"ln -s BloodBowl2_GL_32.exe BloodBowl2.exe"
Mouse flickers
Game progressively slows after a few minutes of the match. From 60+ to < 10.
The framerate slowdown impacts ability to scroll and select UI elements, making my turn difficult to operate.
I have read that Steam Deck does not seem to experience this slowdown issue. I've tried booting the game with the OpenGL symlink, 4 different proton versions, and running the game on minimum settings, all to no improvement. I've read that this game has a known CPU bottlenecking issue, but I have a pretty decent Intel Processor, so I'm not sure how that could be true.
Will update my report if I figure this issue out.
Requires symlinking the launcher using: ln -s BloodBowl2_GL_32.exe BloodBowl2.exe
By running through BloodBowl2_GL_32.exe can only play with Normal grade graphics settings
Requires symlinking the launcher using "ln -s BloodBowl2_GL_32.exe BloodBowl2.exe", otherwise <5 FPS even in the main menu
not playable
Game runs great and as it's turn based strategy can drop down the FPS without affecting the gameplay.
30fps Limit TDP 6
Text is small but still readable
Requires in game setting change to enable gamepad.
Good even without symlinking AFAIK.
Alt-tabbing before the main menu is fully loaded makes the window not responsive. Have to exit and restart game.
Had to set settings to low to get consistent ~50 FPS.
Seemed to play well. Online seemed to work.
Alt-tabbing to any other application causes the mouse and keyboard to not be functional when returning to the game.
Input laggy, but I suspect that's because of the general choppiness.
Fine at first, but very laggy after about 20-30 seconds. Almost unplayable.
Sometimes the refresh frequency setting in the OS did not allow to play as the game was showing a blank screen even with sound working. Changing the refresh rate solved it. If going back to the same rate as before the issue did not appear, seemed something random, maybe driver issue?
Runs great, very stable on a system with good specs.
Minor cracking. Not always present.
Runs almost perfect with only the smallest caveat... As others have said, tap Alt to regain input after alt-tabbing out of the game.
Unknown(> 10 hours with Proton)The only thing is to press Alt in-game after Alt-Tabbing to get input(key & mouse) focus back.

After a rename of BloodBowl2.exe (with .old) and a ln -s BloodBowl2_GL_32.exe BloodBowl2.exe. It work perfectly in ultra with 50 ~ 60FPS during game!
Unknown(> 10 hours with Proton)The game itself seems to run perfectly under linux, but in less than a week it wrote the line "Viewport hasn't been setted" THREE BILLION times to my ~/.xsession-errors file, filling my $HOME partition twice. If you remember to remove that log file now and then (and reboot so that there are no processes still writing to it) then the game works fine.

As others report, had to create a symlink in the game directory ( ln -s BloodBowl2_GL_32.exe BloodBowl2.exe ). Also after Alt+Tabbing out and back in, another single Alt press is required to enable mouse clicks.
Unknown(> 10 hours with Proton)Update to the previous report: almost 50 hrs played, no issue offline / online. After Steam update of Jan 19th 2019, also the file BloodBowl2_DX_32.exe must be linked to BloodBowl2_GL_32.exe, otherwise the game does not start any more for some reason.
Unknown(> 10 hours with Proton)Unknown(an hour with Proton)Tried single player only. The game did not start until a symlink was created for the two exes in the game directory (ln -s BloodBowl2_GL_32.exe BloodBowl2.exe). Everything looks well, the performance is very reasonable on normal settings.
Unknown(an hour with Proton)
Had to symlink the BloodBowl2.exe to BloodBlow2_ GL_32.exe
Played through first couple of matches. 4k with highest settings gave 30-40fps.
As noted in other reports, requires BloodBowl2.exe replacing with symlink to BloodBowl2_GL_32.exe to run. If you alt tab out, you have to press alt once after returning to the game before anything works. Performance is great, solid 60fps throughout.
