ProtonDB | Game Details for Frostpunk

The game starts and I can go to the start menu, but I guess it's too demanding for my Surface Go.

Tinker Steps:Custom Proton: GE-Proton9-22, Set launch options

SDL_VIDEODRIVER="" %command%

The game wouldn't launch using Wayland at all. I found a bug report on Proton's GitHub (https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/412) that concluded the issue was with SDL_VIDEODRIVER being set to "Wayland". Using a local launch option override I was able to launch the game (still under Wayland) and it ran flawlessly.

Control Layout:Switch To Community Layout: Used The Most Popular Community Layout Available

Difficult To Read Text:Yes

Text is tiny, at times unreadable

Game runs great of the box. I advise capping at 30fps considering its slow nature if you wand a perfectly stable reading. The most popular community layouts do work well to adapt the decks' controller scheme, or any controller for that matter, to the game. However, text is absolutely tiny, making the game nearly unplayable unless you're ready to spend your time using the magnifier.

Once I got in to the game, I got sucked in.

Tinker Steps:Set launch options

gamemoderun %command%

Significant Bugs:Yes

Without using the gamemoderun command, the initial loading screen will show a "game not responding" and some glitches that causes it to minimize. I was able to ignore them and it eventually loads. The extra load command seems to fix it.

You can play straight out of the box. Just ignore the initial loading screen unresponsive dialog and it will eventually load.
