Capped framerate to 30 FPS
The linux binary couldnt load my Windows save from over at least 2 years ago.
Heavy stuttering and inconsistent performance behavior using the Linux binary in both cutscenes and the main menu.
Worked before KDE Plasma 6.2, since then freezes upon startup.
Tried all available Proton Versions, no change. Unfreezes upon tabbing, refreezes when in fullscreen.
Works out of the box. Game did crash once while changing graphics settings. Seconds try changing the same settings it worked just fine.

In episode 2, Life is Strange 2 will look for a saved game from The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit. You will need to copy the saved game from the latter to let the former find the saved game (I use Steam from Flatpak, you will need to adjust the path according to your own configuration): $ cp -R $HOME/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/data/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/845070/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Local\ Settings/Application\ Data/Dontnod/76561198077146958/CaptainSpirit $HOME/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/data/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/532210/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Local\ Settings/Application\ Data/Dontnod/76561198077146958/
You will need to disable both Esync and Fsync to avoid the game from slowing to a crawl in some scenes.
Cap to 45FPS @90hz (SteamDeck OLED)
The game does not see that i played "The Awesome adventures of Captain Spirit",but i played it on the SteamDeck.
Native version segfaulted at launch, Proton version ran great after disabling split lock mitigation
needed to run sysctl kernel.split_lock_mitigate=0 to avoid major slowdowns

When you click Play for the first time after downloading the game, Steam might reach the step "Installing Microsoft DirectX" and freeze there, and never start the game. If that happens, open a process manager (top/btop), find the DirectX installation process and kill it. After a couple of seconds, it will start again. Find it and kill it again. Afterwards, wait a couple of seconds, and Steam should successfully finish setting up the game and run it.
30fps cap, med/high settings, 7W CPU TDP limit
Every now and then audio would start glitching/stuttering, especially after suspend/resume
Audio issues were relatively rare, wish the game allowed to skip intro videos. Plays well on the Deck with the 30fps cap (which helps greatly with the fan noise and battery life)
30 FPS lock (Gamescope, the ingame FPS limiter had frame pacing issues for me)
Mixed High graphics settings, viewing distance should be reduced to Medium as it's very heavy in some areas
High settings, Capped at a stable 30FPS
Low/medium settings, tdp limited to 9w
Might only be after waking from sleep multiple times.
The adventures of captain spirit DLC save didn't sync up for some reason. It wasn't a game breaker.
Sometimes the game would switch back to windowed mode during loading sequences
As one of the few people willing to compromise on visual fidelity, running on an integrated Intel GPU from 2018, I can say that considering the circumstances, the game is still playable at 1080p at 66% resolution, with all settings at low. FPS would sometimes even hit the 40+ mark, but was mostly around 20-30. If this were a fast paced action game then maybe not so much, but for this game, everything is fine.
Note that I tried the native version first, despite the steam page claming intel GPUs are not supported, as well as the game warning me again about this on startup. And whaddaya know, before reaching the main menu, the whole system locked up. This is the first time this machine crashed, ever. After switching to Proton, everything worked fine.
Complains about 2 GB. Unable to load main menu, black screen with music
PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1; Custom Proton: Proton-5.11-GE-3-MF
Now has a Linux native version. This review is for the Steam Play version.
After each restart, screen resolution needs to be reset.
Crashed once during 15 hours of gameplay.
Completed Episode 5. Runs great overall.
Car sounds in main menu stutters
Some lags.
UnknownCould not even get it to launch
UnknownUnknown(> 10 hours with Proton)No issue. In comment below, there is the tweak to perform if you want to use your save from Captain Spirit. As this is an issue linked on how are builds Proton prefixes and has nothing to do with game issues, I leave Platinium!

data is not shared. You must go in and copy the CaptainSpirit save folder and copy it over to the same spot in the other games folder.
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/
is where the folders are
So for example my LiS2 Save folder is in:
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/532210/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Local Settings/Application Data/Dontnod/76561198072921481
I don't have Captain Spirit installed but it would be about the same path but in a another folder in compatdata
When finished you will have the following: ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/532210/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Local Settings/Application Data/Dontnod/76561198072921481/LIS2
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/532210/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Local Settings/Application Data/Dontnod/76561198072921481/CaptainSpirit
and that will remain even if you uninstall Captain Spirt. (But not if you remove LiS2)
But if you replay Captain Spirit, you must do this again.
Runs perfect, played 4 episodes
Completed Episode 4 with no issues.
Unknown(2+ hours with Proton)Runs great with keyboard/mouse, but game says Steam Controller shuts down. Furthermore, fatal error on exist (but causes no issues).
