You have to make a few modifications, but when it's done the game plays exactly like on Windows!
When I started a game, the loading screen would appear and right before finishing, the game would crash. Some other users here suggested to install winetricks and run this command in the terminal: "WINEPREFIX=${HOME}/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/8800/pfx/ winetricks d3dx9 msxml3 msxml4 vcrun2003 quartz devenum corefonts lucida tahoma"
This installed a few things and took about 5 minutes for me to complete but this fixed my game for me.
When I first started the game right after installation (before making any modifications), the game would refuse to start up. It only showed that small loading window that always pop up when starting the game, but after that it just stops the game.
A lot of people suggest to set the launch options to:
"PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 PROTON_OLD_GL_STRING=1 PROTON_FORCE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE=1 %command%"
BUT this did not work at all.
I was running the game with Proton 5.0-6 at the time and I decided to choose a random old version of Proton to see if it would work. I chose Proton 3.16-9 (for no real reason, just trying things out) and that made my game finally work!
