This was a huge pain in the ass, possibly due to using the flatpak version of Steam or because my CPU has an iGPU the system tries to load even when specifying which GPU to use through launch commands.
Launching the game wasn't the issue. Getting Smart Zois to enable was the pain.
Ultimately, it came down to using the listed launch commands (also tested with experimental and GE-Proton-10-4 successfully), installing cuda packages for the system, installing dxvk_nvapi from proton tricks, AND creating a DWORD variable called "HwSchMode" at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers and giving it a value of 2.
Made a new report because I'm dumb and forgot to include the very important name for the DWORD variable in my original report.
Mostly issues stem from using the in-game modkit and how mods load. YMMV.

Smart Zois not enabling even with compatible hardware
When Frame Generation is enabled, objects and menu elements on the entire screen periodically begin to shake.
The issue can be temporarily resolved by changing the FPS cap setting to a different value and then changing it back to the original setting.

Had to use ProtonGE. Disabling v-sync will completely freeze the game so must be left on.

If you liked the Sims games then you would love this
3rd party mods ie: nexus mods won't work

Yes, but switching to Proton Hotfix.
Attempted with Hotfix, Experimental and 10-1 Beta to the same result. Game still very new so may get better in time.

inZOI works flawlessly with Proton-GE only. No performance issues. Playing at 4K Ultra (RT off) on RTX4070Ti without stutters.
Does NOT work with Steam's Proton. You WILL need to install Proton GE otherwise I was getting no cutscenes, a loading screen, then black screen. I tried Proton 9.x, 10.x, experimental and hotfix. None worked (even though the beta/demo worked with).
DLSS, FrameGen and SmartZoi work.

mangohud %command%
DLSS Super Resolution works well, but DLSS Frame Generation still doesn’t work. Smart ZOI appears to be enabled, but it turns out it’s not actually working.

graphics are incredibly pixelated, looks like the original port of Doom for ms-dos it's THAT bad. In 1920x1080, resolution scaling is locked to 50% since I have an AMD gpu so nothing can be done about it. Setting resolution to 4k looks acceptable but my gpu temps skyrocket out of control and beyond safe levels when I do that.
has graphical issues on my system but I bet it would work fine for most people who have AMD graphics and the patience to install GloriusEggroll

works with a pc spec lower than recommended, runs great on low settings and playable on medium
gamemoderun %command%

bazzite (gnome) on rog ally z1e cant run inzoi
weird that the game wont run past loading screen, even crashing the whole steam lol. i read some of the steamdeck owners able to play inzoi in low fps. theoratically mine would go well also with higher fps. maybe the difference in distro? im not sure. i even tried proton experimentsl

Keeps asking to install Visual C++ Redistributable, even after it's already installed. Won't launch.

The game devs are adding hotfixes to the game, as this it's still in early access. I got a black screen when running from Steam without a compatibility tool, but it runs swimmingly with GE-Proton9-26. Looking forward to the the full release of the game.

gamemoderun mangohud %command%
I always use Proton Experimental, didn't even try standard Proton.

Playable using GE-Proton 9-27. DLSS is missing from the options and Frame Generation doesn't work. Smart ZOI works fine.
gamescope -W 3840 -H 2160 -r 240 -- mangohud %command%
I’ve tried both GE-Proton 9-26 and GE-Proton 9-27, but the DLSS feature still doesn’t show up. However, I noticed that there's no nvngx_dlss.dll file in the game directory when installed on Arch Linux.

Got stuck on a black screen when trying to load it with proton experimental and proton 9. Had to switch to GE. Once it loaded though, it ran fine. Haven't tried any of the AI features as they don't interest me.

Game works with Steam Proton defaults.
Raycasting enabled by default. Turning off improves performance as expected.
Mods do not currently seem to load. May need to mess around with DirectX Runtime Installed in protontricks as it requires modifying the default dlls that come with game and doesn't create a log file.

gamemoderun %command%
Runs great, remember to install gamemoderun and proton versions with protonup-qt.

