Worked fine on Proton 8.0.5 but needed the tweeks listed by Martenzo(run $ protontricks --gui, select the default wineprefix and run wincfg. In the Graphics tab, enable virtual desktop and set a suitable resolution. In the Applications tab, set the default windows version to Windows XP.) The "Allow CD Music" to "FALSE" tweek was not needed. Other Proton versions worked but with several graphical glitches.

Ran fine in Proton 7.0.4 and current Experimental, Proton 8.0.2 crashed on exit to desktop
Works out of the box. I'm loving this game, a true classic. Is this the best 4x game off all time?
When I click outside the in game pop up windows, they dissapear and the game freezes. Then, I need to minimize and maximize again the game for the popup appears again. No other issues then this during the game
Works perfectly after three tweaks:
First, edit "/steamapps/common/se4/Data/Settings.txt" and change "Allow CD Music" to "FALSE".
Second, run $ protontricks --gui, select the default wineprefix and run wincfg.
In the Graphics tab, enable virtual desktop and set a suitable resolution. I tested 1440x900 (which worked) and 1920x1080 (which did not, for some reason).
In the Applications tab, set the default windows version to Windows XP.
This configuration works with both the vanilla game, as well as the DevNullGold mod that adds a fair amount of content and QoL tweaks to the game.

Needs installing quartz with winetricks and setting virtual desktop with winecfg. Also needs editing /se4/Data/Settings.txt" and changing "Allow CD Music" to "FALSE".

non fatal error pops up when pressing start "no stream can be found with specified attributes" then when i press quick play ingame to start a game well, the whole desktop enviroment crashes i think, i get logged outx


Keep getting popup error about access violation; closing a window minimizes game; sometimes the window closes leaving the process running in background



(With outdated Video Drivers) Tends to freeze (Between 5-15 min), and break the Desktop environment in a way that requires me to go down to a lower run level, and kill the process to use my computer again.


I didn't test multiplayer, but I can verify that single player works without issues. There's an old issue from Wine where the background music can't properly initialize & throws errors everywhere since it expects a physical CD in the drive for that, but it can be solved by navigating to where the game was installed, opening "./se4/Data/Settings.txt" and changing "Allow CD Music" to "FALSE". Save it, then you can start the game normally without any issues.
