Description

Game installs fine and starts then instantly crashes. When started I can see a black window with a custom mouse cursor, then the game crashes. I tried running using the PROTON_USE_WINED3D11 option, but it crashed the same way.

Using Proton 3.7-3

Research direction

Start by reproducing The Technomancer's launch failure with Proton 3.7-3, both normally and with PROTON_USE_WINED3D11 enabled. The issue names no source file or test entry point, so first gather a reproducible diagnosis from the black-window crash; done means identifying a cause and verifying a fix for this game.
