not sure what's up with that game, but looking at protondb it doesn't look promising

The error you're getting is actually different from mine
The texture size one should be resolved by switching to Wine-Staging, deleting your Wineprefix, then enabling Virtual Desktop in

I've figured it out by using gamescope and upscaling this game from FullHD to 1440p
now its working
try run this through gamescope
What were the exact setting you used? Mind sharing a game log now that it's working?

I've just set gamescope and upscaling from 1920x1080 to 1560x1440
maybe it's a Wayland issue?
