Symptoms

After Intro the game crash with the message:
Failed to create device for rendering. Invalid resolution, or cannot run without at least shader model 3.0.

But if you create OPTIONS.TXT in
..../SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/502370/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/My Games/SANCTUS/OPTIONS.TXT

with this options from http://pastebin.com/RzYeqSCN the game start and is fully playable

The solution I found here: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=34764

Reproduction

Start with the reported failure after the intro on Proton 3.16-4 and inspect the OPTIONS.TXT workaround at the listed compatdata path, along with the linked WineHQ report. Reproduce it on the reported Linux, kernel, GPU, and driver details; the issue provides no log or reproduction steps, so completion criteria are not defined beyond launching the game without the manual configuration.
