Symptoms

This game requires a 32-bit prefix for dotnet2.0 and wmp9. You can get the game to run and play perfectly by adding "PROTON_DUMP_DEBUG_COMMANDS=1 %command%" to the games launch options. Launching the game, then opening up a terminal and running the following commands:

wget http://download.microsoft.com/download/a/3/f/a3f1bf98-18f3-4036-9b68-8e6de530ce0a/NetFx64.exe

/tmp/proton_$USER/run $HOME/NetFx64.exe

This will install a 64 bit version of dotnet that will work with the game. The only remaining issue is that the games music will not play without wmp9. Sound effects work fine though, just not music.

Start by reviewing steam-92300.log alongside the linked system information and the reported 32-bit prefix setup. Reproduce A.R.E.S: Extinction Agenda with Proton 3.7-6, then investigate the missing music while confirming whether the game still runs and sound effects work. Done means music plays without the manual .NET and WMP9 workaround, or the remaining compatibility limitation is documented.
