Game crashes occasionally but besides that runs fine with only minor performance difference to windows.
SteamDeck=1 %command%
With Fullscreen enabled had issues adjusting resolution to match my 32:9 ultrawide Monitor.
Game runs slightly poorer than on Winodws on Same Hardware.
Game crashes every hour or so.
Video's don't play for some reason. I prefer them not showing but it is kinda funny.
Hopefully new updates of game, drivers and proton resolve the crashing problems.
With any other proton it either doesn't load, the launcher is laggy, or the game's background doesn't load. With Proton-GE, all of these problems are fixed. Works exactly as it would on windows. If you do not want to get Proton-GE, Proton Hotfix will work just fine, just less responsive launcher and no menu background.
Didn't work at all initially but then I switch to experimental and everything seems to work! I only played 30 minutes, I didn't see any bugs
It works well most of the time
Sometimes whenever I tried to rebind keys (only from keyboard, mouse worked fine) it set them to numlock, restarting and disabling numlock fixes it
The game crashes every few matches. Sometimes its just the game, other times I get logged out of my computer - it doesnt shut down, it just logs me out.
I cant save highlights
As long as you dont mind it crashing now and then its fine, for me it's kinda annoying because I mostly play competitive
The game runs poorly compared to Windows, I'm getting maybe 80 FPS compared to 110-120FPS on Windows.
Runs perfectly and smooth, like Windows. I just need to disable frame generation because its making my screen pink when enabled.
SteamDeck=1 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_NV_low_latency2 gamemoderun %command%
Pink screen when DLSS Frame Generation is enabled. When disable FG, screen becomes normal.
Without startup modification code, game crash when finds a new match.
steamdeck=1 %command%
Game crashed in the launcher. Launching with steamdeck=1 bypassed the launcher and the game works fine otherwise.
SteamDeck=1 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_NV_low_latency2 gamemoderun %command%
SteamDeck=1 to prevent anticheat from booting you every few games. Everything else is optional
%command% -ngxdisableota
The keybinding menu detects every key as NUM-LOCK (except mouse buttons where binding works correctly)
Even on lowest graphics settings with FSR enabled the game won't reach stable 60 fps.
Occasionally the games crashes with Xid errors being emitted by the GPU driver
Without setting -ngxdisableota as launch option the game crashes during startup. Other than that the games runs fine.
Didn't run into any issues. Props to devs for doing some Linux specific fixes.
plug and play
The only thing I noticed was that a (background?) video at the start of the game wasn't showing properly since I just saw a black screen. Apart from that everything was working perfectly.
I've tried to get this thing working after I switched from Windows to Linux. It worked perfectly on Windows with no issues whatsoever.
SteamDeck=1 VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_NV_low_latency2 %command% PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 %command% unset LD_PRELOAD; gamemoderun -ngxdisableota -dx12
Tried messing with the winecfg stuff and some Lutris things
I switched operating systems without exactly knowing what I was getting into
gamescope -W width -H height -r refreshrate -- %command% # If running on Hyprland
Opening cinematic and initial main menu graphics do not appear, but everything else does
If on a tiling window manager or in a situation where mouse focus can leave the window, be sure to go into Settings > Keyboard and enable "Center Mouse in Background" to make sure that the mouse always stays in the window during gameplay.
Do not use gamescope's --force-grab-cursor, as this will severely reduce mouse speed/DPI in the menus.
VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_NV_low_latency2 %command% PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 %command% unset LD_PRELOAD; gamemoderun -ngxdisableota
Stuff to note: Use the first command if you get the [winevulkan/loader_thunks.c and "vkLatencySleepNV"] error. DL Frame Generation works but tints my screen in pink.
Solved my problems with GE-Proton, Gamescope and FeralGameBoost directly installed in Lutris
enable gamescope in lutris
ça tourne bien :)
Totally playable without much fuss. 150hrs and hit celestial playing only on linux without any crashes or problems at all.
LD_PRELOAD="" %command%
The game need the LD_PRELOAD="" on the launch options or it will stutter after 2 matches.
Windows version crashes every 3 matches, in this version, game hasn't crashed once. There were some missing videos in victory screens and start menu which were black, but those were fixed with proton ge
mangohud %command%
After three or four games in a row the game starts to drop FPS, it is almost stable while not in game but while in it gets an average of 10 ~ 20 FPS.
Most of the videos doesn't load at all, it is just a black screen both on hero's abilities preview and main menu.
SteamDeck=1 %command%
Game worked out of the box after adding the flag. Before it would get to the launcher, but crash after launching.
On windows I get about 90-120 FPS on high settings, and I get about the same here (lost about 6-7 FPS total). I am on latest NVIDIA drivers on Fedora from RPMFusion. Steam is running as a flatpak.
__GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1 gamemoderun SteamDeck=1 %command%
When using windowed fullscreen, cursor was never locked to the window. Fullscreen resolved the problem
Crash every ~2 games
SteamDeck=1 gamemoderun %command%
Had black screen during videos before switching to Proton GE, but using Proton GE fixed all issues. Didn't notice any big changes from launch options. After I got my AMD packages sorted, it feels like the game is running better than on Windows.
Le jeu fonctionne sans problème
Petits lags en full hd
SteamDeck=1 %command%
Crashes about as often as it does on Windows
Occasional instability and performance issues, but hey it's Rivals
I think its unplayable, being a competitive game. If my brand new rx6650xt doesent reach 30fps on this, the avarage gammer wont like it
SteamDeck=1 LD_PRELOAD="" gamemoderun mangohud %command%
Some weeks ago it was fine. Now I tried to play again ant it barely reaches 30fps? Its weird
I hope they fix this game soon? Idk what to do.
unset LD_PRELOAD; VK_ICD_FILENAMES="$HOME/mesa-git/share/vulkan/icd.d/intel_icd.x86_64.json" %command%
The main menu background is black and video playback in hero ablity previews fails.
Intel Arc GPUs require a Mesa feature patch that has not yet been released. Requires compiling Mesa and loading it as seen in other reports (https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8300#issuecomment-2533433893) (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/32676) It has landed in Mesa main but is yet to be in a release, so you only need normal Mesa-git and no extra patch sets now.
Works out of the box
Multiplayer works fine, haven't noticed any bugs.
Crashes on title/on Startup
SteamDeck=1 LD_PRELOAD="" %command%
Mesa 25.0.1 - kisak-mesa PPA Tried a few variations of the tricks, none got past the launcher screen with the error being that my gpu did not support directx 12
Some menu backdrops are black but can still be used
Works great out of the box
gamemoderun PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=0 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 DXVK_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 LD_PRELOAD="" SteamDeck=1 %command% -dx12
without setting SteamDeck=1 AntiCheat crashed every few games, sometimes every game. After setting it game works as Native
This game is fucking atrocious
unset LD_PRELOAD; SteamDeck=1
even with the suggested fixes it still just either won't run most of the time or will crash when starting a match. Was supposed to be playing this with my friends but can't becuase this shitty fucking game seems to have something against the gtx 1050 ti because it's "too old" or whatever. even though the real reason is because this game is shit. It uses a shit engine made by shit people who want to force you to buy more fucking graphics cards.
the fact that this game has a gold rating despite all this crap is a black mark on protondb's reputation.
unset LD_PRELOAD; SteamDeck=1 PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=50 %command% -dx12
The videos and some UI elements run at low framerate 20-40fps
Very ocasional crash, sometimes once in two weeks.
To avoid the directx12 unsupported error with intel graphics you need to have a VERY up to date mesa driver. driver with date of march-2025 should be fine
