os? fs? what was the result of changing the proton version? did you try proton-GE or umu? did you run it without a launcher? did you try running it directly through the terminal? what did the steam logs say? what did the heroic logs say? did you install the windows and linux versions separately? if not, did you install it on linux or windows first?

    fs as in file system, you answered ntfs. that's a red flag. what version of ubuntu? so you used lutris too? what was the log output from lutris? so it did start with wine but there was no video? which version of wine? do you have dxvk installed? what was the log output from wine?

    don't run applications installed in another operating system on linux. it will not work. use a separate application instance.

    ntfs is the Windows file system, which can cause problems on linux. I recommend downloading the game again to an ext4 partition, which is compatible with both windows and linux. For me, practically all games work with proton experimental.

    Step-by-step guide:

    • Back up the ntfs partition
    • Convert the ntfs partition into ext4 (you can use GParted)
    • Download Bottles
    • Follow this simple tutorial: https://youtu.be/gme5RSvq8Nc
