When i saw that I can play silent hill 2 on linux through enhanced edition patch and proton(on steam), I installed it. Followed the same steps https://enhanced.townofsilenthill.com/SH2/install.htm said, Installing through SH2EEsetup.exe was also successful. But when I launched the game, A black screen appeared asking "Insert CD-1, press enter to retry, press esc to exit". I even tried reinstalling (two times) but It didn't bypass CD check.

Why do you think it is a dxvk issue? It doesn't happen with wined3d?

I don't think it is a dxvk issue. And I think proton is better in terms of performance than wined3d

This is not an issue with graphics so it's not a DXVK bug.
