Launching the game directly after installation without any tinkering or compatibilty modes is successful. However after we get into the game it gets stuck on an infinite loading screen. Clicking randomly with the mouse on the screen does trigger sound effects as if I am clicking invisible buttins, so maybe the menu is somehow rendered underneath the loading screen regardless of the loading screen not disappearing. I managed to fix this by going to the game's properties in steam and forcing it to use Proton Experimental from the Compatibility menu.
