Additional Information

Escape menu while in-game is working. Seems to only be affecting the main menu.

Text issues aren't necessarily rendering issues; if the game does something weird with d2d/dwrite or a specific Windows font then that has a good chance of breaking as well. Would need a full Proton log to see what it's doing.

Yeah, must be an issue outside of DXVK. Found the draw that's supposed to render text there now, the texture is just completely blank because the app just feeds us zeroes (verified via trace, not a bug) and the vertex buffers just draw a bunch of zero-sized triangles, so it doesn't even seem to be getting font metadata properly.

Well, yep. That seems to be the case indeed. Installed corefonts to that prefix using Winetricks, now displaying the font. Interesting that in-game menu fonts are different from the main menu ones. Just generic ones on the main menu.

Nothing extracted yet.
