I didn't have any success either playing the itch.io version of Project_BlockChainZ

It looks awesome, but crashes upon launch every time!

I didn't think of adding physx and xact to the overrides, but I have tested with DXVK and stable/staging versions of Wine.  I keep testing with newer versions of Wine and DXVK... one day it should work...

I even tested with GloriousEgrolls fork of Proton, but still crashes.

What is with the Steam and VHSetup.exe part of the script?  Are you sure these are necessary?
