Hello @taisph, looks like this game would benefit from support for Media Foundation maturing.

<Workaround removed by moderator>
Run the game normally.

Can confirm that it requires Media Foundation.

the latest custom proton build from @GloriousEggroll gets me to the main menu. however, the controller support in that build is 100% non existent and i find the game very uncomfortable to play with mouse and keyboard.
