I've completed the game with DXVK and it still works completely fine on my end.
Edit: Loking at your Proton log, it looks like you're using wined3d, but even that works fine here.
Edit 2: It used to be the case that d3dcompiler_43 and xact had to be installed via winetricks in order to run the game, not sure if that's still necessary though (I still have both in my wine prefix).
Thank you so much I thought I had all the dependencies needed but it turns out I didn't. Your second edit fixed the problem. Been trying all day to get it working.
It was my bad on the log i was trying different things and sent you to wrong one.
Its cool your a fan of the series been meaning to catch up now the third is coming out next week.
Sorry for wasting your time man. Thanks for all the work you do.

If any logs are missing that you need just ask. I was struggling finding information to get the log files needed from proton.
Not sure if this is a DXVK issue but any help pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated.
