Wine error after splash screens
Game did launch but crashes after the splash screens (before the main menu) and a wine C++ runtime error pops up:
Assertion failed!
Program: Z:\mnt\nvme0n1\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Dragons Dogma 2\DD2.exe File: ../src-wine/dlls/winevulkan/loader_thunks.c Line: 5626
Expression: "!status && "vkLatencySleepNV""
Got it to start at least
PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr VKD3D_FEATURE_LEVEL=12_2 VKD3D_SHADER_MODEL=6_7 %command%
Wine-error vkLatencySleepNV can be avoided if using the launch options and Proton 8.0-5.
Got to the menu, changed some settings like going fullscreen and upping the resolution and started playing. Intro cutscene was very out of sync and I paused the game to try and quit to the menu. The game didn't like that and froze. I had to force end the game and restart it. Changing to fullscreen was a mistake because the game crashes when going into fullscreen automatically on startup. Wanted to revert the changes back manually in the config.ini file and Denuvo was like "nope". I think I can try again tomorrow.
VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_NV_low_latency2 PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=1 %command%
Some story cutscenes run at half speed while the audio plays at full speed when playing higher than 1080p
If you have an NVidia GPU and experience freezes, try PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=1 and if you have graphical issues, disable DLSS in the settings
PYROVEIL=1 %command%
Going from fullscreen -> windowed -> fullscreen causes a blackscreen

The game itself works but plays no audio at all. Visual audio-based decorations don't pulse as well, meaning there is no audio generated.
Minimal jittering
Downloading custom songs works and that music plays; ingame sounds and bundled music (like for the main levels) does not play
After trying a bit more, I figured out that newly downloaded songs (using custom levels) do play. The game sounds and music bundled with the game itself did not play.
Minimal jittering
If you have multiple steam library folders, install GD into the one on the root partition. Then, everything works instantly.
Minor jittering
At first, I installed the game onto a drive other than the main system drive. There, for some reason, the game could not access the default sound files and the game would be silent. Downloaded songs via Custom Levels did work. After uninstalling the game and installing it on the main Steam library (the one Steam automatically created) everything worked flawlessly.
