At the moment, to the get the application running and (mostly) behaving correctly, Winetricks needs to be ran with these components:
WINEPREFIX=[path/to/desired/prefix] winetricks -q dotnet48 arial d3dcompiler_47 wmp11
--- NOTE: Testing this REQUIRES that you either own the game and save data. ---
After this is done, run the program in the prefix and you'll get to a settings configuration screen (if the program tells you that there's an update (as it will definitely do if you have an active internet connection), tell it no because that (obviously) changes the version this report is about.
Once at the settings screen, there will be a folder path field that asks you to select the game's save data location because it cannot auto-detect the save path due to this likely being a separate prefix than Proton's - since we're using vanilla Wine. Point this path towards:
<Steam-folder>/steamapps/compatdata/544750/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/SoulcaliburVI/Saved/SaveGames/<some_id_number>/GAME/
Once settings configuration is done (select whatever applies to you, like DLC, and leave the defaults unless you have reason to change them), close the settings window for first-time setup to occur.
After this is done, a new window should appear replacing the initial one and it will likely have a pop-up or to about things; just say no or otherwise close those. (I personally just clicked "okay" for the first one because I was curious and backtracked the decision after I saw it was getting into a topic I wasn't too familiar with.)
Here, the window will have a "header" options (buttons aligned to the top of the window) and two side panels for managing characters both already present in the save file(s) and existing remotely for importing to your save(s). However, this is where a major issue with the program arises: the save files weren't loaded by the program properly.
To my understanding if I had to guess, this might be due to the program trying to decrypt the saves for editing and it may have somehow failed(?) but I don't personally know exactly what's going on here that it can't read currently existing save data to show character creations that are already present. Additionally, near the top, the program claims that "No Users" were found.
Until this is resolved, this bug makes the application almost useless.

The log I am attaching is of a broader test of the application, where I tested whether the application functioned correctly, but the related output from this part is part of the log as I had done this process in the same run.
