What works

Tested with steam play proton.

It installs and appears to work well, except for (midi) background music.

Other audio effects works (such as menu selection).

What does not

Midi background music doesn't work, but easy to fix (see below).

Workarounds

In terminal run:

WINEPREFIX="/steamapps/compatdata/39150/pfx" winetricks directmusic

Please substitute to the actual path where your steam directory is located, on Arch it's ~/.local/share/Steam/ or ~/.steam/steam

Then run:

WINEPREFIX="/steamapps/compatdata/39150/pfx" winecfg

and set dsound to builtin.
