Looks like this game would benefit from support for Media Foundation maturing.
so far as a workaround, i've been able to have it running with this custom build of proton - https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom - i'd need some guidance to figure out what about this build works to help point towards compatibility fixes to go into the main builds, but it gets the game playable, with some freezes.
to be clear, i'm specifically still running 4.11-GE-1 because i haven't bothered to update it. also i do have steamVR installed, which seems to launch with the game but can be closed after.

I can confirm that I'm seeing the same issue and that OWW mostly works with 4.11-GE-1. Teleporting to Bumblebee Plaza results in a cryptic Unreal Engine error with no actual info on the error.
Using the most recent GloriousEggroll build (4.15-GE-4) results in the original blank screen on start issue you get with the official 4.11 Proton.

Yeah, ran into this too, but it seems like it depends on your graphics settings to some degree. I get this with some people's galleries in general and it sometimes works after a few tries, sometimes only if I turn settings down.... It's a bit inconsistent.
Nothing extracted yet.
