Hello @thoughtorgan, from your log, these look like a couple lines of interest:

Unknown heap type: #Schema

* Assertion at /vagrant/mono/mono/metadata/metadata.c:1154, condition `index < meta->heap_strings.size' not met, function:mono_metadata_string_heap,  index = 0x0000c602 size = 0x00000001 meta=Z:\home\squelch\.local\share\Steam\steamapps\common\Superfighters Deluxe\Superfighters Deluxe.exe 

The game's depots hint that this is an XNA4 game, but it looks like the game doesn't get far enough in the Proton log to confirm that.

That sounds really familiar. I remember having issues with the game back in 2014 on windows because a dependency with "x" in it wasn't installing right. How would I go about fixing this?

Attached is my launch log after running
winetricks --force xna40

Game runs now
but map editor is still broken
protontricks 855860 annihilate -q
WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/855860/pfx/ winetricks dotnet45

make sure to run it with wine 7.2 and proton 7.0

[TheHighGroundWins]

Currently best guaranteed fix is to use proton 5.0 and then install dotnet45 on it.

Works on both desktop Linux and SteamDeck.
