I confirm:

• that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.

Symptoms

Game crashing with with an error.

Additional notes

• It can be launched when using winecfg and setting windows mode into win 7, but it only launches with custom protons like GE-6.0 or proton-tkg_6.0
• The window is blinking like crazy when launched, fps is around 15.
• If enabling wine virtual desktop (via winecfg), the game launches fine with over 100 fps, but force feedback doesn't work with wheel (thats entirely another issue to solve after this is starting to work with normal proton versions)

Start by reproducing WRC 8 with Proton 5.13-5, 5.0-10, and experimental, then compare the attached Proton logs and the reported winecfg behavior. The issue is done when the game launches reliably with a normal Proton version without the crash or severe blinking and performance problems.
