Create a new text file and add the following 3 lines:
dxgi.deferSurfaceCreation = True d3d9.deferSurfaceCreation = True d3d11.maxFeatureLevel = 9_3
Then rename the file to "dxvk.conf". Then just start the game and it should work, no launch options or compatibility options changed.
A previous report said the game works flawslessly with proton "Proton Hotfix", that wasn't the case for me.
Tinker solution by following this user's help: https://steamcommunity.com/app/791330/discussions/0/3882724699538063194/#c4133807993211383961
Right click and select the game's properties, and under "Compatibility" check "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool" and then "Proton Hotfix" should be the last one on the list.

Opening played very slowly. Screen-space scrolling in some areas can feel noticeably less smooth than in others.
Rare crashes.
Was having an issue where only audio played and the screen remained black at start up. Had to downgrade the runner in Lutris from lutris-GE-Proton8-12-x86_64 to lutris-ge-7.2-2-x86_64. lutris-ge-6.16-1-x86_64 also appears to function. Worked fine after doing so.
Crashes on rare occasions
I was able to play and finished the game using Lutris by enabling DXVK, VkD3D, Esync, Fsync, AMD fidelity.
Aside from the massive FPS issues when moving around, paining new parts of the map is slow, resulting in weird ghosting artifacts where one object is at two places at the same time, because it hasn't been removed from the screen yet.
The integrated fullscreen button, F4, can "fullscreen" the application, however the viewport doesn't change and is surrounded by black bars. This can be fixed by resetting the game using F5.
Likely due to the low FPS. I haven't tested controllers.
Enabling the FPS monitor with F3, shows highly variating FPS. When standing still, FPS would randomly go from 20 to 30. Moving around will hurt performance to the point of it being unplayable, reaching as low as 9 FPS. The only time you get anything above 40 FPS, is on very small maps that can fit in the entire viewport, but even those scenes are plagued with variating FPS. This game is unplayable in its current state.
Black screen and music
Tried booting on desktop mode, toggling fullscreen (F4), and restarting game (F5). Same results always--black screen with background music.

Very slow on big maps. Fine on smaller maps.
i can install and launch the game but all i see is a black screen.
for me the game will run, but whenever I enter any building, the game will freeze. I've tried most of the stuff mentioned here: https://pastebin.com/21Yi6vnt. None of that seemed to fix it though.
