Proton from steam and newer GE versions wont work

the game simply WILL NOT WORK with the newer proton versions, both official and GE versions, it will however work with Proton-6.8-GE-2, this version however will not show up in the ProtonUp-Qt application, you need to download the .tar.gz directly from github here:
https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases/tag/6.8-GE-2
and then extract the contents of the file in this directory:
/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d/
then on steam, go to game properties > compatibility > force a specific proton version and pick Proton-6.8-GE-2
the game should work after that

In my environment, the Proton version had to be lower than 5.13-6 to start. However, after starting it up, I was able to play comfortably. The Proton version can be found in the compatibility tag in the game properties, so please refer to it.
On this selected Proton-GE version the game runs perfectly, but on other GE versions and the default proton the game crashes console.
Limit framerate to 60
Text is small but readable
Ocassional stuttering
Game does not work on default settings
the game has stopped worked for me, first Proton 5.13-6 failed, now Proton-6.1-GE-2 does too
when i try to load a save or start a new game, it just keeps loading forever
Like others have said, it only launches if you specifically use Proton-6.1-GE-2. It works perfectly after doing that though.
Proton-6.1-GE-2 is the way to go, won't launch without it
the excellent artstyle is crunched a bit on the small screen
use Proton-6.1-GE-2, for some reason 5.13-6 isnt working for me anymore, yet another unsolved proton mystery for me
just switch to Proton 5.13-6 and it runs without a single problem, the only downside of playing on the deck is that the great artstyle is shrunk a bit too much, cant be helped, otherwise it plays perfectly
Game plays perfectly only with Proton-6.1-GE-2. Newer versions of either GE or vanilla Proton cause memory leaks and game does not launch.
Won't work on any version of proton aside from proton-6.1-GE-2.
Doesn't launch at all in newer versions
Might need to add mouse to trackpad to get game to recognize input, but afterward controller inputs will work normally.
PROTON_LOG=1 %command%
Will not launch without tinkering
Any other versions of vanilla or experimental Proton, as well as Glorious Eggroll, won't launch the game. Proton experimental even crashed my computer, by quickly filling up all the RAM.

Tried some other proton version to no avail.
Games installed dependencies, then nothing for a while. It takes up to like 10Gb, CPU ramps up to 80%, then crashes...

doesn't work with latest proton
tried disabling esync, but did not help. clicking play changes the icon to playing, but it never starts and then goes back to play after a minute or two

The game ran great, but only using exactly proton-6.1-GE-2. Using any other version (5.13, 6.3, 6.18-GE) caused the game to never start.
Proton-6.1-GE-2 GloriousEggroll
Proton-6.1-GE-2
Game will hang for about 30 seconds sometime after starting (either in menu or during the game), but works fine after that.
This game runs really smoothly. I'm even playing with controller! I clicked install, play, and it just worked.
Loading in between levels, where the tips and trick are, it is slightly laggy. Other than that, it runs really well everywhere else.

6.1-GE-2 GloriousEggroll

Won't even start.
Game won't even launch, no matter what I use (Steam or Lutris). Tried every suggestion in this page along with several versions of proton (GE and regular).

No window, just closes after a short while
Any Proton setting I tried did not get the game to run. Trying other versions of Proton only yielded worse results.

Cannot run the game.
When Play is pressed it loads for a couple of seconds than the Play button is visible again. Tried with Proton 5.13-1. Tried all the tricks in the previous commens.
To start it, I add to use this startup option PROTON_LOG=1 %command% and use Proton 5.13-1

Launch option: PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command%
Loading screens seem somewhat sluggish, but gameplay is unaffected.
