Hello @syberpunk, based on https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/1804#issuecomment-590131659, can you test how the game behaves with the launch options set to `PROTON_FORCE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE=0 %command%`? That runtime option was enabled by default a fairly long while ago.

    So I just spent maybe 4 hours pulling my hair with the latest VTMBup115rc11.2 patch version. Turns out it plops a d3d9.dll next to the exe. Renamed it and the game runs again.. Also on recent Proton versions, since I'm r...