Everything works great but no DLSS
40+ stable fps; runs smoothly out of the box on my PC. DLSS is unavailable yet through Proton. AI texture creation also works after updating Nvidia driver to at least 570.133.07, otherwise it won't work.
P. S. Smart Zoi is not supported by my card (untested);

Saving breaks the game

Game works perfectly well, apart from not being a sheep and having AMD so missing out on AI features. But 3d printer does work
Studio and character editor worked but not starting full game until windowed or full screen window was selected
Just making sure to be in window mode is the only thing that stopped the game

Game just worked out of the box for me.
If the game is started without being in focused, the game seems to be stuck at black screen. Other than that, while in game, Alt-Tab works fine.
Played ~ 4 hours. AI stuff is working too unlikely the other reports.
Tested working fine:
- ordinary game play so far
- Smart ZOI
- AI generation for, texture, emote, 3D printer

As Low or Very Low graphic preset is needed to reach 30 fps, texts in screen are a bit borrowed. (They are smaller too)
Need to switch to "windowed" mode to match the resolution with external monitor
Minor fps drops sometimes
The game is playable on Steam Deck with Low or Very Low graphic settings (getting around 30 stable fps). As the game plays in the lowest quality, some artifacts appear on some areas like hair, object borders and in some textures. But it runs pretty well. In my case, i´ve played it on a external monitor and firstly i need to add the "-windowed" option on launch parameters and set Compatibility mode with "Proton Experimental". Then in Desktop Mode, run the game and in options menu, configure it with "Windowed" option, Dynamic resolution ON and Very Low (quality) preset. This solves the pointer accuracy problems in Game Mode. It works with Mouse or Gamepad controller (I use wired controller and it works like a mouse without doing anything else).
gamemoderun %command%
When launching the game, only a black screen was displayed while the video audio could be heard. The issue was resolved by replacing the video files in the /BlueClient/Content/Movies/ directory.

More bindings for camera control (AvPag, RegPag, Control+Tab)
Small UI.
Requires Proton Experimental in order to reproduce the videos. Maybe, the fixes will be in the stable version (not currently in Pronton 9.0-4).
Crashes during Shader Compilation

AI/Smart stuff doesn't seem to work. Enabling "Smart Zoi" freezes the game
Games loads file, after that game freezes and shows black screen
average 10 fps on the lowest settings
Funktioniert nur mit GE-Proton-9-26, bei allen anderen Proton Versionen endet das Spiel in einem schwarzen Bildschirm

If you enabled frame generation, it will be lag. 如果你启用了帧生成, 那么将可能会出现卡顿和闪烁等问题.
简体中文
对于不作任何更改, 使用 ProtonExperimential 时游戏可能会在启动界面上冻结卡死(对于我来说比较频繁), 换成 GE-Proton9-26/25 可能会减少这种情况的发生. 而对于启用mod, 在打了Mod补丁(https://www.nexusmods.com/inzoi/mods/1)后需要额外操作去启用它, 即设置启动项WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dsound.dll=n,b" %command%
. 之后就可以使用去马赛克mod了.
Google Translate
Without any changes, the game may freeze on the startup screen when using ProtonExperimential (for me it happens frequently), switching to GE-Proton9-26/25 may reduce this. As for enabling mods, after installing the Mod patch (https://www.nexusmods.com/inzoi/mods/1), you need to do something extra to enable it, that is, set the startup item WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dsound.dll=n,b" %command%
. After that, you can use the remove blur mod.

Runs perfectly for me
I run max settings with RT at 1440p native. There are certain RT heavy scenarios that makes FPS drop ... But it is mostly a smooth 50-60fps experience, and for this type of game I don't need more. It looks good, runs well. No complains.

RADV_PERFTEST=nggc gamemoderun %command%
Had to put to the graphics to medium to get a smoother experience in the city
Playable for early access if you want to try the game, but its not the smoothest.

Only worked with GE-Proton9-26 and no launch commands
