If you have a good linux distribution, everything will work fine without adding any parameters.

gamemoderun %command% -high
Works great. If you don't want to use GE-Proton, this game seems to work with Steam's default version of Proton as well.

ProtonUp-Qt
O easy anti cheat não funciona no "plasma wayland", eu passei literalmente 3 dias fazendo o que eu podia e não podia para fazer o jogo funcionar e eu não consegui de jeito nenhum! a única forma para fazer abrir o jogo que eu encontrei foi trocando a inicialização para o painel "plasma x11".
Se por acaso o botão para procurar partida não funcionar ou você encontrou problemas na lista de amigos ou certas texturas de menu não aparecem, baixe o ProtonUp-Qt e instale o proton tkg experimental, após eu usar isso no smite todos os bugs desaparecerão se a sua distro for baseada no arch.

Los textos en la deck son pequeños, lo juego en una pantalla segundaria.
Muchas veces despues de jugar algunas partidasse queda en el lobby pillado y no me deja ponerme en cola de partida.
A veces no me deja entrar en cola, despues de jugar algunas partidas no quiere entrar en cola, la lista de amigos se queda bug.

Tried running with several versions of proton including experimental, 9.0-2, and 7.0-6, got the game to launch with 8.0-5. Ran perfectly fine otherwise.

Game runs fine on legion go running bazzite os. Uses trackpad for main menu but once in game controllers work perfectly.
set control settings to controller, runs ootb on experimental.

Initially I couldn't play at all because all my menus just said "undefined".
Some menus were missing, couldn't click Play and so on.
Tried custom launch options like:
OPENSSL_ia32cap=~0x200000200000000 PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command%
It didn't work. I tried to use Proton-GE, normal Proton, Proton experimental, building the cache to 100% which took forever btw.
What worked after hours of testing was uninstalling my theme in Gnome...
I was using WhiteSur-gtk-theme theme from vinceliuice on github with libadwaita support(which is a bit hacky).
Uninstalling it made Smite work again. Tried installing my theme again, surprise, Smite wouldn't work again too.

While the game load the match, alt + tab in Fullscreen mode can crash the game.
Only at main menu, sometimes the game stutter when changing of menu.
Using Borderless Window is better than Fullscreen for it won't have the problem of crashing your game during load if you alt + tab. The overall experience is very good.

PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%
It was working fine without launch options but after latest patch on 25th june it wouldn't even launch. I have to add "PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%" in launch options. It works but lower fps than before.

gamemoderun %command%
De forma aleatoria, se queda en el marco de carga y no pasa a la partida. Ademas, pocas veces darle jugar y tengo que reiniciar el juego.
Con todas las versiones del kernel 6.8.x no funcionaba el juego, con la version que estoy en 6.9.2 puedo jugar mejor que en windows de nuevo. Ademas con la version de proton 9.0.1 funciona.

Moved the ability keys from the face buttons to the back grip ones
Can't start any kind of match after suspending and waking back up. Works again if I restart the game.
Surprisingly fun on the Deck

Some cracking from time to time or music themes abruptly stopping. Not sure if it is a Smite problem or not.
When I start the game, the "capturing" is wrong. I have to F11 (window mode) then F11 again and I can click on things, else it switches back to Steam. Took me some time to figure it out.
2 crashes so far. It restart Gnome but I have to restart the computer as well. It then re-download the latest 11.5GB patch
It works quite well overall. Some bugs here and there like I can't start a game, but that means I need to restart my computer so it download the latest patch. It's weird but I got used to it.

Sometimes when you're in a party, the queue will break and you will not be able to leave or disband the party. You have to restart the game when this happens.
The "Pure virtual function being called while application was running (GIsRunning == 1)." error is due to the 6.8.* kernel update - downgrading or updating to 6.9 allegedly resolves this problem.

Enabled Rebar on BIOS Settings
Lots of times the main menu buttons doesn't load or work properly, requiring restart.
The issue could be with the 6.8.9 Kernel as many players have been reporting problems with various games on it. Only after enabling Rebar on bios the error "Pure virtual function being called while application was running (GIsRunning == 1)." stopped showing. Still not entirely sure if it's related, but it was recommended for the games with the kernel version issue.

crashes at the main menu, or matchmaking doesn't start, or crashes at god selection screen
literally unplayable after most recent update. most crashes include message "Pure virtual function being called while application was running (GIsRunning == 1)."

