Doesn't work with default Proton 9 for me. Works with GE Proton 9. Steam always checks the game files and recompiles the shaders quite often

Better consistant FPS than Window, though a few minor points to get uded to.

You can't import your Steam Windows Profile.

Each day there is a 4-5GB validation when first logging on to Steam.

When you click play there is window showing the install of vulcan shaders. This is a time consuming install so I click cancel and have not noticed any negative impact.

Had to use GE-Proton9-4 instead of experimenal to get it to launch

Tinker Steps:Custom Proton: GE

Windowing:Other

Fullscreen caused graphic glitches but putting it in windowed mode and then making that full screen, no issues were found (fullscreen glitching probally hardware related due to using different resolution in game than on desktop, most likely not the game's fault)

Performance:Slight Performance Problems

Noticably slower than on Windows with same specs

Game was slow on my hardware but it is on windows too. If your hardware would run it at full speed usually then you won't have any issues!
