail.dds]; using fallback
Failed to load texture [salix_bark_detail.dds]; using fallback
all the way down Try verifying files

As I mentioned in my above message, I already run the Verify and repair tool but it didn't change the outcome : still have the same issue :/

Ok thx a lot for your messages ! I'll see how it goes tomorrow then 😉 Hey ! Just wanted to update you about my situation and by updating the launcher to 3.12.1 it seems to work, though the game lags a lot but I guess this is just a matter of finding the right settings 🙂
