I don't see what's obviously wrong about that image without a reference. Do you have screenshots of what it should look like?
This is what it is suppose to look like normally.
Here is another image to compare.

Hi,
I have had two people on steam deck having issues with Helldivers 2 since the latest game patch which broke all other proton versions.
When they use Proton Hotfix or Experimental and the game is running in DX12 mode using vkd3d they get strange texture issues(see attached).
The errors in the proton log are:
vkd3d-proton:d3d12core_GetDebugInterface: Returning DXGI_ERROR_SDK_COMPONENT_MISSINGandwarn:vkd3d-proton:d3d12_pipeline_state_init_graphics_create_info: DSV format is DXGI_FORMAT_UNKNOWNI believe that it is driver related as the Steam Deck only has the radv 24.2.99 driver.
They can play the game as long as they set the game to run in DX11 mode using dxvk.
Any help on this is appreciated.
