All I had to do was switch from Experimental to 9.0-3 and it worked great.
Games runs perfectly using Proton 8.0-3
Game will not boot after enabling Fullscreen setting. Delete ~options.bin file inside path_to_last_blade2/Data and verify the integrity of game files from the Steam client.
Game has to be played in Windowed mode at all times. This is not a problem if you use gamescope. I used Proton Experimental 7.0-20230201 Flatpak community build.
Won't start.
I used Proton 7.0-5 flatpak community build.
Cannot maintain consistent 60fps
Game works perfectly in windowed mode but crashes on boot using fullscreen.
Game crashes on boot when set to "fullscreen." (Can boot game in fullscreen using Proton 6.3-8)
My previous report assumed a Steam client update was causing issues with the game, which was found to be incorrect.
Without tinkering, the game does not boot, so forcing the use of an older Proton build is necessary. (Note: This crash-on-boot only started occurring after the 6/2/2022 Steam Deck Client Update, the game worked perfectly on the default Proton build previously)
Runs perfectly :)
Flawless
