MESA_VK_WSI_PRESENT_MODE=fifo vblank_mode=3 PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%
Ever since the update to v1.2.120, when the developers switched from Unity 5 to Unity 2017, the game requires custom start options.
PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 is needed for the game to start, without it nothing will happen when you try to start the game in Steam.
MESA_VK_WSI_PRESENT_MODE=fifo vblank_mode=3 is needed to be able to alt+tab out of the game. Without these, the game crashes when attempt to alt+tab.
Text in menu is not visible
Tried pretty much everything but the text is not visible, it's as if the textures aren't loading.
On my Steam Deck the game works just fine. Not on my desktop though, that's a whole different story.
I tried all versions going back to Proton 3.x up to the latest Proton Experimental and ProtonGE. I also attemted using GalliumNine and WineD3D but no matter what, the text in the main menu is not visible. It shows for about 1-2 seconds and then disappears.
Not sure what causes this as the game runs fine on my Steam Deck. I did also try different configurations of the game, vsync on/off, hardware mouse on/off, anisotropic filtering, msaa etc etc. No change.
Only game that crashes my computer completely
As soon as I start a new game and leave the main menu, everything crashes. Only thing I can do is reboot the computer.
bash -c 'exec "${@/2KLauncher\/LauncherPatcher.exe/Binaries\/Win64\/xcom.exe}" -allowconsole -autodebug' -- %command%
No different than running the game in native Windows

Works 100% after adding a custom %command% to bypass the 2K Launcher: bash -c 'exec "${@/2KLauncher/LauncherPatcher.exe/Binaries/Win64/xcom.exe}" -allowconsole -autodebug' -- %command%
