Symptoms

Game boots and shows the Koei-Tecmo splash screen before fading to black indefinitely. I found a similar issue with the first Sigma from 4 years ago here, but they mentioned having sound, which I do not, and the fixes mentioned did nothing for me. If it's relevant, a successful boot on Windows shows art of the main character Ryu before reaching the K-T logo, and I do not see Ryu via Proton.

Reproduction

Issue happens at launch.
