In desktop mode on Steamdeck:
Download VC2015 x64 file from MS website https://www.microsoft.com/en-US/download/details.aspx?id=48145&msockid=26deb87ea5b063ef376aaa19a48862b6
Install vc_redist.x64 - Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update 3 RC
Next step is essential. On the web browser, go to: https://www.dll-files.com/download/e610e2fe9c06682d5a1362d088f6e061/xaudio2_9.dll.html?c=YUFGOGdYNUF6SFl4R2NTaGhKQTlqQT09
The link will download the 64bit file automatically. Open the xaudio2_9.zip file in your download folder. You need to put xaudio2_9.dll into the game folder. Drop the file from the zip folder directly to the game folder.
Once you have completed the above the game will run, you do not need to force proton compatability or type in any launch commands.
Game will not work without completing tinkering steps
Don't have a windows 10-11 install version of the game to attempt swapping the games files.
When I try to start it, a gray window appears and immediately disappears
In my environment, all Proton versions available as of November 2023 do not start.

Was reading the Metal Gear Solid 3 fix when I realized it was the exact same crash this game was doing. Tried combining what had been used in the past here with the MGS3 method and it surprisingly worked.
I checked on the wine github, and apparently it is erroring out in an XAudio2 call. Mentions a movq instruction/ref to xaudio2_9.
PROTON_FORCE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE=1 %command%
Attempted to install VC2015 runtimes, and install faudio.
So, apparently it doesn't matter WHAT Proton version you run, the XAudio2 bug is going to make the game unusable until fixed.

After pressing F11 to switch windowed mode, all input does not work.
protontricks 1018000 -q --force vcrun2015

protontricks 1018000 -q --force vcrun2015
The game will only work in desktop mode, it will crash in game mode.
After pressing F11 to switch to window mode, all input will not work.
The game will only run in Steam Deck desktop mode, it will crash in game mode.

Manually downloaded VC2015 x64 from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=52685 and installed using winetricks by opening explorer from the default prefix, then using that to start the VCR installer.
The use of a manually-downloaded x64 VC2015 runtime was because Protontricks kept trying to install the x86 version instead of the 64-bit one that's needed. You must use a Proton 6 version, as Proton 7 doesn't seem to work at all with this game. I'm not sure if a GE build is needed, but based on previous reports probably not.
Borked
Tried playing it with Proton 7.0-3 flatpak build and Proton Experimental 7.0-20220913 flatpak build. Game won't even launch.
Doesn't seem to work with any of the Proton 7 series versions. Does work with Proton 6.3-8
It seems my arcade stick was mapped for player 1 and 2. So, I decided turn off steam input and use native in-game pad support.
There is strange Windows bug. Even in Windows, this game could load gray screen after select the game. You need to delete your save before run. After, you can run flawless. It is also Windows bug.
Attempted with 7.0-2, GE-Proton7-16, 5.0-10 -- same results on all.
Proton-7.0rc3-GE-1 GloriousEggroll
Using current version of Proton Experimental, game launched. Keyboard non-functional, but using gamepad the game worked perfectly
Keyboard did not work, Gamepad did
protontricks 1018000 -q vcrun2015
deactivate Steam Overlay and sometimes i had to start twice
Launches then closes
Tried adding the LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE COMMAND and used protontricks to force vcrun2015. Still crashes out immediately. Also tried using Glorious Eggroll's custom Proton version (6.5-GE-2) and versions 4 and 5 of Proton. Still no joy unfortunately
PROTON_FORCE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE=1 %command%
protontricks 1018000 -q --force vcrun2015
I have to use the followed command:
protontricks 1018000 -q --force vcrun2015
Install & start game then quits.
The game installs fine via steam but when pressing the play button it goes to a black screen for a couple of seconds then quits. Using Steamplay Runtime results in missing executable.
Will not start
Launched the game... It goes directly to a gray full screen for maybe 2 seconds then quits out.
