Proton Log

I add the Proton log of the game running just fine. Maybe it helps with debugging Dishonored 2:

Gist - Proton Log

Symptoms

1.First start it crashed immediately with black screen.
2. Start was just fine. No issues staring the game. Really great!

I set GFX to ultra and turned off Motion Blur (not bc. of issues, just bc. I don't like it). Started playing the campaign. First some stuttering, I suggest, it's because of compiling shaders or caching textures. when entering new scene.

Then game performance is great. I have the impression it is even smoother as the main game Dishonored 2 was with DXVK 0.7 and Wine-Staging.

Maybe it's worth copying over this Prefix to Dishonored 2, too and try if that helps running it, too.

Start by reviewing the linked Proton log alongside the report of the inconsistent first-start crash. No source file or test is named, and the game is otherwise reported to run well; done would require a reproducible compatibility failure and a defined diagnostic or fix.
