The game still works with W. I. N. E. version I believe version 6 something.
Hello @khumi01, Proton uses DXVK to translate DirectX 9/10/11 to Vulkan, and your Sandybridge generation Intel graphics does not support Vulkan, which makes your system unsupported by Proton in general.
Your log contains:
err:vulkan:wine_vk_instance_load_physical_devices Failed to enumerate physical devices, res=-3
err:vulkan:wine_vkCreateInstance Failed to load physical devices, res=-3
Which confirms that the game is trying to use Vulkan.
You might get lucky by setting the game's launch options to PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% which tells Proton to use wine's DirectX to OpenGL render path, but that setting comes with a significant performance penalty and is not considered supported. Alternatively, you could try -force-glcore or similiar Unity3D launch options from https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/CommandLineArguments.html to get the game engine to use an OpenGL render path, but the game's developer may not have tested against those Unity backends to confirm they should work in the first place.
