Flashes black, then crashes. I tried changing the layer to win98 still no luck.

Same here i tried the launch options:
PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 %command%
PROTON_NO_D3D11=1 %command%

(not sure if im doing it right)
but nothing works
i dont know if you can combine the commands

This can be worked around by installing the native version of d3dcompiler_43:

WINEPREFIX=(steam library location)/steamapps/compatdata/200940/pfx winetricks d3dcompiler_43

[lineber]

+thirdeyefunction That is correct. It works. Thanks.

Also confirming that @thirdeyefunction's trick works.

Game does not run, Crashes immediately in Steam Runtime
Arch Linux
GNOME 3.28.2
Nvidia 396.54

I tried installing winetricks, ran winetricks d3dcompuler_43 and set the launch command but that did not work for me, I guess i am doing something wrong

I tried
WINEPREFIX=/home/houtworm/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/200940/pfx winetricks d3dcompiler_43
WINEPREFIX=/home/houtworm/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/200940/pfx/drive_c/windows/system32/d3dcompiler_43.dll
I also tried to access it in the .wine folder with the launch command
I also tried placing the DLL file in the pfx folder and accessing that with the launch command,

None seem to work, I am new to wine, So i probably did something wrong.

Added my terminal output in a gist

I installed the game today, and tried to run it with Proton 3.7 beta 4, and it just sits in memory and does nothing. I have to pgrep -i soniccd and kill it. Installing d3dcompiler_43 in the prefix has no effect.

I made it work after installing the DXSETUP.EXE included within the game directory on the game wineprefix.

I played an entire bad ending run without issues.

Not a fan of this approach though cuz it require running the installation wizard... an scriptable aproach would be preferable, but I'm new to wine...

This is the path for the file:
C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\sonic cd\directx\DXSETUP.exe
(is this exe somehow related to d3dcompiler_43? I got the game running before bumping on the solution posted here)

Yo instale Directx9 por wine y luego copie las carpetas SYSTEM32 Y SYSWOW64 que estan en
home/.wine/drive_c/windows y las puse en home/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/200940/pfx/drive_c/windows

Para ver las carpetas en home hay que hacer Ctrl+H y Listo

Google translate:
I installed Directx9 by wine and then I copied the SYSTEM32 and SYSWOW64 folders that are in
home/.wine/drive_c/windows and put them in home/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/200940/pfx/drive_c/windows

To see the folders in home you have to do Ctrl + H and Done

I ran the Direct X redist installer in the wineprefix and the game started. I haven't tested the video resolution config tool. My DualShock 4 appears to work as well.

[bruno-fs]

Had to reinstall on my PC and I avoided all the manual instalation running this

export STEAMLIBRARY="${HOME}/.steam/steam"
export PROTONPATH="${STEAMLIBRARY}/steamapps/common/Proton 3.7"
export WINEPATH="${PROTONPATH}/dist/bin/wine"
export WINEPREFIX="${STEAMLIBRARY}/steamapps/compatdata/200940/pfx"
winetricks d3dcompiler_43

Can say that even with this guide, I can't initialize Video Setup as it fails to launch .NET framework 4.7.2

Though the normal game runs fine aside from the graphical glitches and the stuttering audio.

[GoncharukN]

I installed winetricks d3dcompiler_43 and the game didn't launch
Than I installed directx which is in game files and the Game launched
But there is another item called video setup which does not work (crashes on startup) and I have no idea what this app does.

I think bundled directx should be installed automatically like it does in most of windows games.

[aqxa1]

As an update, it needs both d3dx9_43 and d3dcompiler_43 (but only the latter in earlier versions of Proton for whatever reason).

So:

WINEPREFIX=(steam library location)/steamapps/compatdata/200940/pfx winetricks d3dx9_43 d3dcompiler_43

[khanson679]

Installing DirectX installer included in the game did the trick for me as well, running WINEPREFIX=.../steamapps/compatdata/200940/pfx wine DXSETUP.exe from the "directx" folder. (I realize now that my system Wine was used in this step, but it doesn't seem to have mattered.) Winetricks does not seem to be necessary. I'm using Proton 4.2.7.

I'm subscribing here since I just got this issue

Can confirm this is still an issue as of Proton 5.13-1
