Custom key mapping
Needs to run with Proton 6, otherwise it'll launch but it'll stay stuck at the intro scene.
Also, doesn't support controller, kbm emulation required.
Some loading times are noticeably longer than on Windows
Crashes are very frequent if experimental Proton is not used
No tuve ningún problema. Fue instalar y jugar
Game still have bugs making it difficult to identify the issues. The launch options still works but I do suggest checking the logs first
PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 taskset -c 0-15 %command%
-Had to install an older version of DXVK due to my hardware getting dropped from support. -Also tried to reinstall that EU4 engine that was included with game cause it was one of the fixes stated on steam discussion board (I didn't think I had to but I was seeing some errors something related to it on the logs)
It's more likely that this is due to my hardware rather than what is happening with Proton
Game runs fine after a fresh install. After that, a popup comes showing a fatal crash by the EU4 engine. This stopped after I rolled back to 6.3-8
The game doesn't run well on any of the GE-Proton7-43 and 33. I definetly suggest try using 6.8-3 for now.
Try the Master List of Phantom Doctrine Fixes on the game's Discussion board on steam next if only rolling back to 6.3-8 doesn't work.
Crash on when starting
PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 taskset -c 0-15 %command%
Tried Proton 6.3-8, 7.0-5 and experimental but the game always crashed on startup.
If you let the cutscenes play, the game crashes at the end of the video. If playing in lower difficulty, save before extraction, so you don't have to replay the full thing, or skip the cutscenes.
When I played with default proton, the game would get slower over time when solving the clues.
Crashes on startup
Tried Proton Experimental, then 7.0.5 then 6.3.8 launch parameters: PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 taskset -c 0-15 %command% older proton version don't even get to the start of intro, just plain stops as soon as it starts
It starts up and see the first video of the game and thenthe game freezes with a black screen stucj at certain FPS
No controller support but it's mostly a mouse driven game anyway
UI as a whole is quite tiny, still legible but not ideal
PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 taskset -c 0-15 %command%
Some in game videos doesn't play, you need install mf-install.
git clone https://github.com/z0z0z/mf-install.git
cd mf-install
WINEPREFIX=~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/559100/pfx PROTON=~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton\ 7.0 ./mf-install.sh -proton
You need correct the WINEPREFIX if you have installed the game in another Steam Library, the same for Proton, also for Proton version.
The game works without mf-install but you can't see some video/movie animations.
Missing the videos is a pity, but the game itself explains everything (but the final outro), so it is still enjoyable. Just less so.
PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 taskset -c 0-15 %command%
Cutscenes (like those after special missions) did not play, they simply get skipped
PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 taskset -c 0-15 %command%
Cut-scenes don't play.
About every 10 minutes the game crashed till I used "PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 taskset -c 0-15 %command% "
I only found the solution after looking at Proton DB and seeing many others posting they used PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 taskset -c 0-15 %command% to fix crashing. If a new to Linux gamer didn't know about checking proton DB they may have not found the solution
PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 taskset -c 0-15 %command%
Freezes if some cut-scenes are allowed to play
Proton-6.1-GE-2 GloriousEggroll
Needs Proton GE 6.1-2+ in order to start up
Game won't start unless you skip intro cutscenes
Stuck
With Proton vanilla the game doesn't launch, with Proton GE it does but it crashes every 10 minutes or so, PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 was able to solve that, but recently there was some update to the game and now I can see the intro (wasn't visible before) but the game freezes on intro scene (can't be skipped with ESC), if I drop PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 then the intro plays fine, there is a menu after it and the game runs fine, except it crashes after 10 minutes.
Freezes on intro video
Game was working fine with Proton GE, with Proton it wasn't starting at all (still doesn't), there were some updates recently and now the game starts and intro video shows (it wasn't playing before) and it just freezes, hitting ESC doesn't skip it.

Add command line PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 taskset -c 0-15 %command%
taskset fix from https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/838#issuecomment-557081962
Videos dont work. You have to press ESC key quickly when the test image shows up to skip them, otherwise it will freeze.
PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 taskset -c 0-15 %command%
With command line fix only infrequent crashes, without every 15min like clockwork.

Proton-6.5-GE-2 GloriousEggroll
Proton-6.5-GE-2
It is a bit slow given my hardware.
Proton-6.0-GE-1
Unknown(an hour with Proton)If you like to restart this game every 15-20 minutes feel free to try it on your system.
Crashes regularly after 15-20 minutes randomly. Doesn't matter at which part in a mission you are (e.g. fight or just infiltration).
Unknown(an hour with Proton)Proton-5.11-GE-3-MF
Proton-5.9-GE-3-ST GloriousEggroll
Using Proton-5.9-GE-3-ST since it comes with the MF fixes included, allowing videos to play.
You need to disabe Esync otherwise the game will crash frequently.
Apparently you need this fix for the cutscenes. I didn't test before the fix so I don't know if it was actually necessary. I think I installed this version: https://github.com/z0z0z/mf-installcab But if that doesn't work, try this one instead: https://github.com/z0z0z/mf-install
After minor tweaks, game run fine, there is a slight hiccup when loading scene or videos.
With Esync enabled game will crash after 15 minutes of play, on the clock
Game will run without MF but no video will play (opening, hideout move, etc).
Frequent crash make playing this game very annoying. On the good side, it does auto-save every turn.
Game crash to desktop every 15 minutes, pretty much on a timer.
Works great, for 20 minutes at a time
Crashes after about 20 minutes of game being loaded.
No real issues. Playable
Slight stutter on each turn / start of move
Unknown(< 1 hour with Proton)Load old save for 5 minutes - it works fine. Started new game. First time game crashes when I was changing char name. Started new game again with new game. First mission is fine except minor freezes, got crashed in middle of second misson
Unknown(< 1 hour with Proton)
Install xact via winetricks / protontricks to fix the broken sound.
The world map is a blurry mess. It doesn't affect gameplay much but it's painful to look at. Because of this it is a Silver and not a Gold.
Unknown(> 10 hours with Proton)Updating from Bronze to Gold after finding solution to issues mentioned below. Most of them, apparently, happened when the game tried to show a story/loading movie: when finishing a story mission or moving hideout. Requires a WMF fix (https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/838, look for wmf_workaround.zip) AND mfplay.dll from Win7 SP1. After that seems to run perfectly.
