It hangs now very consistently after I finished the prologue and trying to enter the village.

I reported a bug to them, saying they should make this profile set up skippable in the settings / launch parameters.

Hangs in the game aren't uncommon, so I'd say it's not too stable yet and hopefully will get a lot of bug fixes soon.

Wine 9.22 released noting the 'Wayland driver enabled in default configuration'

It's not there yet, but it's a step in the right direction. I also hope it will eventually help old games that use weird / small resolutions like that. But it still needs some work for that and looks like developers do plan to improve it.

My guess would be it's making some on-line profile (Steam / GOG) but since I'm not using GOG Galaxy, it fails. But it wastes 15 seconds or more on each startup because of that.

Is there some way to skip that "Setting up profile" screen in the beginning? It seems to be doing something and then failing anyway and I have to press Esc to proceed there.

I meant loading a save. I think a workaround is to first exit to the main menu and then load a save. That seems to work more reliably.

One annoying issue is that lading a game half the time hangs it and requires launching the game again.

The game looks cool, but it's crazy demanding. I get around 60-70 fps with RX 7900 XTX at 2560x1440 and max settings (upscaling off).

Wayland is enabled, but not used unless you unset DISPLAY.

Quoting: WMan22What do they mean by "Support for Display Mode Virtualization", is gamescope built into wine now or something?

It means if the game tries to set fullscreen resolution to something low, Wine will scale that to your display resolution. Except now it's not doing it neatly, placing the result not centered and leaving transparent band on the right if aspect ratio doesn't match. I filed a bug about it. Not sure what gamescope is doing, I'm not using it.
