Reinstalling the Steam from Arch Linux package, and installing from it.
When I played Amnesia: The Bunker under Flatpak installed Steam, the framerate was debastatingly bad, but after I reinstalled Steam itself from Arch Linux package, and reinstalled the game, framerate has been improved dramatically.
It sounds like a very stupid thing that I should realize faster, but yeah. I'm warned to fellow Linux noobs Unless specific circum stance; DON'T INSTALL STEAM FROM FLATPAK.

often stuck in 60-90 fps. I just solved it by dropping down Shadow Quality from "Highest" into "Medium"
I wonder if HPL3 Engine is bit grumpy mess. It had really poor framerate on my Rig. That said, the issue I mentioned has nothing to do with Proton itself. (Switching between Proton Experimental and Proton GE fixed nothing)

Game runs great - if you have the bravery to play it
I've played 4 hours and haven't had a single problem so far. Wonderful game.

A modern survival horror masterpiece
I notice that sometimes your player model's hands can disappear or displace in rare occurences, this usually happens when using your light however. Though it can rarely happen when reloading your weapon. Unsure if it's the game itself or a proton issue, but it's extremely minor and your hands will appear as normal swiftly after it happens.
Aside from the hands issue I noted, there's no issues to report whatsoever. I haven't had any bugs, crashes or any other kind of instability or anomaly to speak of, as far as I can tell it's perfectly on par with playing the game on Windows.
Lots of black shapes will blink all over rapidly, as though the shadows or lights are not rendering properly. Blinks so much often that it could probably give someone a seizure.
My absolute favorite horror game. Runs perfectly on Linux trough Proton! Please play this please it's awesome please

Plays just as well as the Windows version!
Amnesia The Bunker is one of my comfort games. Having beat the game several times both on Linux and Windows, I can confirm this game works flawlessly on Linux.

Only very slightly
Slight stuttering when entering a new area, but no freezes or crashes
gamemoderun %command%
Like other frictional games, Perfect
Works perfectly out of the box
Worked perfectly out of the box from start to finish.

Works perfectly out of the box (played the whole game)
I had no graphical glitches

One of the best from the Amnesia franchise
This one I ended up playing till the end. A bit addicting. You can see the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmJywiZREfk but basically it is at the end.

Works perfect with Proton Experimental 2023/11/30.

The game ran well. I completed the game on hard and shell shocked difficulty with only one crash.
The game crashed once.

Looks like objects were randomly teleporting and heavely stetching in random frames, I understood this because some of dragable objects are disappeared when this bug appeared
Also, game, for some reason, wont launch through steam, but launches as it should when i directly start game executable through terminal

Teleporting objects all over the screen really distracts, this game is playable, though i cant name this gameplay as pleasent
It looked like trees and other objects were randomly teleporting around players camera, but it weren't for all frames, about 10% of them, and also, not every object were teleporting, only some fraction of them at a time
RTX 4060-mobile is slow
also, for me game only launched through terminal, any attempts to launch it through steam failed, and when i was launching game, it not mattered if i used wine or proton, grafical artifacts were still present
Fonctionne Parfaitement
Played through the whole game, no problems. Worked out-of-the box with Proton 8.0-3.

No Launch Options
Shadow flickering was pretty common on the hands and certain objects when exploring the bunker, that is however no longer the case as of recent driver updates.

Just avoid using the steam overlay, and you should be fine.
Opening a browser window in the Steam overlay causes the framerate to drop significantly -- the more you do in the browser, the worse the performance gets. Accidentally opening one of the steam page, and closing it immediately dropped the performance from solid 60 FPS to something like 40 with weird lag spikes; looking things up in a search engine, and opening a few results can get it well below 1 FPS (only updating the screen once every 5 to 10 seconds).
Game works out of the box without any issues on Proton Experimental/Proton 8.0.
Runs great so far. Will update if there is more trouble later on.
There was some pretty disruptive tree artifacting in one outside scene, and some minor artifacting when looking at "special" rocks up close.
My whole system has crashed twice so far, but I expect more to do with my aging system than this game in particular.
Works out of the box
Game worked out of the box without any issues for my full playthrough. I did not try subsequent playthroughs or custom stories.

The game runs great from start to finish! Apart from the lock screen after focus-lose, I'm not sure, the stated problems are Linux-specific.
After playing for a while, if the game loses focus, the OS (Mint 21) locks the computer, as if I was AFK while playing the game. Doesn't always happen, couldn't figure out what is different during cases.
The "Smooth Particles" graphics option heavily drops the framerate. Don't know, whether this is rooted in DXVK or it's like this originally. Disabling it yielded a stable 60 fps (with occasional first-time shader-compilation hitches).

No audio.
Runs perfectly out of the box with default Proton
The demo runs great!

Just lowered the graphics from the highest (which runs great surprisingly) to Mid or low settings
My hands are buggy. Like the textures are jumping around. Nothing major.

Demo test: Seems like an out of the box platinum experience. (Didn't play through the whole demo to avoid spoilers).
HPL Engine games are usually platinum Out of the Box experiences (better than native ports, actually). Based on my experience, the full game will uphold that trend.
