The game is an old classic and a forgotten gem. Probably better than Street Fighter 3 in all aspects, but less known variant of KoF series.
there is no player left in the community :(

This is for the GOG version installed with Wine. I had to switch Proton versions to 9.0-3, it didn't work with Experimental, that would give the following message "An error occurred while launching this game: Compatibility tool failed". Never seen that before, but it worked fine with 9.0-3. Through Wine the gameplay was very buggy.

It runs perfectly with Proton 9.0-2
I couldn't find online matches, but the feature seems to be working.
Game will not boot after enabling Fullscreen setting. Delete ~options.bin file inside path_to_garou/Data and verify the integrity of game files from the Steam client.
Game has to be played in Windowed mode at all times. This is not a problem if you use gamescope. I used Proton 7.0-6 Flatpak community build.
Missing japanese fonts.
Works perfectly even online. Used Proton 7.0-5 Flatpak community build.
Does not boot when set to "fullscreen." (Can boot in full-screen using Proton 6.3-8)
My previous report assumed a Steam client update caused issues with the game, which is found to be incorrect.
Using an older version of Proton is necessary to get the game to boot. Otherwise, the game works fine.
Without tinkering, the game does not boot, so forcing the use of an older Proton build is necessary. (Note: This crash-on-boot only started occurring after the 6/2/2022 Steam Deck Client Update, the game worked perfectly on the default Proton build previously)

It runs perfectly using proton 5.0-10 with PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 at 60 FPS. Gamepad works running big picture mode.
PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1
Game gets really slow using default proton without any parameters.
Navigation through menus are quick & responsive, other than Video Options. Game was very laggy, and makes game unplayable.
Neo Geo X controller's "Pad D" does not register in game.
Major slowdown while playing the game, but in game menus are snappy. Using both Proton Experimental and 6.3-8.
PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%
Runs great out of the box. Online is also not impacted at all.
I made this tweak for running at 60fps in game.
Without tweak, I got 15 fps.

Works out of the box
Online is working just fine. Everything in this game seems to work just as intended. No tweaks needed, just install and play.

Wasn't able to test controller suport (since i hate controllers, i'm usually playing fighting games directly on my keyboard), but everything seems to work just fine. No tweaks needed.
After the update, this game now works perfectly
Online match works OOTB
Tested was the new Code Mystics version of this game that has rollback netcode. It works like a dream!
Game ran perfectly out of the box. Just install and play!

Won't get into the game, throws up an error message about "Assertion failed!" from Microsoft Visual Studio Runtime Editor.
renderer/renderer9_utils.cpp line: 387
Seems to be the problem.
You can "abort, retry, ignore" but ignoring will just close like abort does and retry will just throw the error up again.
