Symptoms

When I start the game, it opens into a white screen with a swan feet as a cursor, and the closes, is not possible to start playing the game.

There is a way to get to the main menu, that is installing d3dcompiler_47 with winetricks. That allow to continue to the opening titles, and the main menu, but pressing "play" crashes the game. This are the logs with this method: steam-1206430.log.

Reproduction

Just open the game and watch it close.

Game runs and plays just fine when installing d3dcompiler_47 with "protontricks 1206430 d3dcompiler_47" and using GE-Proton7-10. Trying Proton Experimental and Proton 7.0 will crash the game when pressing start in the main menu as described by OP.

Those parts seem interesting when native dlls are not installed:

And when using Proton 7.0 or Experimental instead of GE-Proton7-10 + native d3dcompiler_47 those lines seem interesting since the game crashes right before a video sequence starts (directly after pressing "Play" in the main menu):

@MadByteDE I can confirm this still works with GE-Proton7-24. I've been trying to make this game work for a while now. Thanks a lot for sharing your solution!
