Protonlogs:

Default settings:
steam-365360-no-opengl-hack.log
With applied OpenGL hack:
steam-365360-opengl-hack.log

Symptoms

With default proton settings game launches and shows a black screen, only cursor could be seen.

Reproduction

Launch game from steam with default options.

Hotfix

I've noticed on Lutris page recommended setting: add environment variable MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE: 3.3COMPAT

I've tried editing wineprefix user.reg to add env variable but didn't helped (perhaps it only visible from within windows, not from OpenGL driver)

Then I've launched steam as MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.3COMPAT steam it helped.

later I've altered game launch settings as:

MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.3COMPAT %command%

Readiness

With this fix ONLY issue with game is flickering cursor, but in other aspects game is playable, sound and other stuff works.

Suggestion

Add this environment variable as default setting.

P.S. would test on RX 590 this week, perhaps issue is actually with my Intel videocard.

Start with the linked Proton logs and the default Steam launch path, then compare them with the reported MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.3COMPAT launch setting. Confirm whether the fix is specific to the reported Intel graphics environment. Done means Battle Brothers launches without a manually supplied environment variable and no longer shows the black screen.
