Symptoms

Game works out of the box, but there are some wrong textures here and there and there is one issue which makes it almost unplayable -- you cannot get to the title screen after starting the game, because the menu gets nested within the first and won't return. This prevents you from saving your current game from where you are, and since the game has very spaced out checkpoints (e.g. 2-3h on average to pass to each one) you can't just play it in short sessions, you have to reserve a large interval of time to play it.

Reproduction

• Start the game, new game, first off you'll notice the misplaced textures with some bright spots. Play some time. Press ESC, try to get to the title screen. You won't be able to, and you'll see the previous menu behind the current one that's translucent.

If you die playing the game, the death screen (limbo) never comes, you just stay there. So there seems to be some events that aren't triggered.

This also happens in the previous game of the series, "DreadOut" (appid 269790) the very same way. It has a native version and that doesn't happen in the native version, but that native version also has a showstopper bug that won't load saved games, so there is motivation for people to use proton on that one too.

OBS.: game is made using the Unity Engine.

Start by reproducing the issue with Proton 4.11-1 and reading steam-418950.log, using the reported ESC/menu and death-screen steps. Done means the title-screen transition and death screen work correctly, with the reported texture problems also investigated.
