Symptoms
Game loads up to the title screen and main menu perfectly fine, but crashes as soon as you try to start a new game with a vertex shader error. Game dev is also aware of the issue and is looking into a way of fixing it if possible, if not, releasing a version without the shaders causing crashes on proton. Game seems to work if you use protontricks to install d3dcompiler_43 and d3dx9_43 or using Proton GE which has the fixes by default. steam-658150.log
Reproduction
Start the game up, go through the menu and try and start a new game, you won't get into the overworld before it dies.
Hello @waspennator, these look like some lines of interest in your log:

It seems to be a similar issue going on with Carrie's Order up, The Joylancer: Legendary Motor Knight, and Bete Grise from dread x collection 3 and probably others.
Game has regressed from 8.0-5 to latest proton Experimental build. Game now renders as a display of random assets on the screen, some showing up, but mostly being pixel garbage and no longer able to navigate the menu.
Tried it with 8.0-5 and it still crashes when you try and start a new game.
Hello @waspennator, these also look like some lines of interest in your Proton log:
err:d3dcompiler:D3DCompile2 Failed to compile shader, vkd3d result -4.
err:d3dcompiler:D3DCompile2 Shader log:
err:d3dcompiler:D3DCompile2 memory:237:13: E5005: Function "ceil" is not defined.
err:d3dcompiler:D3DCompile2
That is likely fixed when https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/vkd3d/-/merge_requests/417 in brought in from upstream.

I took a look at this, and found it to be a DXVK regression. I reported it on their tracker here: https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/issues/3888
In regards to the error window when starting a new game, we are currently investigating that. Thank you for both reports. :)
Seems like a DXVK pr already got pushed in to fix the visual regression. That was fast.
