I have tried all the workarounds listed here and on the github/proton issue page and none of it works anymore. I've tried using the default proton, experimental, and various ge-proton builds. I have tried deleting/renaming the various file(s), installing dotnet, recreating the prefix dozens of times, and uninstalling the whole game dozens of times. I've tried all that a 100 different ways, in different orders, sometimes with some steps completely left out, etc, and none of it works anymore. It's strange too because the game used to work after simply deleting only the speechsynth dll, using ge-proton, and fumbling my way through the blank login screen, but now after one of the recent updates it crashes before getting past the initial boot screen and sometimes doesn't even get that far. I'm at my wits end with this one.
