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.

steam-2050650.zip

Not sure, what you guys can see there, but on this run where I captured the log I did:

• start the game
• try to change settings
• load a save game
• quit the game

Symptoms

• Game immediately crashes with Proton 7.0.6, needs Experimental or GE-Proton7-51 to run
• Can't change any settings
• Performance was fine on first run, but seems to be 20-30fps, dropping to what feels like > 10 fps at some places. Deleting the prefix does not help
• Game freezes when trying to exit (to desktop)
• Game is using ~20 - 24GB RAM. Not sure if that's a bug, but that doesn't seem normal
• MangoHud goes bonkers, refreshes extremely fast and shows 0 fps

Reproduction

Start the game from steam, try to change any settings and start a new game.

Further notes

In the meantime, I managed to fix my issues. Apparently, it needed to filter the right GPU with DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME=6600 (6600 cuz I have a 6600XT in my secondary PC where I found the fix), still running on ge-proton7-53. Quite surprising, considering it's a D3D12/VKD3D game. Without the filter, Mongohud still reports, that the 6600XT is being used, so no clue what's going on.

Start with the attached steam-2050650.zip log and the linked system information report, then reproduce the reported behavior using Proton 7.0.6, Experimental, and the listed GE-Proton versions. Compare startup, settings changes, performance, and exit behavior, including the DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME=6600 workaround. Done means isolating a reproducible Proton compatibility problem rather than only documenting the workaround.
