Gives a "ProcessFailureDump.dmp" file, mostly unreadable, fails immediately.
Not even the prelaunch splash art shows up ;(

Collisions with a large PCU count reduce the frame rate to where it can take multiple seconds to render a single frame.
After a few minutes of playing, collision damage stops occurring.

I had to upgrade my kernel to 6.12 and mesa to be able to play. My previous submission shows the versions that didn't work for me.

The pre-alpha release of Space Engineers 2 works great out of the box on Debian 12 with the propriatary NVidia driver (550.135 at the time of writing) for the RTX 3070 Ti. The game starts and is playable as it is advertised in it's pre-alpha release. The game should feature raytracing support but I could not get it to work, I checked my own setup with Cyberpunk 2077 and raytracing works with my setup. This will probably eventually get fixed at some point during the development of SE2. The provided proton launch options are optional, on a Debian(based) setup with recent NVidia GPU drivers the game should run without. I tried these options in an attempt to get raytracing to work. Keep in mind that although the performance is excellent now, this may change in the future when more gets added to the game in later release stages, especially on setups using RTX 2060 or earlier. My system holds V-sync (75hz/fps) with extreme graphics preset. Check the roadmap and more info on the official Space Engineers 2 website if you want to learn more.

If you have any internal GPU the game/DX could get confused and select the wrong one. Used 'MESA_VK_DEVICE_SELECT=list vulkaninfo' to get a list of my cards and put the right name in launch options
the game was not playable before I added the launch option. It crashed after I moved the caracter a few meters.
RADV_DEBUG=llvm %command%
some stutters in medium with above 100FPS
The game is still in alpha so a few minor things is still sketchy.
game-performance %command%
The entire PC freezes if the graphics are set to anything other than high
Since only works in high, it is recommended to add the gamemoderun parameter (and game-performance for cachyos)
Raytracing doesn't seem to work (option is grayed out)

For the users that have SELinux enabled. it will prevent the game from launching. disable it temporairly or make a SELinux policy
Does not even launch not even a crash.
Tried a few different proton versions and some of the fixes already listed
Trying to launch the game by pressing play shows launching before showing the green play after a few secconds.

My previous issue with the game freezing and crashing my pc afterwards when one loads in a world and moves has been solved through this launch option a saw from another report. RADV_DEBUG=llvm %command%

I manually installed dotnet 8 in linux and in wine itself, did that help? I do not know.
if raytracing and the better anti-aliasing are not something you need to enjoy a game then it will be perfectly fine to play
if i switch from FXAA to FSR for better Anti-Aliasing the game will crash for me
Raytracing is not availible at the moment because the game thinks the system is to old/slow and displays a warning at the start, might be a thing with NVIDIA's drivers
Game claimed 3090/5900X/64gb of ram was not enough and defauled to low settings. Everything manually switched to highest settings with no problems and 150+ fps.

Upon loading a world, any movement would promptly crash the game and the entire DE when set to high or above. The launch options I used fixed the problem entirely.
Ryzen 7800X3D, Radeon 79000XTX, Garuda Linux with all installed updates. Worked out of the box, no tricks needed. Had one crash over the course of about 3 hours.
Crashes after moving after loading of the world
When i try to move after loading into the world, the game freezes, a few seconds later my Screen goes black (maybe GPU crash)? and when the screen comes back on my whole PC is frozen and the still frame of both of my monitors have weird Red/Green/Blue artifacts all over.

Set texture quality to "High"
The game crashes when texture quality is set to anything other than "High", the other graphical settings can be set to low.
The game launches and I see the splash screen, but crashes.
Presented with the "Application has crashed!" dialog. "Unable to initialize the game. Please see minimum requirements, try installing latest graphics and audio drivers or update Windows. Thank you for your understanding." before exiting.
You need to force the GPU to stay on max power and change some gamesettings.

only minor lagspike when saving or crashing ships at very high speeds into walls, that is to be expected however as it is alot of physics and the game is in alpha.
My current settings are
Proton Experimental(bleeding-edge)
Graphics Preset to High
VSync on
The game does hitch a little. There will need to be a layout change for controls.
Stumbled across this info about running on High from a post on Reddit by the user

It works until you explore any amount on demo platforms. Havent tried the space demo.
I beleve this is mainly becuase of it being in an Alpha build state. As this runs fine on my Desktop.
I've tried the following
Proton Experimental
GE-Proton9-23
Proton Experimental (Bleeding Edge)
Ruducing in game Resolution to 640x480 under display menu
Turned off VSync
VSync
VSync Variable Refresh Rate
I have also tried
limiting FPS to 30
TDP Limit
Allow Tearing
Game still crashes after leaving inital spawn. Runs really well up untill that point.
gamemoderun %command%
runs out of the box for me and and somehow performs better than the first one.
Raytraced performance is probably not the greatest, but that's just general Mesa graphics stack not having the most mature raytracing support quite yet. Overall it just worked and felt stable enough. (Though this is from the very first alpha release, so things might change and performance issues might also be completely alpha-related)
There ain't much to the game quite yet, but what is there works fine. Not sure how it should perform, so I won't speak much about performance - it does chug a little when there's a lot on the screen but that might just be the RT performance of my AMD card being subpar.
When starting the game I get a warning that my hardware is below the minimum requirements even though the game runs great at max settings. The raytracing option is greyed out.

Experienced a single crash in playing.
Crashed display manager with Proton 9.0-4
Works great with GE . Occassional hitches but that is probably due the alpha state
Freezes after a few seconds of gameplay
Everything is fine in menu, and performs well for a few seconds, but then it completely freezes
Ate all my ram and had swap for desert
-windowed
I have 32 gigs of ram, and after several minutes of the game showing the splash screen without booting, I checked btop to find that ram utilization of space engineers 2 alone had climbed to 29.9GB. before I could stop the process, everything froze completely. Guess I'll have to wait a bit to try this again. :(
It also may have been trying to use the intel graphics instead of my amd card, but that shouldn't have stopped it from booting I wouldn't think.
So far the text that is hard to read is the Alpha watermark in the upper left corner.
No data from my Windows machine.
My engineer gets to take 3 steps or so toward the red ship and then the game crashes. Also, so far, game saves are not backed up to the cloud.
Tried all the solutions I could think of and even looked at keens discord for help. but looks like peeps are working on it
none worked
Patience I guess
Does not seem to play nicely with arch derivatives.
Tried both xorg and wayland on EndeavourOS.
