I confirm:

• that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
• that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.

Symptoms

• Game starts fullscreen, but fullscreen displays only a black screen. Can be mitigated by going windowed via alt+enter.
• Had not played this game since 3.7-3 was current. Letting proton convert the same prefix resulted in the game failing to start silently. Log ended after the spec block at the top with no content. Removing the old prefix resolved this issue.

Reproduction

• Start game

steam-272990.log

Start by reviewing the attached steam-272990.log and reproducing the report with Proton experimental-6.3-20211215. Compare a fresh prefix with the converted older prefix, and check both fullscreen and windowed launch behavior. Done means the game starts successfully and fullscreen displays the game rather than a black screen.
