Overall the game plays fine, but it uses way more power than it should and will quickly become slow and heat your PC

Unplayable at startup for about a minute, resolved itself afterwards.

Significant Bugs:Yes

A bit laggy on startup but after a moment it works fine.

Using additional ships appears to be broken in general - not Proton related.

Needs a minute to settle after launch, runs well afterwards - biggest issue is that you can't select other ships
