Game runs even better on Linux than Windows 10 on the same machine (got a better score at the performance test for online play). Even though I have the habit of switching to Proton Hotfix, it could probably work on more regular versions. Excellent game compatibility !

Works flawlessly now
Everything works out of the box now, including online matches.
Online ranked matches are working great!
Flawless experience out of the box, wonderful performance at 4K
Worked out of the box

When exiting the game, an error window appears offering a wine debug. Not a clean exit.

Não funciona modo online Shadow Lords e Multplayer
Não consegui fazer o jogo funcionar.
With the latest Proton (5.13-5), the error when syncing to Ultratech servers at startup is gone, and Shadow Lords is now playable. Have not tested multiplayer. There's an "abnormal termination" warning from Wine when exiting the game, but it's only a minor annoyance.
miss factionality cant connect to ultratexh singple player redusced. good for local play offline.
charsh as soon as it finds a person to play with online

Must run in "Offline Mode" Game will crash out after the first fight if it's online
Post match screen was slow to progress, but before and after this, the game is smooth.
Game will crash out after the first fight if it's online in Steam. Lag between rounds.
Use Wine-Staging and have everything up to date

Game is unplayable
The game is unplayable on Proton5.13, I can't even get to the initial splash screen. Older Proton versions do not work. Modified Proton versions (GE) are unplayable but do load the game. Unlike prior reviews, I am using an AMD GPUI, which could add to the problem. Every menu, is a slide show.

The game starts and you can play 1 match, but crashes back to the desktop after.
Unable to connect to the online services, so retrieving or saving data is impossible.
The game always crashes after the first match.
Tested both with proton 5.13-1 and proton-5.9-GE-8-ST and both give the same result. Could this be related to the bug that also plagued Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition and Mortal Kombat 11 in multiplayer?

Everything is saved to the cloud and there it would not connect to server. Everything worked flawlessly while running on Windows 10 on the same machine
Since it wouldn't connect to server, I couldn't play online or load my save data. All offline functions seemed to work without issue
The game is playable while steam is in offline mode, but otherwise is very unstable.
Sometimes the game audio would become pitched down. It's a really strange bug that I've only ever heard happen with a couple of games.
If you play the game while steam is in online mode, it crashes after literally every match.
Playing any game mode that requires online does not work at all. This includes the Shadowlords single player mode, as well as traditional online multiplayer.
Online services are important aspect of game. However if you plan on playing strictly offline, game seems to work perfectly.
Enabling fullscreen results in completely black screen
Crashes after every game, unless playing offline (steam in offline mode)
Proton 5.0-8 seems to have fixed the graphical glitches in cinematics.

The game crashes after every match.
- The game works, but crashes back to the desktop after every match.
- Multiplayer doesn't work
- Accessing the store doesn't work
WORKAROUND: On Proton 5.0-6 you can play without crashes - launch Steam into Offline Mode, this will keep the game running with no crashes.
Game is crashing after a match when using Proton after 3.7-8. Online not working.

TL;DR: Use Proton 3.7.8 New versions of Proton will crash after fight On 5.0.5 launch shows empty window. DX not installed Online broken
A lot of issues where there is overlay or transparency
Crashes after a fight using any other version of Proton other than 3.7.8
Graphical glitches have been fixed, but online multiplayer doesn't work and game crashes at the end of every match.
Game will always crash at the end of a round.
Cannot connect to servers for online play.

Online doesn't work, crashes after every match.
The game crashes after every match, on the results screen.
Can't connect to servers (no online or DLC).
Using proton 5.0-1, every graphical glitch seems to be fixed. However, the online functionality is still broken, and the game still crashes after every match, when the results screen starts to show up.

Crash after every battle + weird textures in selection screen and intro scenes make the it frustrating. You must restart the game often.
Intro scenes and selection screen are broken, characters have black or weird colors. Fixed once in real battle.
Crash after a match in versus and story. It's playable, but you have to restart the game after every single battle.

The game cannot properly sync to the servers. The characters graphics are not properly rendered in the select and pre-match screens. Also, some visual glitches appears during the pre-fight presentations. After a fight is ended, the game hangs and crashes. The hanging issue does not happen in Lutris via the WineSteam runner (lutris-4.16 wine version), but the other issues happen as well.


Using proton 4.11-3, the characters are still missing polygons and textures on the select screen. There are also some missing textures on the stages during intro cutscenes. The game can't connect to the servers, so it's only playable offline.
