I too kept having the issue with crashing immediately after the game's launcher dialogue. Kept hoping that one day it would just be fixed in a new version proton and had been periodically trying newer versions after they released for many months. Just now checked protondb again and tried tlepolemus's steps on Proton 5.13-4, would fail on step 2. It might just need an older version of Proton. Tried his steps on 3.16-9 like the other Gold reports here and they went through perfectly fine and the game was finally able to launch! Can't wait to finally play this beloved game again!
Controller triggers were mapped incorrectly, but keyboard/mouse worked perfectly fine
To add-on to my last post (please read my last post) I am now 10-12 hours into the game and running smooth :)
-dx11
Would crash on startup for me with an "Assertion Error" with info about Wine C++ Runtime Library vkCreateRayTracingPipelinesKHR. Adding the -dx11 launch options flag allowed me to launch and play the game on either Proton 9.0-3 or Experimental just fine. The game does have some frame dips here and there as others have mentioned but is completely playable.
