There is a very short pause (few usec) every 2-8 seconds, with motion blur enabled, you might not even notice it. Does not really disturb gameplay.
Works fine for me, including game launcher, with experimental Proton with the launch options above, you will have to update the paths to your environment. You may use the line below in the launch options to get the default start command.
echo "%command%" > ~/Desktop/steamcmd.txt
The game starts also with Proton 8.0 and other versions, but login via Steam always failed when I tried.
The previous solution with PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1
breaks textures and performance goes to 1 FPS.

Load and update the game using the Launcher. To Play the game add the full path to the crossout.exe before %command%
"Full Path to Crossout.exe" %command%
Crash after starting using Launcher.

Crashes right after clicking play
tried many versions that some ppl had luck with.

up to some point game worked fine, now it does not because of anticheat

Unable to pass login screen because of anticheat system
You cannot pass game login screen, whatever flags you pass to launcher, game will always popup a message saying that it can't start anticheat system, even with EAC runtime installed.

Doesn't launch
Game launcher doesn't open with which you install the actual game

Вполне играбельно, только если вы не перфекционист, ибо счётчик фпс показывает 60 и ровный график, а по ощущениям кадров как будто меньше.

I did install the game under proton 7 a while ago fine too

Games runs smooth (60+ fps) with minimal hickups. Random crashes (Menu / Battles), but playable..
sometimes mouse loose focus, alt + tab fix it.
Use Proton 7.0-6
Launch the first time with launch option: PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%
On the first menu (memorize where the PLAY button is located, you will need this later xD)
Click on play button, launch the game, configure your video settings, make sure you can go on the test area. (The game have downloaded and loaded all it needs). Close the game.
Now launch the game without the launch option set on the second step.
A black screen will show (this is actually the first menu!)
Wait a little to the game to loads and the play button is ready (just some seconds) and click where the PLAY button was on the first launch (bottom right side). If it dosent launch, trying clicking some more. Easy anti-cheat screen will display and the game should launch.
The game is playable, runs smooth with a good FPS, and the multiplayer works well. The only downside is the crashes, which are completely random—sometimes occurring in the first battle and other times allowing you to play multiple battles. Good luck!

PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 WINE_CPU_TOPOLOGY=4:0,1,2,3 %command%
Install protontricks through flatpak and configure WineD3D backend to use the Vulkan renderer:
flatpak install --system com.github.Matoking.protontricks
flatpak run com.github.Matoking.protontricks 386180 renderer=vulkan
Due to using WineD3D with Vulkan renderer, the game should be run in Legacy GPU compatibility mode which results in low quality graphics but the overall experience is fine.
There is sometimes minimal stuttering during gameplay but nothing serious and completely playable.
The game runs smooth except for occasional stutter. Needs configuring launch options, protontricks and legacy graphics mode to make the game able to launch and run without major issues.
Does not run, not even Proton 7.0 helps

Game Launches, but will crash shortly after. Certain settings may make it last longer, but it will inevitably crash after a few minutes.
Unplayable.
After some amount of time after game started game crashes.

The game runs terribly irregardless of PC hardware.
The game crashes frequently.
The game is plagued by a number of graphical degradations and performance issues.

Cannot get the game to launch
Tried all the various suggestions of the other reports on this game but nothing worked. Simply does not open.
Tried setting WINE_DISABLE_VULKAN_OPWR=1 WINEDLLOVERRIDES=vulkan-1=n,b PROTON_HEAP_DELAY_FREE=1 %command%
Tried reverting versions of proton, using the default proton, using proton-ge.
Tried setting the "legacy GPU" option in the launcher.

At the beginning of each game, the mouse won't start moving the crosshair until you Alt-Tab out and back into the game.
To get the game running after installing the launcher, go into the launcher's settings and enable 'Legacy GPU Support'.
GE-Proton-9-5 nor any of Steam's installed versions worked other than 7.0-6, so switch to that.


Андервольтинг (-20) (-30)
Раз в несколько игр, присутствуют кратковременные зависания на 1 секунду. Это не зависит от настроек графики игры.
Проблема с крашем игры, решилась запуском стима в режиме рабочего стола. По не известной причине, в режиме Big Picture, игра вылетает во время матча. Но, игра стабильно работает в ангаре (вылетов нет, даже в Big Picture).
Вылет игры во время матча без ошибки (актуально при игре в режиме Big Pictire)
Для получения положительного опыта в этой игре, запускайте ТОЛЬКО в режиме рабочего стола.

