Symptoms

When launching the game, the dialog box to set your widescreen resolution appears and when the user selects "Run" the game exits before running.

When running outside of Proton in a regular WINE prefix (a long time ago), the following steps made the game playable:

$ winetricks vcrun2003

then set a custom override for:
windows version: winxp

libraries:
override msvcp71 and msvcr71 to native
also override d3d8 to native, builtin (VERY IMPORTANT)

works 99% perfectly

Reproduction

On any version of Linux, try to run the game.

steam-260190.log

Start by reviewing steam-260190.log alongside the reported Proton version, system information, and launch symptoms. Compare the behavior with the listed Wine overrides and verify whether the game launches successfully after an appropriate compatibility change; the issue is resolved when the game runs past the widescreen-resolution dialog.
