On State of Decay 2, some characters will have invisible models with only their clothes visible:

I'm not sure if this is specific to the characters or the clothes they are wearing as others have mentioned this issue on ProtonDB being specific to some clothes, however, changing the character above to use different clothes didn't fix the issue for me.

This only affects DXVK and the models render when running the game with WineD3D using PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%, but it has its own set of issues where there are white boxes around all the UI elements which DXVK doesn't have.

Reading online, it looks like the issue happens on Windows too as shown here and here, and is fixable by setting Anti-Aliasing & Anisotropic Filtering to use the application's settings using your GPU graphical control panel.

To reproduce the issue:

1. Go to campaign and start a new community
2. Choose to reply the tutorial if already beaten before
3. Pick any difficulty
4. Play as the Odd Couple (Ashton and Grace)
5. Skip the initial cutscene and look at Grace, she should have no model while her clothes are visible
