I dont know what game native is. Is that some kind of emulator or something? Was the game file from the google play store or was it an .apk downloaded somewhere else?

I see this is an android handheld, game native or game hub is simply a way to play pc games on android, so this isnt the apk version but the steam version, so far this is the first kairosoft game that I faced this issue

The underlying issue stems from running the Steam/PC release of Basketball Club Story through an Android translation or compatibility layer (GameNative / GameHub, which utilizes Box64/FEX and Wine/Proton under the hood).
Kairosoft PC ports are wrapped mobile runtimes that rely on specific Windows media components and direct audio/video codecs for their splash and loading sequences, which frequently hang when translated to ARM.
Several adjustments typically resolve this hang:
- Install Windows Media & DirectPlay Dependencies: In the container or prefix settings (Winetricks/Wine configuration within the launcher), install directplay, devenum, and wmp10 / mfplat. Kairosoft intro screens often freeze waiting for a Windows Media foundation callback.
- Switch the Wine/Proton Build: Toggle between different runner versions (e.g., GE-Proton, Wine-Staging, or standard Proton). Wine builds lacking gstreamer or media codec patches get stuck on the animated loading screen (the basketball bounce 1/2 step).
- Toggle DXVK / D3D Translation: In the container settings, test switching the 3D renderer between DXVK (Vulkan) and WineD3D (OpenGL), or cycle the Turnip/Adreno GPU driver version.
- Skip Initial Input/Overlay Hooking: Disable any in-game overlays or custom controller hooks inside GameNative for this title, as Kairosoft games can block engine loops if virtual gamepad focus isn't recognized during boot.
- Practical Alternative (Native Android): Because this is an Android device (AYN Thor), running the native Android APK version of Basketball Club Story from Google Play eliminates the Windows-on-ARM emulation overhead and controller compatibility issues entirely.
