When asked for connecting to ranked servers, click no. Then connecting to multiplayer works.
Evolve Legacy also still works via inviting friends, but not with matchmaking anymore. Now the Stage 2 matchmaking servers are back up. With the mentioned launch options it works flawless, otherwise you might get stuck in the loading screen.

Those severe stutters do not happen all the time.
The game has some serious slow down, sometimes I would get 5 fps.
This is refering to the evolve legacy branch (requires the original game to unlock in beta tab)
Evolve Stage 2 doesn't work anymore as the online servers are shut down, but if you are a buyer of the original version (you can still find buy retail keys) it is selectable in the Beta tab and works great.

Strangle is used for capping framerates, use mangohud if you wish. Custom Proton Version is required for ASYNC to work, makes shaders black until they are compiled, causes near to no compile stutter. MANGOHUD=1 strangle 240 PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 DXVK_HUD=compiler DXVK_ASYNC=1 %command%
Can be fixed with, PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60
Use the legacyevolve beta channel in properties. You either need the Base Evolve game files or the Evolve Founders DLC to download the legacyevolve.

GloriousEggroll's Latest Proton build.
Very minor Audio drop-outs/fails for sounds when tons of stuff is going on.
Fullscreen cannot use high refresh-rates, borderless windowed works flawlessly.
Game is fully playable with multiplayer as long as you select in the beta channel legacy-evolve and you need to own the base evolve game.

Cant get past loading screen
Every time I boot up the game, it just gets stuck on the Evolve Logo on start-up & then proceeds to crash
It runs but only just. It's significantly choppy and is not at all stable in terms of frame rate and audio syncing. Would not reccomend
Audio could fall out of sync and would stop for a while.
It was very choppy and struggled to maintain even 15 to 20 fps

Works without issues. For buyers of the original game (pre stage 2): you can switch to the "legacyevolve" branch in the beta settings. Multiplayer still working via p2p. Just played several matches with friends without problems. Evolve Stage 2 (F2P) had been shut down, so that's not available anymore.

Ran fine, did the tutorial, all good, except the game itself is dead because the online servers for it have been shutdown.. So, um.. I don't know, not Proton's fault the game is dead for other reasons lol.

The game works but 2K killed it, so only tutorial is playable, without online gaming.

The game works but 2K killed it, so only tutorial is playable, consider it borked


Works flawless



Only played tutorial and AI match. No major issues whatsoever.
