Game broken with Proton after recent change to only support Windows 10 version?

[wordsfrommyface]

Game used to work flawlessly with Proton compatibility in linux (this would apply to Steamdeck as well), but been trying to get it to allow for proper controls and not have other wonkiness today and seems different compatibility modes and other things I try just don't work, when it used to be mostly flawless out of the box.

Seeing this on the store page now "Starting January 1st, 2024, the Steam Client will only support Windows 10 and later versions." So did they update the steam client with some new version that breaks compatibility, and ruin the old version I already had installed?

Alright, seems to be working better after trying some more things. For anyone running into same problem, I had to go way back to Proton 5.0-10 and use launch commands
PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%
to get this working again.

Hey, does this make the cutscenes show up right? I just got the game and the newer versions either didn't run at all or the cutscenes were almost unwatchable.

I play this on my steam deck and have had no issues whatsoever. Installed months ago and it still runs fine, no issues with cut scenes or any control issues. Just played yesterday and all is fine. Using default proton version on steam deck and no winetricks. I wonder if proton version changing or tweaks made for other games might cause your issues?

Thank you very much, I have had an oled steam deck since February 2024 and the game is working fine for me but from time to time, like today, the sound disappears and this afternoon I no longer knew what to do to make it work, but with fixing it, the game is doing much better than I expected. iva before THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
