As a few people below mention, forcing proton allows mods from the workshop to work well since they might have windows-exclusive shader code.
perfect except mods
sometimes some mods work with minor flawes especially anti armor weapons but other than that perfect
Worked flawlessly, no issues whatsoever
The multiplayer mod "RavenM" worked aswell!
For modding, enable Proton to play the Windows version of the game
Most mods for this game will not run on Linux because they make use of Windows code/shaders(?). Not exactly sure why, but even though the Linux native port works without issue, you will probably want to use the Steam workshop. To do so, just enable Proton under the game settings and you'll be using the Windows version. All mods should now run fine. RavenM also works under Proton.
It has a native version but i do not recommend, mods are the best part of this game and they dont work well on linux.

Using proton version didnt caused any issues with any mods(and i use a lot of them) and gave similar perfomance even when spawning 200, 300 bots on the map.
Works 100%
Althought the game is native, the vast majority of the mods make use of Windows shaders, so you will have to use Proton which works great.
The game runs perfect with Proton. On Native you will have some issues as using free visual/aiming or mods, so if you want to enjoy the game at it's most you will have to use Proton.
Runs smooth. Too many mods will crash game. Community control layouts are usually very easy to use.
Run the game with no mods then disable those you dont need then restart with mods
Crashes if you change too many settings or load too many mods
Mods sometimes crash game
Should be a verified game if mods didn't crash the game.
Need to find a good one or make your own default is junk
Havent tried mods but default experience is great
Not bad just don't play with the music
I'm on a chromebook guys
This game has a steam version it's awesome just get it if you love old battlefield games.
Note that some mods may be broken due to recent updates to the game. So there may be missing texture and or weapons not being "held" properly
There's no formal gamepad support; you'll have to use a community controller config or make your own. Past that, Ravenfield runs great.
To use the Vulkan backend if not automatically enabled, append -force-vulkan to your launch options.
Runs better on Proton than the native Linux OpenGL implementation for the Beta 26. The bugs from Beta 26 on Windows do carry over here tho
I only tried the Beta version 26 at the time of writing this. I cannot attest to the non-Beta version as I am not interested in exploring that currently and would prefer testing the Beta instead. As stated above, the Beta 26 is buggy when it comes to mods due to the Unity update affecting animation behavior when it comes to mods and some collision of objects is affected, so those remain, but aren't any different from the native Windows implementation.
won't start(EA25)
native version:didn't response when starting
proton: simply won't start
Proton felt better than native build. Pleasant experience!
This game is somewhat unoptimized in my opinion, but that's the same throughout the Windows, Mac, and Linux builds. Expect some 'jumpiness' with high bot counts or a number of mods. Base game should run fine.
As long as realistic expectations are set, Proton should provide an acceptable experience with mods possibly looking better
Using ACO 20.1.7 compiler with Launch options: RADV_PERFTEST=aco mangohud
Sometimes while on fullscreen, doing an Alt-Tab between programs such as Brave browser and back to Ravenfield causes the keyboard keys to fail to respond only ingame, force quitting Alt+F4 and reopening normally was needed from my limited testing
While there is a native Linux client, some mods (at least for a few maps like Baneburg) display textures incorrectly when running them in the native Linux version - they show up as colored pink or black instead. Running the game in Proton helps alleviate that, at the expense of seeing slight stuttering and frame drops roughly ~10 fps less than the Windows native version depending on the mod and how many bots/vehicles are visible at a time.
It's not greatly optimized even for native Linux or Windows anyway, so such moments shouldn't detract from the overall experience.
UnknownWorks great on both platforms
