40Hz / 40 FPS cap
Sharp drops when destroying large buildings, though that is common on other hardware as well. Using a 40 or even 30 FPS cap is recommended to maximize battery. At 40 I got 4 hours of playtime at max settings.

I'll try it without experimental Proton at some point.
Works good (but fullscreen only both Steam and DX9 versions).
Only fullscreen. Try to change resolution or set window mode causes game exit.
Played with Proton 6.3-8.
For window mode try DX9 version with Proton 4.11-13.
You'd never know you're playing on Linux
Runs just as it did on Windows. (Didn't try multiplayer.)
Multiplayer doesn't work

Steam version fullscreen
DirectX version windowed
Steam version played Proton 5.0-7 / 4.11-13 with command params"PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%"
DirectX 9 version played Proton 4.11-13 out-of-box windowed.
Works out of the box.


Platinum only in the most literal sense - it runs with zero issues - unlike the remastered version. Playability, however, is not great; it hitches and bogs even with heavily lowered settings, and destroying even one building slashes framerate, which in a destruction-centered game effectively makes the title almost unplayable. The performance delta between Proton and Windows for this title is abysmal.


Played through the whole game very comfortably. Performance is great. The only issue is a weird graphical glitch - whenever you look straight up at the sky, you see a black area. This isn't really a big issue, since you don't need to look at this angle very often, but it was sometimes annoying when fighting flyers.
I tried various tweaks (including running the game in DX9 mode), but none of them helped. The Re-Mars-tered Edition has this issue as well.

Installs and runs great! No problems I can think of. What a great game, too.

The performance is choppy when blowing lots of things up but otherwise runs perfectly


Works out of the box on Ubuntu MATE 18.04.2 LTS and Logitech F710 works properly.


Installed and started right up. Dropped the graphics down to medium for decent framerate. Played through the tutorial and first mission without any problems.

Game play was perfect. Cut scenes / instructions did have dips down to 1 fps at times.

works great. performance is a little low but that might be due to old hardware


Runs Perfectly


Works great, sound and all. No changes made.


My whole experience went great. The only thing I did to improve the framerate was turn off shadows and turn down anti-aliasing. Being in a pile of rubble with those settings will kill your framerate. (I remember this sort of being the norm on Windows many years ago, so I guess that shouldn't be a point against it.) But anyways, it runs great and didn't crash the entire 10+ hours I spent playing it in the last week. That's pretty much the best performance anybody could hope for. If that's not platinum, then it's gold at the very least.



sound glitches, able to change resolution, fps on 1280x720 is much lower than win10



Needs Xact installed to get sound and there is a black circle in the sky box above the player



Audio crackling