WINE_DISABLE_VULKAN_OPWR=1 WINEDLLOVERRIDES=vulkan-1=n,b PROTON_HEAP_DELAY_FREE=1 %command%
It was possible to launch only VKD3D (DX12). I had to change json to launch it:
- Open Steam, make all necessary edits (launch options, Proton selection, etc)
- Go to the EAC folder (../steamapps/common/Crossout/EasyAntiCheat/Launcher)
- Start the game, wait for the launcher to finish all checks and the Play button will appear
- Delete Settings 64.json
- Copy Settings D3D 12.json and paste it into the same folder, but named Settings 64.json Press Play button in launcher
Do you want to start the game again? Repeat these steps again >_<
There is a way described here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/1937#issuecomment-1766340094 It didn't work for me, after following the instructions, the launcher turns into a pumpkin. Checks files, tries to download something, but there is nothing.
sometimes there were jerks, I think, due to the fact that shader compilation was taking place.

Frequent random crashes. In most cases I can't even play a full match.
Crashes far too often. Couldn't find a combination of commands and Proton version to fix this.

Не запускается
%command% WINE_DISABLE_VULKAN_OPWR=1 WINEDLLOVERRIDES=vulkan-1=n,b PROTON_HEAP_DELAY_FREE=1
разные параметры запуска из "историй успеха", версии протон 7, 8, experimental - результат один

Doesn't work. Gets stuck on the opening screen, but doesn't let me into even the main menu.
Couple of large frame time spikes during the first couple of matches, after that flawless performance

Game crashes no matter in game mode or desktop mode. You are lucky if you can play 2 games back to back.
If you are wanting to play this on the deck, you'll want to boot into windows.

чтобы переключить игру необходимо 2 раза переключаться через альт-таб
to switch the game you need to switch 2 times through alt-tab
при первом запуске могут появляться серьёзные фризы, но потом они пропадают, могу предположить что это связано с до компиляцией или кешированием данных
at the first start, serious friezes may appear, but then they disappear, I can assume that this is due to pre-compilation or data caching
сыграл 4 пвп + 3 пве + 1 пвп + 1 пве + 1 пвп, сумарное время игры примерно 1 час, игра работала идеально
played 4 pvp + 3 pve + 1 pvp + 1 pve + 1 pvp, total game time is about 1 hour, the game worked perfectly

Сложность с сворачиванием игры
Игра стабильно вылетает в конце боя, иногда 1 бой удаётся заверишь но на 2 бое 100% падает

Crossout does not run under Linux (without tinkering).
I know the game from Windows. The same updater window starts up and downloads updates in the beginning. Another error pop-up comes up mentioning that something went wrong and I could send a error report (but as I saw the updater window working normal in the background, I skipped this). The updater went through until I could press "play". After that it started loading as expected (black screen and the circle-shadow thing appears), but after a while my system just made a reboot...

%command% WINE_DISABLE_VULKAN_OPWR=1 WINEDLLOVERRIDES=vulkan-1=n,b PROTON_HEAP_DELAY_FREE=1
Alt-tab to fix mouse
2 consecutive microfreezes stable every start, random crashes
microfreezes, random crashes
It was possible to play stably without crashes in the following way: Launch the proton experimental, play, wait for the crash and change to proton 7.0-6, launch, play without crashes as much as you like. This sequence is needed every new session of the game

The game works well, but there is...
If, after starting, you go into a "battle", then you can't control the vehicle's weapons, you need to minimize the game and turn it back, the problem will be fixed. In some moments, jamming is possible, mainly when many players in one place try to "kill" each other.
Overall, I'm happy with how the game performs at 60 FPS on medium-high graphics settings. My experience on Manjaro Linux was extremely disappointing as I could only play on low graphics settings and with terrible stuttering.

With the provided launch parameters I have been able to play for hours without crashing, before I would crash every 20 minutes.
gamescope -w 2560 -W 2560 -h 1440 -H 1440 -f -e %command% WINE_DISABLE_VULKAN_OPWR=1 WINEDLLOVERRIDES=vulkan-1=n,b PROTON_HEAP_DELAY_FREE=1
Game sometimes loses focus when the match starts. Alt-tab out and back into focus to regain mouse control.
Occasional mouse focus loss
The game does not close gracefully. I need to terminate the gamescope-wl process every time I close the game.
Occasional mouse focus loss when entering a match or garage after a match.
This feels like this could be fixed in a proton update if it got some attention, this would be a fantastic steamdeck game.
Kudos to TheSola10 as their launch parameters in combination with gamescope got this running well for me.

