This game crashes during the intro video with Proton Experimental (2024/08/08) and 9.0-2 with DXVK . Using WineD3D it reaches the main menu, but crashes after some seconds of interaction. After checking the logs I've found something related to NVAPI, so I tried PROTON_DISABLE_NVAPI=1 %command% and it fixed the crash.

The crash doesn't happen with Proton 8.0-5.

I believe like ranplayer said, nvapi needs to be turned off for this game too like #1098 cause the game seems to crash after 13 seconds on the logos on proton Experimental and 9.0 with my oled deck, made a log file and i see over 9000 mentions of nvapi in the log.

Problem goes away when dropping to 8.0-5 or turning off nvapi. Unsure if Shadow Warrior 2 and 3 are also effected by this or not.
