Update 1

Steam trys to install "dxwebsetup.exe, dotNetFx35setup.exe, vcredist_x86.exe" everytime i start the game, and this fails.
Me guess, because they are web installers?

so i did this:
protontricks -c "mv Win32Libs/dotNetFx35setup.exe Win32Libs/dotNetFx35setup.exe.bak" 217790
protontricks -c "mv Win32Libs/dxwebsetup.exe Win32Libs/dxwebsetup.exe.bak" 217790
protontricks -c "mv Win32Libs/vcredist_x86.exe Win32Libs/vcredist_x86.exe.bak" 217790
protontricks 217790 d3dx9 dotnet35 vcrun2008

and now the game starts.

my test to install the provided deps:
protontricks -c "Win32Libs/dxwebsetup.exe" 217790, LOG: protontricks_dxwebsetup.exe.log
protontricks -c "Win32Libs/dotNetFx35setup.exe" 217790, LOG: protontricks_Win32Libs_dotNetFx35setup.exe.log
protontricks -c "Win32Libs/vcredist_x86.exe" 217790, LOG: protontricks_Win32Libs_vcredist_x86.exe.log

didn't worked.

Yes, i can confirm. Works with experimental-8.0-20240205 fine.

I hadn't checked this for a long time, presumably those fixes in Experimental have propagated to the main Proton releases - I just tried in vanilla Proton 9.0-2 and it now runs. But bizarrely, even though English is selected in the options/launcher, it seems to only show Italian text (at a guess) in the game itself and there doesn't appear to be any language options inside the game.

Tried in Proton Experimental, and the menu is in English, but there seem to be rendering glitches.

WWedge009 2024-12-21 github

I worked around the language issue by changing and saving the language selection in the options program. Don't know if the update to Proton 9.0-4 made any difference here.
