Tricks as default.
I do have Protontricks and Winetricks but those are on default and have not touched settings in those.
It Just Works
Linux native version runs perfectly.
runs out of the box doesn't take too many resources
Works perfect out of the gate
Zero issues
gamemoderun %command%
Native runs good with no issues. The only reason I run proton is updating Lua for barotrauma (dependency for a lot of mods) which is a lot more convenient through proton.
Game works perfectly fine on Native. Disregard everything I've said in my past report, I wish I had the option to unpend it.
gamemode %command%
Use Performance Fix if you play with mods, as this game doesn't have the best optimization for both Windows and Linux.
The problem ended up being a bot conflict (the pesky little things) and it not having a weapon decided to use a tool fom a mod (Immersive Repairs) to fight instead, freezing my game. If you play with that mod in Campaign, give all of your bots at least a screwdriver!!
Native works perfect unless you play a campaign with medium-heavy mods, as the game will become more unstable. Swap to Wine to fix.
gamemode %command%
I've heard the game uses one core? Not sure if this is realistic/true, but the game has some optimization issues both on Windows and Linux.
It appears the linux native version has some issues when too much entities are on screen, probably something overlooked by the devs (Not that I can blame them, probably just tested it without mods.). This caused my game to freeze permanently whenever a creature attacked any of my crewmembers in the campaign (which is a common occurence throughout the game), forcing me to kill the game. This is not an issue if you're not running mods, which I heavily recommend at least using some mods. Swapping to the Windows version (via Wine) offers similar peformance and much more stability. Also, Peformance Fix (a mod) did make the game run better but did not fix the stability issues mentioned eariler.
If you were wondering what mods I was using, the major ones I was using was: Neurotrauma, COR, Real Sonar, Improved Husks, Enchanced Reactors, and Immersive Repairs.
Switch compatability to "Steam Linux Runtime 1.0 (scout)". Game used to crash without it.
No issues. Was able to play with mods.
Change layout if you have problems with WASD

native port works fine, don't use proton.
Using proton caused consistent crashes opening the server browser. I noticed the crash happens right when it's done syncing up to your steam friends list. Not too big of an issue though as the native port works flawlessly and with the source code being semi open I can't imagine the port ever being fully abandoned.
__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia gamemoderun %command%
Change the US layout. WASD does not work on other layouts
Linux gaming done right!
Flawless experience from caring developers.
Good experience ONLY if you play with Mouse and Keyboard, otherwise it really make the game unenjoyable.
Not really readable without an external screen
Game have some frame drops when playing with a lot of people
Few frames drop but they are not consistent somehow making it not a big deal.
Whole screen flashes or turns off for a bit every now and then
Should be fine for most people, maybe it is a hardware or software issue on my end?
Works perfectly
Works perfectly in-game but my friend had some connection issues. But it might be related to the game or Steam rather than proton.
works great out of the box
same glitchy mess as one windows 10
gamemoderun %command%
Made captain drunk without him even noticing it
Runs perfectly out of the box
No tinkering needed, just install on Steam and play. No performance issues.
Joining games worked flawlessly.
Game runs perfectly fine
No proton or tinkering needed at all
Nothing to say, works right out of the box.
SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 %command%
I'm on Wayland, it didn't work without setting the launch options
MANGOHUD=1 gamemoderun %command%
Game is heavily CPU bound. So slowdowns can be normal, depending on the CPU
Not playable to due to bad controller input support. The controls are all over the place. You will be having a hard time playing on Steam Deck.
Native, nothing else
The game runs perfectly, no problems detected
