Retest Compatibility Report

Problem persists, game won't launch, same "Assertion Failed!" error message on launch.

With D9VK, there is no error message however nothing happens. In the d9vk log I did see this line that is maybe of interest:
81231.002:0027:0028:fixme:vulkan:X11DRV_vkCreateWin32SurfaceKHR Application requires child window rendering, which is not implemented yet!

System Information

• GPU: AMD RX 5700
• Driver/LLVM version: Mesa 23.1.2
• Kernel version: 6.3.8-200.fc38.x86_64
• Proton version: proton-8.0-3-rc1

Game no longer crashes with recent Proton versions, but there is no video just a black screen (you can hear that the game is running/playing music though)

To fix video not working one has to install d3dcompiler_46 using Proton tricks, with this command:
protontricks 366280 d3dcompiler_46

Including logs running the game without and with d3dcompiler_46 installed:

Hello @AwesamLinux, these look like some lines of interest from your Proton log:
