Installing was a little touch and go as I installed it with ProtonGE 9-25. It installed DirectX, then crash, then it would update then crash, then it gave me a out of date video driver which I ignored, then it would crash after about a minute. It was the same for Proton expermental and 9.04. When I installed ProtonGE 8-32 the rest was smooth sailing. I played until the first area with no crashes.
- Just consider Proton GE 8-32 the offical Proton for Secret World.
change to GE-Proton8-32 (use protonupQt to download)
Works nicely with Glorious Eggroll
Tried to run, Update Manager Failed
Immediately closed the game before it could even run, the "Update Manager" failed, and asked me to send a report to Funcom.
overlooked MMO, great story and plotlines. fantastic performance using current glorious eggroll proton versions. use protonup to install GE
I usually keep Glorious Eggroll versions updated to current and game hasnt failed to start.
havent tried other versions of proton except GE
With Gloriuos Eggroll 8.13 this game works out of the box. surprising because I haven't ever been able to run this game on Linux until now
flawless playing on GE 8.13
Setting compatibility to GE-Proton 8-13 kills the need for tinkering. The game runs smoothly out of the box, I haven't experienced any crashes or stuttering, FPS is steady.

Works better on full screen than windowed
Once you figure out a good button layout the game is very playable, the mouse look controls translate very well to a two joystick layout.

protontricks 215280 d3dx9_43 d3dx11_43 d3dcompiler_43
Launch the game from desktop mode and in windowed. DO NOT use fullscreen. The amd driver notification window can be ignored.
Fullscreen does not work. In windowed, left click the window and select keep above others.
Start by going to desktop mode and do everything there. Use proton tricks from the discover store. select d3dx9_43, d3dx11_43, d3dcompiler_43 in proton tricks. In the games launch optons in steam add --dx11 to force dx11 on launch. Use proton 4.11-13 in compatability on steam. From the first launch menu in options select windowed, Do not use fullscreen, it will blackscreen on launch and be difficult to exit. After clicking start game ignore the update driver popup by moving the window then selecting no. When the game launches left click the window and then click keep above otheres. You have to launch and play the game from desktop mode.
--dx11
protontricks 215280 -q --force d3dx9_43 d3dx11_43 d3dcompiler_43
Works better on full screen than windowed
in addition to: protontricks 215280 -q --force d3dx9_43 d3dx11_43 d3dcompiler_43 you need to choose older version proton 4.11-13 also in the compatibility you have to add the tag: --dx11...Dx9 crashes at launch.
Aside from buggy in-game browser, I did not experience any significant difference from Windows.
protontricks 215280 -q --force d3dx9_43 d3dx11_43 d3dcompiler_43
In-game browser is buggy. Initial video tutorial caused game to crash.
Experiences lag and choppy graphics in Agartha.
Adding the flags "-q --force" to protontricks was necessary to get the game to run. Starting the game with Proton Experimental caused the launcher to not display buttons, update progress and other information. This works with Proton 4.11-13. I was able to set the game to run with dx11 from launcher's options.
protontricks 215280 -q --force d3dx9_43 d3dx11_43 d3dcompiler_43
During the character select screen minor artifacts on the characters were shown
Initially ran dx9 and game was choppy in agartha.
Tried dx11 and graphical glitches were gone and seemed to run a little better.
launcher doesnt show
game starts the launcher, it shows in taskbar and plays sound, but i cant maximize the launcher or interact withit in any way, tried proton experimental, the 2 versions before that, and the ge 6-15 and ge7-9 the only graphic showing is when i hover over the taskbar icon for the launcher but then it only shows a fragmented desktop wallpaper
Couldn't get past the launcher
I installed the components several people has mentioned, but when I try to launch the game, it only opens the launcher with no buttons on it, a plain image. I also tried switching to Proton 4.11-13, but that made it worse, as now even the launcher would not launch, instead giving a "send report" error.
Game didn't install whatsoever. Tried all the Proton's I could, nothing worked.
Even though the newest Proton did bring up the launcher and made a noise, it didn't have any buttons whatsoever, but when I did find the Launch button, it immediately closed the launcher. I downloaded d3dx9_43 d3dx11_43 d3dcompiler_43 via protontricks for each proton version I tried.
Finally playable after months of tinkering and reading through reviews. LevitatingBusinessMan's review was really helpful. Thanks!
d3dx9_43 d3dx11_43 d3dcompiler_43
Just in case you're using an external sound card: Switching to "Floating point audio stream" in the troubleshooting audio section in the game fixed the problem. It worked with my normal internal sound card without any problems.
Installed: d3dx9_43 d3dx11_43 d3dcompiler_43
The launcher showed fine for me. At first I was only able to run via DX9 (switch between DX9/DX11 in the laucnher options). Later I got a few crashes in a certain level, and I turned DX11 back on, then the game started running just fine. DX9 shows some artifacting with lighting, DX11 doesn't.
dotnet35sp1 dotnet40 d3dx9_43 d3dx11_43 d3dcompiler_43 vcrun2015 dxvk Proton 4.11-13
There are no enemy models in some places.
Needs winetricks/protontricks d3dx9_43 d3dx11_43 d3dcompiler_43
DX9 version has bad artifacting, but the DX11 version runs without artifacts
Graphics card and display resolution are not detected properly. You can ignore the graphics card warning and change the resolution once to correct this.
WineD3D is buggy when running this game, DX9 mode will run it but with artifacts, in DX11 mode the game crashes at startup.
Lasuncher needs to run with PROTON_USE_WINED3D, game needs to be configured tu use DX9 then. The Launcher will crash without winetricks installing d3dx9 d3dcompiler_42 d3dcompiler_43 d3dcompiler_47. With DXVK the launcher wont show its window.
I have tried many "fixes" listed on the reports here. There are none that work for me. I'm not sure if it is an amdgpu driver issue?
Game doesn't launch. Installs fine.
download dx 2010 from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109, after that open the exe file and unpack the dx installation, after that run this command in terminal:
WINEPREFIX="absolute_path to your_steam_library/steamapps/compatdata/215280/pfx" wine absolute_path_to_unpacked_dx_files/DXSETUP.exe
you need to launch the game once to enable the prefix
Installs fine but won't work
Tried a bunch of different proton version including GE, tried installing the dx and so on as mentioned earlier, and maually install dxvk, but nothing seems to work
Tried everything, nothing worked.
Tried all the suggest winetricks, protontricks and dx files listed below, will not even launch.
New tutorial, fogot to add dxvk.
You have to use Proton 4.11-12 !!!
You have to run this command in your terminal window. (Make sure you edit the path to your 215280 prefix I have my games installed on /mnt/HDD so edit this part to reflect your install)
WINEPREFIX=~/mnt/HDD/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/215280/pfx winetricks dotnet35sp1 dotnet40 d3dx9_43 d3dx11_43 d3dcompiler_43 vcrun2015 dxvk
Download directx_Jun2010_redist from the web and move it to the C drive of this installation. Open protontricks select secret worlds (215280) open the explorer to access the wine installation and run the directx_Jun2010_redist.exe inside the prefix.
This should fix all your problems.