Ya no me funciona el Smite con las ultimas actualizaciones
gamemoderun %command%
Llevaba más de 5 meses jugando Smite y era mejor que Windows y ahora no. (Escribo tanto para la version de Kubuntu 23.10 y 24.04 LTS). Desde la penultima actualización de Smite me esta dando muchos fallos,actualice a la ultima version y va peor, dejo una lista de los fallos:
- Entro en el menú y no tengo lista de dioses, el pase de batalla falla y tengo que cerrar y abrir el juego entre 2-15 veces para que funcione.
- A veces puedo jugar, otras veces se congela y se cierra. En una partida se puede crashear 5 veces y otras veces ni una vez.
- Algunas veces puedo invitar a mis amigo y puedo jugar con ellos, otras veces no puedo invitarlos porque se bugea, otras veces me tienen que invitar ellos para poder jugar con ellos.
- Si abro un cofre en medio de la cola de entrada a una partida, se me congela la pestaña de cofre y no se que me toco y no se consume hasta reiniciar el juego.
- Entro en cola, pasa 10 minutos y no entro en partida, pienso, que raro que no empiece partida, si entro con amigos me dice: Estamos dentro pero tu no elige dioses. (En modo Asalto no hace falta elegir, pero no puedo cambiar ni intercambiar y tengo que reiniciar el juego justo en el marco de carga de dioses gracias a que me ayudan mis amigos.
Cada vez que actualizan Smite es una loteria. He probado con la version de proton valve :9.0-1 y Proton GE: 9.0.4, 9.0.3, 9.0.1, 8.32 y algunos mas, kernel stock y custom, gráficos mesa3d de Ubuntu y de repositorios PPA, nada. En Windows 10 puedo jugar con menos probabilidad de crasheo, pero los mapas tardan en cargar y tengo parones de pantalla (siempre me ha pasado).

Crashes on menu or selection with the message: "Pure virtual function being called while application was running (GIsRunning == 1)."
It was working fine for months until a few days ago, and suddenly stopped. I believe it happened after a small game patch.

Crashes upon loading into the main menu with error "Pure virtual function being called while application was running (GIsRunning == 1)."
gamemoderun %command%
Unlocked framerate
Unfixable on my system; tried various different launch options. Started after a recent update, not sure what the exactl culprit is.

This might be an issue with Arch-based distributions, as since a recent set of system updates, the game will randomly produce the following error:
"pure virtual function being called while application was running (gisrunning == 1)"
After clicking OK, the game will then forcefully exit/crash. The error seems to occur while trying to load certain assets in the main menu and in pre-game lobbies, the latter will cause deserter penalties due to the crashing. Haven't seen the game crash while in an actual match though.
Apart from the very recent issue I've experienced as written above, the game ran/runs as well as on Windows. Unless I can fix that issue somehow, I guess it really is high time to move to Smite 2, which thankfully is going to have SteamDeck support from the get-go.

Runs Good

Except some minor bugs with game data that happen sometimes, restarting the game helps it.
Really rare crashes. Happened to my Windows friends as well.
Sometimes the game doesn't sync up with what's happening. IE in party, ocassionally it won't show me if my friends got into game que. Also, sometimes the game data doesn't load correctly. Restarting the game fixes it.

Works as well as it did on Windows.

No tinkering needed at all; as mentioned, there's a slight delay once a match is found, but once in game it runs absolutely flawlessly.
There's a slight delay once a match is found, but this could also just be the game loading.

Had to get .NET files from winetricks. Otherwise it wouldn't install correctly.
Latest update made my mouse go crazy! It was only in Smite. Had to uninstall and reinstall the game in order to fix.
Steam Deck/Linux support day 1 for smite 2 according to devs! Thank you from linux gamers!

OPENSSL_ia32cap=~0x200000200000000 %command%
Doesn't seem to matter which Proton version I choose, pick 32-bit or 64-bit, nor whether I add the extra commandline option. This game will just be stuck doing nothing for 20 seconds and then the "Running" button turns back into a "Play" button.
Works just fine if you use this launch option. Same performance as on Windows, if not slightly better.

Only work with => Proton 9.0 (beta)

Seems to work great with Proton 9.0 (beta), wuld recommend, but keep in mind, it might break again with any update, as it has in the past

I tried Proton Experimental, Proton 8.0-5, Proton 7.0-6, a few GE versions, ect. Couldn't get the game to run. Before the latest update it used to work perfectly with 7.0-6. From my expirience with the game, it either runs just fine or doesn't even open.

It's actually more stable than on windows
I have only had it crash on me once, two other people in the same game also crashed, so I doubt it was a proton thing.

UI felt sluggish compared to windows but otherwise works
Year 11 update worked fine out of the box with zero configuration. Played a game of Slash without any issues.
