8476.423:0024:0025:warn:module:load_dll Failed to load module L"gameoverlayrenderer64.dll"; status=c0000135 8476.454:0024:0025:trace:module:LdrShutdownProcess ()

It looks like the process shuts down after it is unable to load gameoverlayrenderer64, could this be the cause?

I don't think so. I believe this game has Denuvo protection and it's failing like Just Cause 3.

The game does run with Steam running on Wine. Tested with both tkg-protonifed-faudio-4.5 and tkg-protonified-3.21.

I suspect a problem specific to Proton.

EDIT: Looks like only Wine staging is able to run the game. It isn't not possible on Wine devel

Can we try to isolate the patch that wine-stagging has to be able to play this game?

The game does run after applying ntdll patches to wine devel (tested on 4.7).
I haven't tested with proton.
I applied these patches with patchinstall.sh:

ntdll-Activation_Context ntdll-APC_Performance ntdll-ApiSetMap ntdll-Builtin_Prot ntdll-CriticalSection ntdll-Dealloc_Thread_Stack ntdll-DeviceType_Systemroot ntdll-DOS_Attributes ntdll-Exception ntdll-FileDispositionInformation ntdll-FileFsFullSizeInformation ntdll-FileFsVolumeInformation ntdll-Fix_Alignment ntdll-HashLinks ntdll-Heap_Improvements ntdll-Hide_Wine_Exports ntdll-Interrupt-0x2e ntdll-LDR_MODULE ntdll-Manifest_Range ntdll-MemoryWorkingSetExInformation ntdll-NtAccessCheck ntdll-NtContinue ntdll-NtDevicePath ntdll-NtQueryEaFile ntdll-NtQuerySection ntdll-NtQueryVirtualMemory ntdll-NtSetLdtEntries ntdll-Pipe_SpecialCharacters ntdll-ProcessQuotaLimits ntdll-RtlCaptureStackBackTrace ntdll-RtlCreateUserThread ntdll-RtlQueryPackageIdentity ntdll-Serial_Port_Detection ntdll-set_full_cpu_context ntdll-Signal_Handler ntdll-Stack_Guard_Page ntdll-Stack_Overflow ntdll-Status_Mapping ntdll-SystemExtendedProcessInformation ntdll-SystemInterruptInformation ntdll-SystemModuleInformation ntdll-SystemRoot_Symlink ntdll-Threading ntdll-ThreadTime ntdll-User_Shared_Data ntdll-Wait_User_APC ntdll-WRITECOPY ntdll-Zero_mod_name

Neat!, @MegWATTT can you test Just Cause 3 as well? It is more likely that the patches are accepted in Proton if they fix more than one game :smile:

I don't have Just Cause 3 unfortunately.
As for Proton, some ntdll patches from Wine staging 4.2 won't apply to Proton 4.2, so I can't test if It works on Proton.

is this working with Proton 4.11?

Unfortunately, no

I just tried with a custom build of Proton (Proton-4.15-GE-4 ) which have Wine staging patches. It still doesn't work. There might be a thing specific to proton which prevent the game to start.
There is also a difference. Starting the game in Wine without Wine staging patch lead to the game to be stuck (and have to be killed). However, starting the game with any version of Proton makes the game to close instantly.

The Denuvo issue is gone with proton 5.0. The game seems to be playable now.

Neat!, I wonder if other games (E.g. Duke Forever) are also playable.

Hello, the game seems to work on my side without any blocking issues.
The only ones I have is high stuttering when entering new areas, not always related to shader compilation. I've never finished the game so I can't tell if everything inside is working.

I finished the game with proton 5.0-9. It's working out of the box very well but as others mentioned, sometimes there is a lot stuttering for a few seconds when moving the camera around, maybe it's due to texture loading.
I also noticed some lighting problems when moving the camera in a few places.
I think both issues are present in windows too.

I have to use proton8 for this, in proton9 my mouse is being kicked out of the window and I can't click on anything. There is a cursor inside of the window drawn by the game, but it's not the real one. I'm using xorg.
