Tk-Glitch
commented
3 years ago The game (counting both of them as one huge mess of a port) can't be considered "totally playable" (on any platform - your issue also randomly happened with the PS3 version) as it exhausts its address space even with LAA (it's a 32 bit game). Before FAudio was a thing it was already extremely problematic, but with FAudio it got worse.
- Older wine builds may or may not randomly work better.
- You may or may not have moderate success with a 4GB patcher you can find on steam forums instead of builtin proton LAA, but whatever you do those games are broken and will randomly - crash - not start - start without audio - start and lock on a black screen.
- Using wined3d instead of DXVK helps a bit, and you might get some "kinda stable" runs at times, where everything seemingly just works for a few hours. Then it'll take 10 tries next time to get the game to get past the intro with sound.
Since all of this happens on windows too (to a lesser extent due to not having as much address space taken by compat layers) the best thing to do, if you can, is asking for a refund. You're better off grabbing PS2 copies and running them through PCSX2 (and you'd get actual face animations as a bonus :frog: ).

Proton Log and Proton-tkg.cfg Proton-tkg Version:
proton_tkg_6.16.r0.g931daeffFor some reason, running the game loads it without any sound, beyond the initial opening, and to the main menu. I haven't touched it further than that because I expected it would just continue to be muted but it's quite a distressing issue
EDIT: This is also the case with FFX-2 for some reason
