Symptoms

The game launches and displays all 2D elements of the game as well as music and sounds.
It responds to the controlls and one has the impression that the game actually runs.
However no 3d elements are displayed (menu backgrounds and game itself), just black.
Game uses UDK (free edition I think ca. 2012) and directX 9.

Reproduction

Download game (I think it cannot be purchased any more)
protontricks 242800 vcrun2008 dotnet40
run game

(I also tried vcrun2010 vcrun2012 d3dcompiler_43 physx)

After seeing the Xaudio2 label I also tried faudio and xact.
Out of the box: audio works
Installing faudio breaks the audio
Installing xact audio works again

However 3d still isnt being rendered. Works fine on windows 7 and Intel 5500.

Ok:
protontricks 242800 galliumnine03
launch options: %command% -windowed (fullscreen crashes for me)
works.
If you dont have it you didnt miss anything. It's more of an acquired taste ;)
