i dont know why the symptons are missing on my previous comment, it appear when i edit the comment but it disapear when i publish, i will post it again:
on proton 4.2-9:
the intro is automatically skiiped, the game start directly at the main screen, the game is playable but any video it might have does not play.
some buttons are mapped wrong (start goes to L3, R3) but i'm using an generic xbox controler so that might be the issue.
the game crash if you try to minimize it. (the screen goes black)
on proton 5.0-9:
the game isnt playable, the first intro video is skiped, then there is an second presentation showing the characters fighting each other, but instead of showing the characters there are some gigantic pixel blocks (the same goes for the background), you can try to skip this intro, but then the game mainscreen is all black, without any sounds, the game is unplayable at this proton version.
@HonkingGoose asked me to mark him

I managed to get this game working streaming via Steam Link to my TV and able to play out of the box with an Xbox Series controller at full 60 FPS using Game Vulkan NV12 + libx264 main (4 threads) instead of Desktop OpenGL NV12 + libx264 main (4 threads).
I'm using my R9 5900X with an RTX 5060 Ti using Proton 11.0 and d3d8to9 v1.15.1 with the following launch params: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3d8=n,b" PROTON_ENABLE_D8VK=1 PROTON_USE_DXVK=1 %command%
Hopefully this will help someone else, if anyone else is still trying this game in 2026 lol
