Moving this from the previous ticket (#1259) in a separate comment section, for better isolation of my experiments so far:

It seems there's something with the Launcher.exe

I tried to manually run it via protontricks, and I got an error message:

(sorry I don't know how to set it to english, but it translates as: Path cannot be found --or something like that.)

Furthermore, I then manually launched a b3.exe (again with Protontricks) which is found under Client/b3.exe, it then starts but only until the loading screen, language is now Russian (its not respecting steam's english setting), and it's erroring out with xml not found and such at that loading screen I attached as screenshot below. I manually copied over those to my home folder where it was looking for, but then never progressed further, the loading screen was still stuck, just like that:

Then I was like, maybe it's in the wrong starting location, since Z: is always bound to / by default, so I launched winecfg again from protontricks (from the prefix ofcourse), and bound my Z: to /home/username/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Blitzkrieg3 in the hope that it's gonna find all the stuffs its looking for, then retried with Launcher.exe and b3.exe but to no avail. My wild guess is that there's something wrong with the pathing.

Hello @krixkrax1, these look like some lines of interest from your Proton log:

Hello @krixkrax1, these look like some lines of interest from your Proton log:

Hi thanks for quick responding. What sould I try with this, or do you need any further logs? I'm here at your disposal :) Is there a specific version of Proton or a launch option you recommend to bypass this, or is this something that needs a patch in the game's code?

@kisak-valve

[krixkrax1]

Hi @kisak-valve Can I have an update of an ETA for the fix please? I bought the game but then I might refund it to Steam if this takes long as I can't play it currently :(
