Symptoms

Ghost Master can be run fine with some caveats. When trying to play the game it launched fine, played the intro videos and crashed to desktop.To fix this I was required to emulate a virtual desktop (I settled on 1280 x 1024) in winecfg. When you start a new game, the cutscene videos will play a single frame every 5 or so seconds. The audio will run perfectly in the background though and the game will continue fine after them. There aren't too many of them and they are skippable with Mouse 1 as well, so they aren't too big an issue.

The above issues are also mentioned in the games AppDB on WineHQ.

Research direction

Start by reading steam-6200.log and the linked system information, then reproduce Ghost Master (Steam AppID 6200) with Proton 3.7-6, with and without the 1280 x 1024 virtual desktop. The report defines no source file, test, or precise completion condition beyond avoiding the crash and improving cutscene playback.
