Symptoms

The game starts and seem to work but have similar issues to WRC 8 (tracked in bug #4567), it needs Proton Experimental to run. It will also need xinput1_3 set to native, or Windows version to 7.

The game still crashes because of problems with the DX12 renderer. Bug report with trace here.

As a workaround, the game can be configured to use the DX11 renderer. This needs be set in a configuration file, but the game crashes before the file is created. I have saved a working copy (set to DX11) here.

Place UserSettings.cfg in <Steam-folder>/steamapps/compatdata/1462810/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/My Games/WRC10

My racing wheel (Logitech G29) is detected and works with force feedback, but only if Steam Input is disabled. I've seen reports of this happening on Windows too so it's probably not an issue unique to Proton.

Extended gameplay have not been tried, network play have not been tested. There might be other issues. I noticed some intermittent problems loading the leaderboards but it might not at all be related to Proton.

Start by reviewing the DX12 trace in vkd3d-proton issue #789 and the related WRC 8 report in bug #4567. Reproduce the crash with Proton Experimental, then compare it with the supplied UserSettings.cfg DX11 workaround; done would require a confirmed compatibility fix or a documented, reliable workaround.
