Doom 2016 (379720) Black screen on start up, no sound. Game crashes after a few minutes.

Hello, I originally made a post in this thread : https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/217

I'm not sure if it is a better idea to just make a new post on this subject, or stay with that one. So I'll just create a new thread.

I am having the same issue seen in the thread above. I try to run the game and it goes to a black screen with no sound.

• I've tried launching the game with different settings like +r_renderAPI 1 and +r_renderAPI 0 as well as the no intro video command. Nothing worked.

• I tried the Winetricks Xinput suggestion listed here:
  https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/217#issuecomment-415440649

And no luck either.

• I also tried this Winetrick: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/217#issuecomment-415407297

But, to be honest, I have no idea how to install vcrun2015 using Winetricks.

• Finally, I do not own a wireless gamepad for my PC and I unplugged my wired gamepads.

My system specs

• i5 2600k
• Geforce 660 3GB
• 16GB DDR3
• Linux Mint 19
• Nvidia 396.54 drivers
• Proton 3.7-4
• Linux Kernel 4.15.0-33-generic

The report names no source file, test, or entry point. Start by reviewing the linked Proton issue 217 and reproducing the failure with Proton 3.7-4 on the listed Linux Mint, Nvidia driver, and hardware setup. Done means identifying and resolving the black screen, missing sound, and subsequent crash.
