Did not test any earlier version

Fortunately, after a lot of updates it got rid of EasyAntiCheat Error that crashed the game. I use Proton v8.0-4.
No already crashes, but it has to be optimised.

other than my issue, tha game run well and smooth, and the multiplayer work too
Power cables make the game freeze with massive lag, if you try to put cable down, or if is down and you look in the direction of the cable it will freeze the game untill you manage to look away

For unknown reasons it was hard to keep a consistent 60 frames. Regardless of settings/Launch Options
I decided to test this game knowing it had moved to EAC. I can play online fine no drama on the Anti Cheat side of things. (FPS issues aside)

Update to EAC allows it to run without issues
I did not have any issues running it since the EAC update. I have not tried any EAC servers though.

Still Borked because the ACE Anticheat crap
Still completely borked. Will let you set at the main menu for a while but attempting to start the game will cause a crash.

Not sure why ProtonDB says it's "bronze" it's completely borked so a bit inaccurate
Doesn't work at all thanks to their anti-cheat(which is useless btw, read the reviews hackers run rampant. so they waste our time and theirs implementing such systems)

Version 1.0.7 forced ACE, and my work-around (see below) doesn't work anymore.
1.0.6 gave some hope. 1.0.7 destroyed it.

This game is a blend of 7 Days to Die, Rust and Subsistence in a very nice UE5 package. Early Access but solid survival/crafting/horde genre
UE5 is pretty demanding. Having it auto-detect your specs and settings everything at Ultra on 4K doesn't help...
Once a freeze-up. Couldn't pinpoint the reason.
The Anti-Cheat "ACE", as everyone else reported. But there's a work-around.
*** ATTENTION *** The main issue with this game, as everyone else reported, is the Anti-Cheat. There's a work-around for it: just be extremely quick to either find & join a dedicated server WITHOUT ACE enabled, or create a local game disabling the ACE and starting up as fast as possible (you have around 60 seconds from launching the game). Of course, a very fast SSD/RAM/CPU combo helps a lot. But once the ACE-less game starts, you can play for hours on end as long as you're "within" the local/dedicated server. The local game can also be prepared in different re-runs if you're not very fast with mouse (and keyboard to name your game/find the dedicated/name your character). Also char creation is saved progressively and even if you're thrown out of the game, you can continue from where you left at next start.

AntiCheat Engine kills the game
It's currently not possible to play this game. The Startmenu starts but after ~30 secs ACE kills the game.

ACE throws an error
After launch ~30 seconds later ACE throws an error (Anti Cheat...)

ACE throws an error after 30 seconds
Tencents anti-cheat closes the game on the main menu after approximately 30 seconds. It seems like you cannot create a solo game either without ACE.

ACE Anti-Cheat malfunctions under Proton, preventing play.
The game otherwise appears to load up fine, it's just ACE kicks you out after 30 seconds, and won't let you play.
