Description

I tried running Blackwood Crossing through Proton and it launches fine but when starting a new game it just loads to a white screen with a cursor. The app id for Blackwood Crossing is 453310.

I'm attaching an output log from the game folder, I don't know if it will have any relevant info:

output_log.txt

I also have a link to a screenshot of the issue if that helps:

I was using Proton 3.7-3 in case it isn't listed in that.
