Some graphic settings are resource hogs, but with them disabled, can stay at a pretty steady 60 FPS
Anti-aliasing off or FXAA on low displays sparkling artifacting (common with low spec Unreal 4 games.) Using FXAA high or either Temporal AA fixed it with little performance change.
Couldn't go full screen as 1280x800 kept game widescreen; cutting off HUD, 1280x720 fixes it but is displayed normally in widescreen
Cutscenes (mainly company logos) are unsupported and show colored bars
100% recommend no shadow or reflection quality, as disabling both gives an extra 20 FPS. Ambient occlusion is only impacted minorly during night races with opponent's lights behind you. Everything else set to ultra or the highest settings works beautifully.
Native version works very well
Has a slight initial sutter which is gone in some minutes
About native version
DualSense controller is not recognized even with Steam Input
Saves between Windows and native Linux are not compatible
mediocre performance even on medium settings
Downloadable content is not supported on Linux and Mac
Force Proton for PS5 DualSense Controller
I can't tell if the game has any matchmaking or not. I can create a private lobby and invite Steam friends or a public one, but I didn't see an option to join someone else's lobby. Nobody joined my lobby.
My PS5 controller worked great after forcing Proton and enabling Steam Input (mine is always on). When playing the native version, the controller was not detected even with Steam Input enabled.
I will assume that inviting a Steam friend to join your lobby will work. Steamdb.info charts show estimated player counts in the single digits at times, so plan on solo or with Steam friends only.
Game is fun!
Native Doesn't Detect PS5 DualSense Controller
PS5 controller was not detected. Keyboard controls are bad!
The A and Z keys are used for throttle and braking. Yikes! I will follow up with a forced Proton report.
Few microfreezes and seldom crashes.
Microfreezes sometimes
Occasional crashes.
Free DLC cars don't work.
Used unofficial community controller settings works fine with that
Unplayable at default settings
This is a fun game and I'm enjoying playing it.
It would seem as though Codemasters were inspired by this game for their DiRT 5 release, however I'd recommend DiRT 5 over this. DiRT 5 is far better optimised and works perfectly on Deck without modifications.
Once this game has been twidled and tweaked then it can be played with fine however.
Added sharpening effect as described here https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1315184054
40Hz
Occasionally freezes for up to a second during gameplay
with mixed graphics settings, the game can run locked at 40 FPS with very minor dips in some levels

Turn on Steam input and controller will be detected.
A little stuttering but can be remove by turning on vsync.
Sometimes lost connection with lobby.
# Works great on Proton Native had problems running through prime-run or gamemoderun Proton worked great after fixing the controller
DualShock 4 was recognized as keyboard. Had to go into the game's properties on Steam, Controller, Enable Steam input. After that, it worked without any additional configuration
In-game 30 FPS cap. Medium graphics preset. The Deck is capable of locked 40 FPS at the Medium preset, but with minimal battery life.
Mostly okay. Some small text is hard to see when positioned over a lighter background.
Some shader compilation stuttering early on, rarely after the first 10 minutes or so.
Since Linux and Windows game profiles are separate, I did not test the native version, so I could continue my Windows-based profile.
In-game videos do not play with vanilla Proton. GE required.
UnknownDoesnt Run. You get a black screen and an error message "Fatal Error". However, i discovered that it is probably a Codec Problem. There are several people that have fixed that Error Message by simply installing an update called "Windows Media Pack N". Also the Readme of the Game says you should check that your "Windows Media Player" is up-to-date. So i think it is a sure shot to try it. Problem is... i dont know how to install that ".msu" file in Linux ^^' But maybe it will help anyone.
