Symptoms

As described in previous issues, Black Ops 2 Zombies still does not work properly. After a few seconds of launching the game, an Unhandled Exception error pops up, freezing input to the game. The game screen is frozen but music is still playing in the background. Even UI sounds still play (the sounds you hear when changing to the "Settings" screen for example) while the error is up.

I also tested in Proton GE 6.20 and Proton GE 6.21 but found no difference.

Reproduction

1. Download and install Call of Duty: Black Ops II - Zombies
2. Enable "Proton Experimental" under Settings > Compatibility
3. Press "Launch" on the game
4. The game will launch. After a few seconds, regardless of user input, the game will freeze. An error will pop up stating "unhandled exception caught."

Start by reproducing Call of Duty: Black Ops II - Zombies with Proton Experimental using the listed steps, then inspect the attached steam-212910.log and the linked system information. Done means the game launches without freezing input or showing the “unhandled exception caught” error.
