Symptoms

Game opens into a black screen and does not work, though intro sounds and menu music play normally

Note, the game does work using a third party ddraw implementation like cnc-ddraw or dgvoodoo2, but the color palette is completely broken. I have also tried multiple ddraw compat tools (DDrawCompat, DXwrapper, ddpatcher) with fixes for color palette problems but none of them worked

Reproduction

Launch the game without any tweaks

No source files or tests are named. Start by reproducing Army Men (Steam AppID 549160) under Proton Experimental and inspect steam-549160.log alongside the reported RX 580, Mesa, and kernel details. Done means the game launches past the black screen with working visuals and audio without compatibility tweaks.
