Update: videos play with Proton GE.

Apparently the game boots to a black screen on Steam deck unless you use "WINEDLLOVERRIDES="amd_ags_x64=b" %command%" via launch options and use Proton GE. I don't have the game to test on my end, but i've been seeing others mention this around.

btw: looks like (at least) on Nvidia you also need PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 or it will not start (I have it enabled by default so didn't notice at first).

I think this is correct, at least the WINEDLLOVERRIDES override. Proton GE is probably only needed for working videos.

I am a steamdeck user and can confirm that with no launch arguments, Proton Latest, Proton Experimental, and Proton Hotfix all launch to black screen and then crash.

Could you also run the game with "PROTON_LOG=1 %command%" and post it here since I can't really do it.

Apparently proton hotfix should have a fix for it.

This game isn't working at all for me on Proton Experimental (Bleeding-Edge), Proton 8, latest GE-8 or GE-7-55.
All I get is a black loading screen forever.

I've only tried up to the first couple minutes after the first cutscene, but menus and gameplay seem to work great for me. The first cutscene, however, have this exciting effect (haven't played through to other cutscenes yet):

I've tried GE (8.6), experimental, and 8.0, all with the same effect when I set PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1. Without PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI, experimental and 8.0 both give me a similar effect to OP in cutscenes; GE does the same with/without.

PROTON_LOG seems uninteresting, but here it is just in case:

Still stuck at black loading screen using the current default Proton version selected by Valve (Proton Hotfix, 1714138889 hotfix-20240426-di2-hfw-f4). Setting WINEDLLOVERRIDES=amd_ags_x64=b makes no difference.

GE-Proton9-4 works including video.

Game loads endlessly after killing a boss when using proton 10+ including forks like proton GE. Switching to GE Proton 9-27 solves the issue.

Hi @kisak-valve

Here are two logs "bad" is on proton10-bleeding-edge and "good" is on proton9.0-4
steam-1358700-bad.log
steam-1358700-good.log

Gist

To recreate the issue, just start a new game. The game at this point needs to play the opening video file (.wmv) but loads indefinitely on proton10.

those having issues related to videos, if you run this on your terminal steam steam://unlockh264/ and then launch the game afterwards, does the issue remain?

The issue has been fixed with Proton 10.0-2 (beta) and now works with bleeding-edge.

@kisak-valve should be able to remove the Regression label now.

Thanks for the quick fix!

Hmm the initial new game loads indefinitely, not sure about later saves, when cutscene is about to play probably. (proton10)

Proton9 works fine.

For those trying out proton10 with wine-wayland support, make sure wine-wayland is disabled or the frame rate will be very low with game running in slow mo. (for unofficial proton version with cutscene working)

I'm using the EGS version through Lutris. With proton versions downloaded from steam as well as protonup-qt. I can add those env vars and upload the logs but not sure if it's valid?

If you don't mind though I can try through heroic game launcher with the log just in case it's something weird with lutris.
