Symptoms

Game gets stuck and controller reconnection causes it to wake up. Can't play campaign, only menu working.

Reproduction

Well, I've bought this game because former Strike Vector isn't working, besides being old. Strike Vector EX isn't working too. The game launches but gets stuck after the two initial banners in a spinning wheel screen. Controller reconnection causes the game to wake up and report controller disconnection, it works to past this. The game menu and settings setup works fine, but once entering the campaign it gets stuck again, controller reconnection works to bring a menu to exit to main menu, but the game campaign simply refuses to start.

No source file, entry point, or test is identified. Start by reproducing the launch and campaign hangs with the reported Proton, kernel, driver, and controller setup, then inspect the relevant compatibility behavior. Done means the game can pass the initial screens and enter the campaign without requiring controller reconnection.
