Launch Flags:Use Wine D3D

Played through the game without any issues. Performance isn't great, but completely playable without any glitches. When using the NVIDIA card worked without any tweaks. When using Intel embedded, needed to use PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 or it crashes.

Tested with discrete NVidia card, works flawlessly as far as I tested (GTX 750M with 390 series driver). Tested with integrated Intel GPU (see sys info) and it crashes on every start. Not sure what to rate that as... I guess switching graphics cards is a tweak.
