1. Start the game once for proton to set up the WINEPREFIX
2. Open up a terminal and run command: protontricks 8080 --gui (considering that protontricks is installed)

Just fyi:
I recently added Kane & Lynch: Dead Men (8080) support to my steamtinkerlaunch which takes care that

• GFWL directories are removed,
• WLIDSvcM.exe is killed
• xliveless is installed into the gamedir (warns if not, and optionally installs it if files are provided - no automatic download)
• d3dx9_31 and d3dx9_34 are installed
• PROTON_NO_ESYNC and PROTON_NO_FSYNC are set to 1

TL;DR: the game works ootb with stl (when xliveless files are found)
