Symptoms

Game doesn't run under proton.

Reproduction

• Configure the game to run under proton. I set mine to Proton 6.3-6 (also tried with Experimental)
• Launch the game.
• In VR: A small window with black content appears, stays a few dozen seconds, then disappears.
• In pancake mode: the screen turns black, stays a few dozen seconds, then exits to the desktop.

Note: the game has a native version. However running it in proton might be advantageous under a number of scenarios. One of these is using the game in VR, since the linux build does not have VR capabilities. Also, it's a free game, so testing it is very easy.

My suspicions of where the problems might be: 52472.762:0140:0170:fixme:msctf:ThreadMgr_ActivateEx Unimplemented flags 0x4 or 52472.762:0140:0144:err:ole:CoMarshalInterface Failed to marshal the interface {ea1ea136-19df-11d7-a6d2-00065b84435c}, hr 0x80004002

Hello @Patola, these look like some lines of interest from the log:

I think the first problem is this:

[0000000000000144:] EXCEPTION handling: System.DllNotFoundException: libxenkoaudio assembly:<unknown assembly> type:<unknown type> member:(null)

libxenkoaudio.dll is present in the x64 directory of the game's files, so I tried copying its contents to the game's directory. Then I got this error:

664145.679:010c:0110:err:vulkan:wine_vkEnumerateDeviceExtensionProperties Layer enumeration not supported from ICD.
[0000000000000110:] EXCEPTION handling: Vortice.Vulkan.VkException: [-6] ErrorLayerNotPresent - Vulkan error occured

So the way this is supposed to work, based on source code available online for the engine this game is using, is that static AudioLayer() (https://github.com/stride3d/stride/blob/7e836297cb5930c01e6dfa0183e7f3cc64748fb6/sources/engine/Stride.Audio/Native/AudioLayer.cs#L35) loads libxenkoaudio.dll in the process manually using the full path before static AudioEngine() (https://github.com/stride3d/stride/blob/7e836297cb5930c01e6dfa0183e7f3cc64748fb6/sources/engine/Stride.Audio/AudioEngine.cs#L25) tries to use a pinvoke method. The problem is that Mono tries to resolve the pinvoke for AudioLayer.Init before it calls static AudioLayer().

I think I understand the dll loading issue and have a fix for it, but that still leaves the error in wine_vkEnumerateDeviceExtensionProperties.
