Compatibility Report

• Name of the game with compatibility issues: Batman: Arkham Knight
• Steam AppID of the game: 208650

System Information

• GPU: NVIDIA RTX 2080 Super
• Video driver version: 575.57.8
• Kernel version: 6.15.2-2-cachyos (64-bit)
• Proton version: Tried multiple, including GE 10-4, GE 8-32, Experimental, proton-cachyos native, Proton 9.0-4

I confirm:

• [X] that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
• [X] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.

What I have tried so far:

• Tested with multiple Proton versions:

  GE-Proton8-32 (recommended)
  GE-Proton10-4 (less stable)
  Cleaned Proton prefix
  Verified game files via Steam (no corruption found)

Tried combinations of these launch options:

-dx11

-nointro (game closed without even showing splash screen or error message)

PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=0 PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=1 DXVK_ENABLE_NVAPI=0 DXVK_ASYNC=0 DXVK_STATE_CACHE=0 (game closed without even showing splash screen or error message)

PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 (successfully showed splash screen + original error)

Also tried launching with no launch options, same result

Used winetricks with GE-Proton8-32’s internal Wine to avoid Wine 10.9 WoW64 bug.

Re-ran game:
After installing physx + xact, game failed even earlier (no splash screen)
Determined that physx is broken with Wine 9.5+ (Wine bug 56606)

I generated a log file using Proton, view the attached file.

I'm completely thrown by this because the game runs fine on the Steam Deck. No issues whatsoever. So I must be missing some dependency, or have something configured wrong. Any help would be appreciated.
