Symptoms

Loading screens seem to take forever through proton. Apparently it does work according to protondb, but it takes up to 10-20 minutes to load into a level. I have beaten the game on windows and I am 100% certain levels don't take that long to load.

I also noticed some slight sound issues, like the sega logo sounding warbly, the Arkedo logo part not saying "Arkedo", and the main menu is dead silent. (Normally bubbling volcano noises should be playing in the background, but apparently protondb says there's no working music

Reproduction

Just start a new game or continue and grab a bag of popcorn.

Start with the attached steam-205230.log and reproduce the long level load on Steam Deck using Proton Experimental; compare the reported audio symptoms with the compatibility behavior. Done means identifying a reproducible cause and validating a targeted fix for the loading and sound issues.
