Changes:
- Fixed New World not starting after a recent game update.

This follows on from the update on July 8th, where Valve fixed a whole bunch of other issues.

After the starter screen (with the settings) it crashes, shows a window with some error and closes. The next game, Arkham City works fine, but I had never managed to get Asylum to run, no matter which version of Proton I'm using. This have been like this since the appearance of Proton.

Can you be more specific? I don't remember if I had to do anything, but maybe I did... I have played Arkham Asylum long time ago, and last time I played it was on Steam Deck and that was also year ago.

There seems to be one advice repeating even on Deck

Aura: Fates of The Ages! Now that's a blast from the past. That was one of my favorite point-and-click games as a kid.
I've always wanted to play the sequel (The Sacred Rings) but sadly its publisher went under and I could never find a digital copy of it.

I just copied it from the protondb, you are probably right. The command will tell you how to use it.

I get tempted to try New World every now and then. Anyone put some good time into it (20+ hours)? Although, with BG3 around the corner, I won't be starting an MMO anytime soon.

I wasn't using protontricks, so I finally cave and installed it. The command Xpander gave (protontricks 35140 d3dx9 d3dcompiler_43) did the trick, the game finally started. But there was a small catch: since I had my set of flight sticks plugged, the game considered them as a gamepad, so other gamepads didn't work, only the Steam Controller. I unplugged them and finally I could enjoy the thing on a real gamepad.