Able to get to launcher but not game.
I was able to get to the launcher after this winetricks trick: WINEPREFIX=~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/215280/pfx winetricks d3dx9_43 d3dx11_43 d3dcompiler_43 dxvk vcrun2015 When the game starts it shows a blank screen where only the wallpaper is showing through.

The werewolves are stretched in odd ways. It's the only issue I've seen at all. Their heads stretch towards the camera in an odd spiked fashion.

The launcher crashes at start.
Works the same as on Windows after using "WINEPREFIX=~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/215280/pfx winetricks d3dx9_43 d3dx11_43 d3dcompiler_43"
To get it running, I ran "WINEPREFIX=~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/215280/pfx winetricks d3dx9_43 d3dx11_43 d3dcompiler_43 dxvk"
After this, it worked flawlessly, even in dx11 mode. Frame rate was around 50-60 while downloading game data, and it increased to over 75 once downloading was done. Played it for well over two hours straight without a single hitch of any kind.
In the case the launcher dies with a 'failed to start upgrade manager' error: it is a game related bug, it's not Linux. You want to download DirectX End-User Runtimes from 2010 https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109 and start the exe with "wine ...exe". After that extract the files to a folder and in it start: WINEPREFIX="absolute_path to your_steam_library/steamapps/compatdata/215280/pfx" wine DXSETUP.exe . Install it and there you go. Make sure in the settings DirectX11 is selected.
Ran WINEPREFIX=/home/[YOURUSERNAME]/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/215280/pfx winetricks d3dx9_43 d3dx11_43 d3dcompiler_43. Launcher ran. Received warning about outdated video drivers, ignored it. Set video opton to DX11. Gameplay is good. Has crashed once or twice. Occasional problem with shutting down. Process hangs, I've had to kill the process twice so far.
