Seems to have evidence of both XAudio2 and DSound use... not sure if DSound is for certain types of playback, some support forum posts suggests XAudio2 for in-game sound.
More important is that this is another mfplat game... log attached.
The game works online if you use Proton 6.3-8 oddly, regression?

Hello @illusionX3, please add PROTON_LOG=1 %command% to the game's launch options, reproduce the regression, and attach the generated $HOME/steam-$APPID.log to this issue report as a file. (Proton logs compress well if needed.) Also, please copy your system information from Steam (Steam -> Help -> System Information) and put it in a gist, then include a link to the gist in this issue report.
The log is too big to be uploaded here, so I uploaded it here, sorry. https://files.catbox.moe/4t7lle.log
As for my system information https://gist.github.com/illusionX3/df9d69364ef7fec9ebf9e02870527fe6
Using Proton 6.3-8 The game has no network access so it fails to connect online, This happens with all games i run using 6.3-8
I don't have the game to check as it's since been delisted, but apparently this game crashes after the logos with a fatal error prompt unless you drop down to 6.3-8 checking around from others experiences with this game.
