Title: Creaks on wine

Hi to everyone! I just got Creaks from GOG and I am trying to run it on wine. Unfortunately, the game starts but freezes at the screen with the name of the game. I have installed dxvk and mf-install, but no difference. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you to all and stay safe. (I am running Ubuntu Mate 20.04 on a Ryzen 2600 with an AMD RX 570 and wine 6.0RC1).

Some reports in ProtonDB suggests trying without DXVK.

Terminal output from Wine and the game might be useful to spot something amiss.

I was running the game through PlayOnLinux and it was freezing. I tried running the game using the terminal to capture the output (like whizse suggested) and it ran! So thanks whizse. But why it freezes when I launch it through PlayOnLinux? Go figure...
