Looking through the logs, seems like its another game that needs HLSL_IR_LOOP like #6152 and #6324

Any ETA on a fix or workaround?

My solution was just installing DXVK using ProtonTricks.
After that, it should just work.

I tried manually installing DXVK via the instructions found here ( https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk?tab=readme-ov-file ) on the game's prefix since I prefer to launch games via command line with umu-launcher but I still get the error. :/

The version of gamemaker studio that this game (and likely many others) use requires native d3dcompiler_43.dll. Install it into your wine prefix with winetricks d3dcompiler_43 and it will then launch properly (assuming DXVK is also installed in the prefix already).
