Symptoms

A black window launches briefly, followed by a smaller window with what appears to be the Blade and Sorcery logo with a red exclamation-mark in the upper left corner. This smaller window has a loading progress bar, that upon reaching the end, simply exits the smaller window and thusly the larger window. The game never starts.

Reproduction

This symptom is reproduced every time I try to run the game.

Start by reviewing steam-629730.log and the linked system information Gist, then reproduce the launch failure with Proton 4.2-3 on the reported system. Done means identifying a concrete compatibility cause and confirming that Blade & Sorcery launches successfully.
