Game is "playable" with either Proton 6.3.8 or 7.0.1 but music/speech is not rendered. Only in-game sounds. That would be a deal-breaker for some. GE-Proton 7-1x and newer will run the game perfectly as it was meant to be played.
Game as other users have reported starts with a black screen and immediately crashes. I reverted to 4.11.x as suggested. No joy. The windows installer installs VC 2005, directx9 and net 3.5 runtimes. Proton doesn't trigger those installations by default. With the help of "protontricks 34030 d3dx9 vcrun2005 vcrun2008" game can be launched normally and it is fully playable. Yet, Proton 4.11 uses wined3d by default and that means almost half the framerate achieved by later versions of Proton which use dvxk. Proton 6.3.8 and 7.0.5 perform nearly on par with Windows. 7.0.5 has some stability problems. Game does not exit gracefully and does not save settings you modify after the initial setup but similar bugs are present on Windows too. Proton 6.3.8 proved more stable.
