Launching the GOG version of the game immediately fails for some reason regardless of which version of Proton is used. Vanilla Wine gets farther than that (to the main menu), but freezes on the first loading screen when starting a new save game.
That said, the GOG version is basically unplayable (although I'm not sure if there's a trick that can be done with Proton to bypass the launch issue). Setting a
native, builtin override for Galaxy.dll doesn't seem to fix it either.
It's weird that this game would have trouble though given that the Steam version, according to ProtonDB, works fine.3 Replies

Galaxy.dll, as in GOG Galaxy?magic-amber•3mo ago
yea, its an SDK client binary
it's next to sherlock.exe in the directory structure...
log generated together with
PROTON_LOG=+loaddll would be helpful