Nice game, not a stable experience
couldn't move around when trying to change something on my car.
The game crash at least 6 times in just one hour.
I listed the issues, maybe some smarter Users find a solution to these problems.

WINE_DISABLE_VULKAN_OPWR=1 WINEDLLOVERRIDES=vulkan-1=n,b PROTON_HEAP_DELAY_FREE=1 %command%
Crashes after around 1h of play time, and sometimes fails to launch
I also tested with PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1, and while it does address the crashes, the resulting performance is abysmal (10fps peak)
PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%
Debris(?) from parts falling off vehicles fails to render properly and appears as large, stretched polygons before they cease moving or fade out. Can obstruct the view of other vehicles. Happens regardless of having Nvidia Aftermath, AMD GPU Services, or Legacy GPU support enabled.
Full screen fails to lock the mouse to the game window, only an issue if you have multiple displays.
Keyboard ocasionally is not detected, alt tabing in and out resolves this.
Motion blur causes stuttering, turning it off resolves this. Rapid camera movements also causes some slowdown.
Destruction of vehicles ocasionally causes stuttering, destruction or loss of large sections also causes stuttering. Reducing graphics settings lessened this.
Often crashes with the crash handler failing to even catch the crash. Crashes often when attempting to join games and likely will crash in the middle of a match if you do get in.
Some terrain appears solid black with no texture.
Regardless of graphical settings the game ocasionally appears fuzzy and unfocussed, restarting can sometimes resolve this?
Slowdown/stuttering from vehicles being destroyed or heavily damaged occurs even when the vehicle is out of line of sight/fully obscured.
Restarts initiated within the game (such as major graphical changes, like turning on legacy GPU support) cause the game to crash when it relaunches.
Seemingly no connectivity problems (despite the network test failing), latency and connectivity feel fine in a match. Issue stems entirely from the frequent crashing when connecting to or in a match.
The launcher will seemingly always open regardless of Proton version however it will crash before the login screen if you don't force the use of WINED3D. If it still fail to launch you can enable Legacy GPU Support in the launcher which launches the game in ULQ without having to get in game to mess with graphics settings.
Was only able to reach the Garage with Proton GE 7-45 and 7-55. Proton GE 8-2, Proton 7.0-6, 8.0-2 and Experiemtal all crash before reaching that point even with WINED3D.
Honestly if the game didn't crash so much it would be playable if you put up with the artefacting, missing textures, and stuttering. Yet with it's constant crashing it is not playable.
frequent crashes and freezes ruin the experience and usually cannot even finish a single multiplayer match
need to alt-tab to capture mouse cursor when match starts
significant freezes during matches
I had 1 disconnect in 2 days
avoid until the frequent crashes are fixed. i have tried several Glorious Eggroll, native, proton, experimental versions no fix found yet

The game will stutter but then recover at least once a match
stuttering during high activity at least once a match
i dont know why someone else on the crossout forum saying he has no issue , but here is the extremely annoying frequent crashing for me
unable to use mouse control once the game has detected there is controller connected , problem persist even i unpair and disconnect the controller
frequent crashes , each game session lasted from 3 min to 20 min if you are lucky extremely annoying , game just freeze up , then crash
plz let me know which proton GE have you switch to if you managed to play the game without any frequent crashing every 5 - 20 mins

Мышь не работает пвп и пве, тест драйв ок
Ура Кроссаут на линуксе заработал, только проблемма с мышю присудствует. А торговать и строить можно.
Playing via Steam on Linux since September 2022. Worked like charm on Proton Experimental, except very well known alt-tab issue. But then I've red (thanks to gamingonlinux.com) about new changelogs of GE Proton and It fixed alt-tab issue! Now I can't name any significant problem with this game on proton. Well maybe some problems with small statters at the begging of match session, probably some pre-caching thing, not a big deal for me anyway.
Had to manually download Easy Anti Cheat Runtime from steam tools like said here: https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/crossout/i/rLDfTtlr9EGj or else anti-cheat would fail to intitialize.
Mouse sometimes gets unfocused. Have to alt+tab to get your mouse back
Some stuttering
Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime required
Faulty mouse input on mission / menu beginning. Requires to alt-tab out and in to capture mouse input
