Hello @londiebrondie, these look like some lines of interest from the log:
FATAL ERROR in Vertex Shader compilation
ShaderName: blur_shdr
memory:67:25: E5005: Function "transpose" is not defined.
at gml_Object_clouds_Draw_0
Possibly already implemented in upstream vkd3d-shader: https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/vkd3d/-/commit/09e7218539a3c636bcb5282c573b7295f5432f8b
Alright @kisak-valve, thanks for your input. What happens now?
If that's the issue then it will likely get pulled in in a future proton update.
This is important, so please read it @kisak-valve. I've solved the problem, I've found the stinky file.
I found out that, in order to get the game to work, you need to replace the /syswow64/d3dcompiler_43.dll included in Proton Experimental with the d3dcompiler_43.dll that's included in bottles. I noticed that the d3dcompiler43_.dll in Proton Experimental is 380.4 KiB (389,558), meanwhile the d3dcompiler_43.dll in bottles is 2.0 MiB (2,106,216). Maybe the one in Proton Experimental is outdated? I don't know exactly where the bottles app gets its d3dcompiler files from, but something tells me you'd find it on this page: https://usebottles.com/database/dependencies/
Keep me updated on what happens please 👍
Those bottles dependencies are the native Windows ones

Weird, then why does the game work with that .dll file?
Because there is a bug or missing implementation with the one Proton (wine) provides.
Afaik there have been some upstream work on these dll's since Proton 7 was made. So perhaps if we are lucky it'll work with Proton 8 which will be based on upstream wine 8.x
NOTE: This has not been fixed yet. The full game releases in a few weeks.
I encountered this exact issue while playing the full version of Knuckle Sandwich. I hope this gets fixed soon!

Yes this solution works because I made it and they just took it :joy:
At least they linked to my original message

Symptoms
Before you get in-game, you have the option to "Play from the Beginning" or "Skip to Chapter 1". If you select "Play from Beginning", the game runs fine until reach the "Space Cleaner" minigame (it crashes). If you choose the "Skip to Chapter 1" option, the game crashes while attempting to load in the map. In the log I included, I choose the "Skip to Chapter 1" option.

Suspicions
My major suspicion is that using dxvk-2.1 is breaking the game, and that dxvk-2.0 will fix the game. Where did I get this idea? Well, I tried using bottles (with sys-wine 7.0.1 and dxvk 2.0) and it ran just fine. If I switched to dxvk 2.1 however, the game would crash. I would definitely compile a custom version of proton with dxvk-2.0 to test my theory, but I unfortunately don't know how to do that.
