Install d3dx9_43.dll with protontricks then this games runs pefectly. This is a DX9 game that needs this to render 2D and 3D properly.
Needs to install d3dx9_43.dll by using protontricks, otherwise this game can't run properly.
Can confirm that using d3dx9_43.dll fixes everything. Goes from the first to last stage with no issues whatsoever
gamescope -W 1920 -H 1080 -f -U -- mangohud %command%
d3dx9_43.dll is needed for the game to render both 2D and 3D elements properly.
Without d3dx9_43, 2D sprites and text will be rendered as white squares, and some 3D models will be completely invisible.
Gamescope helps a lot with the game's low res in case you don't like the overall blurriness. Everything works perfectly fine aside from that, and needing a specific dll.
The game requires d3d9_43.dll, either via protontricks, winetricks, or grabbing the appropriate file from the game's demo, available off-steam.
Small amounts of audio stutters. possibly unrelated to the game.
If only the game packed the appropriate d3dx9_43.dll in the game's root folder, everything would be perfect OOB.
All text is unreadable.
All 2D works is just white cubes. Only 3D is ok. Not very playable.
For now, starts and technically plays OK, but anything in 2D is wrong. Unreadable text and all shots in 2D is just big white squares. Not pleasant
While it works better than 6.3, it's still far from a decent experience, but play using this custom proton if you can bear the problems.
6.21-GE-2 GloriousEggroll
Using GloriousEggroll's custom Proton builds.
Compared to Proton 6.3-8, there were some general graphical fixes, the menu is starting to render some text, albeit in japanese and still garbled, the boss models also seem to render more frequently, but could be just luck.
Same happens compared to 6.3-8, changing between windowed and fullscreen has a chance to trigger a black screen until it's changed again.
Not really playable considering the amount of graphical bugs and the possibility that certain bosses won't even render at all.
Text is very glitched in menus and doesn't even appear in cutscenes, sometimes even the boss models fail to render.
Changing between Fullscreen and Windowed has a chance to trigger a black screen until it gets changed again.
Text does not display properly. Some projectiles are white blocks.
Bugs with text not rendering correctly and bullets showing as white blocks still exist. The game can be played without crashing though.
No text in menus
Graphical glitches on menu (no text) and projectiles (white blocks instead of projectiles from your main gun). You can kind of guess/stumble your way through the menus and the game is playable otherwise.
