Install Xact 32bit (Windows DLL)
Missing sound effects (not all) installing Xact with Protontricks works.

install xact
install xact to restore sounds
Game speed is tied to framerate which combined with the game's auto sync to refresh rate made it unplayable without decreasing monitor refresh rate. Fps locking methods were overwritten or made the game not boot.
game changed to keyboard controls in the middle of gameplay
Controls worked fine first time I booted until about 5min into gameplay when they stopped responding, it wasn't until I read the other reports that I realized the game had switched back to keyboard. After I used the touch screen to navigate to the config and change it back, it's been working fine ever since, but I have no idea why it didn't default to keyboard from the start like it's supposed to.
Audio has two issues : Random crackling distortion and missing sound effects. The first fixes itself after a few seconds, and the second doesn't affect all sound effects, only a few specific ones that would probably be hard to notice to someone that hasn't played the VITA version or other games in the series, some of them include : whenever you get a tutorial popup, there's a sound that's supposed to play along with the "Teach me Histy" logo, some skills (like Saturn's "Bind Cutter") and some punching sound effects that are supposed to play during a dialogue cutscene to imply two characters are fighting. As this constitute a small percentage of the total sound effects, I would say it's a minor issue.
These issues aside, the game ran stably at 60FPS.
The game defaulted the keyboard input. When in this mode it does t accept any input from the controller (SteamDeck). As such it meant that opening movies couldn't be skipped nor the menus used; it made it appear the game was unresponsive. You need to you the touchscreen to change the setting.
If the game defaults to keyboard input, it appears to not work; use the touchscreen to change the settings if this occurs.

in game settings had to be changed to controller first. Default was set to keyboard.
Game booted up for me in japanese. had to change the in game settings to english.
Some minor framerate issues, nothing gamebreaking.
game works fine now
game takes a bit to start up but works fine after
tried on older versions of proton in the past but with proton 7 it just works and doesn't crash after a minute of having the game open
Previously I tried this game on Proton 6 but it had game-breaking problems. With Proton 7 the game runs perfect now.
Crashes before I can even get into a level
sound effects missing but voice lines and bgm still there
frame rate stuttered every few seconds
only got to play a few minutes and then the game would freeze and crash
Runs perfect out of the box but it's not playable due to constant freezing.
Cannot play more than 10 minutes in one session without freezing. Had to use SIGKILL every time to exit the game.
Tried every Proton version, including Experimental and a couple of Glorious Eggroll versions. The longest session without freezing was with Experimental, ~15 minutes. Others were way worse.
Worked out of the box with proton experimental

To fix inaudible sound effects, install xact.
WINEPREFIX="/home/user/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/571530/pfx/" winetricks xact
- Full {screen, window} mode ignores resolution setting and uses current desktop resolution instead. Example: 1920x1080 desktop > 1920x1080 fullscreen.
- Window mode resolution is limited to less than equal. Example: 1920x1080 desktop > 1600x900 window.
The game is unstable using both the standard version of proton and the glorious eggroll version.
Would crash within the first few moments of playing. Would also crash in the main menu and on loading zones.
It feels as though the game speed is based on fps and I am not aware if there are any launch options that cap frame rate.
Need to Tinker to make this game work
Sound effects were absent inside the game in all range from the menu to fighting SFX.
After I go into a dungeon, there will be a time that the game will crash while walking inside the dungeon or during fight.
tryed to play twice since the game start doesn't crash, both times crashed before first save.
Worked without any tinkering
Crash on a white screen while only videos and text have been played
Crashes on screen transition within 5 min of gameplay


Latest Proton release, works out of the box now. The game and sound itself works. Thank you for the winetricks xact tweak though but now the latest proton managed to add some more to xact so the Game has sound and its very playable. Awesome! Thanks valve for making this platinum.



Missing in-game sound. To fix it, run winetricks xact: "WINEPREFIX=~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/571530/pfx winetricks xact". For game launch issues force Proton 4.2-x or 3.16-9 Beta. (Caveats: Window mode limited to 1280x720+below. Fullscreen/borderless defaults to desktop resolution e.g. 1920x1080.) Game runs great at stable 60fps.


Needs winetricks/proton tricks for xact to get sound. WINETRICKS=~/winetricks/src/winetricks protontricks 571530 xact
PDP XB1 controller just works.

In-game sound fix: winetricks xact & winetricks sound=alsa

No sound, except in the movies. Also is limited to 1280x720.

No audio at all (didn't even show up in Applications tab of volume widget in Plasma). Resolution won't go above 1280*720. Everything else works well.


No sound except cutscenes. Didn't work with Dualshock 4 controller.
