Works great. No Proton needed
Haven't noticed any problems
Game appears to require GLIBC_2.38 which my distro (LMDE 6) does not have
This can be observed when trying to run "Game.Game" in the game folder from the command line. Otherwise, when launching the game from Steam, nothing appears to happen at all. Pretty unfortunate that there is a native Linux version of this game but that I can't even run it on a fully-updated and actively-maintained distribution. Would need to wait for an OS version upgrade for a glibc upgrade.
FPS is bit unstable from time to time; unstable as in Frame dropping for quick seconds (in range of 40-60) but nothing too severe that would greatly affect the game but its worth noting
This game just got out of Early Access back on September 30 (a week ago basically; been in early access for 2 years), so bugs are rapidly being patched at the time of writing this report.
Previously (like a few days ago), the native version was fucked, couldn't even boot it up at all; have to forced this game to uses Proton and picked "Steam Deck / Proton Exclusive" as startup, but now it seems that the Native version (at least on SteamOS/Steam Deck) is working now so I currently marking this as "Out of Box experience" for Steam Deck users.
They actually ported it to Linux.
Stuttering when loading audio
This is probably the last report I'm posting on ProtonDB about this game. But since I started my tinkering around with this a few months ago, the devs went out of their way to port the game to a new engine with native Linux support. Obviously they did it in preparation for the full release of the game & for Steam Deck verification, but all of the issues mentioned before are now seemingly solved. The only problem I encounter while playing now is audio stuttering when loading dialogue but it runs so much infintely better than it did ever before. Bravo to the devs!
Install dxvk through protontricks.
Stutters when you do anything, from moving to selecting menu options, to reading text. Even booting the game up takes up to 5 minutes, regardless if you're on a HDD or SSD.
Would crash within a minute if you end up staying idle in the main menu when it tries to loop the main menu BGM.
The OOTB experience for this is terrible, regardless of what kind of Proton version you are using. It will just not work. Using protontricks, I installed dxvk after talking with the developer of the game on the Steam forums for a brief time but that only got me very limited success. The game does boot but it stutters like mad & the game is generally not very playable. My guess is that it's a GPU caching issue but more investigating needs to be done. Swapping my GPU from Nvidia to AMD helped alleviate the stuttering but it's still noticeable and unplayable.
Doesn't boot
Shame that the first report on this game on ProtonDB is a negative one but unfortunately, no matter what Proton version I try (tried: 7.0-6, 8.0-5, 9.0-2, GE-Proton9-7), no matter if I try to force it to run gamemode, no matter what launch options I use, all the game does is show a brief black screen before immediately closing.
