I confirm:
- that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
- that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.
steam-9060.log - this is a log with black screen
Symptoms
Game either crashes immediately, or black screens and needs to be killed.
Reproduction
Install and run HeXen II
Warning: if it black screens, the log will grow by 1GB every 3-5 seconds, make sure to kill the process soon.
Note
Game needs OpenGL support and as far as I could understand it was removed from Wine a long time ago. Not sure if this can be solved.

Research direction
Start by reproducing HeXen II with Proton 3.7-6 Beta and inspect steam-9060.log alongside the linked system information report. Confirm whether the game crashes or produces a black screen, and verify that the log does not grow rapidly; the report does not identify a specific implementation point or test beyond running the game.
