Playable out of the box
PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 %command%
I had to install the game and then apply the proton configuration BEFORE I first ran the game. Then it failed once and then fixed itself so the second time I launched it worked perfectly fine.
Runs perfectly
WINEDLLOVERRIDES=dinput8=n,b DXVK_FRAME_RATE=60 %command%
Вторая часть команды отвечает за лок фреймрейта на 60 кадров для устранения возможных багов со скоростью воспроизведения.

The entry point for this game is boot.bat
, which executes launcher.exe
, which finally opens Game.exe
. More recent versions of Proton seemed to trip on boot.bat
, but the vanilla Proton 6.3-8 works. (I had rendering issues with Glorious Egroll's Proton builds; I could hear sound and interact with the game, but the screen was completely blank. Vanilla Proton did the trick.)
The audio has some crackling, but setting PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 %command%
fixes it.

Для русификации данной игры и ее успешного запуска необходимо прописать дополнительные параметры. Первая команда позволит запустить игру с русификатором. Вторая ограничивает фпс до 60, иначе игра может ускориться (по умолчанию она работает на 60).
Used the Committee of Zero steam patch with protontricks https://sonome.dareno.me/projects/sg0-steam.html
Game does not have a framerate limit, rather it caps it's framerate at your monitor's refresh rate. Use DXVK_FRAME_RATE=60
For scaling over 1080p use WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1
alongside GE-Proton
The game did not work when installed to a secondary drive.
I could not play with a controller. The analog was buggy.
If the game does not launch, move it to the hard drive/ssd where steam is installed.
The game did not launch
Everything works perfectly out of the box!
Worked perfectly out of the box.
I did not see any kind of stability/performance issue whatsoever.
I recommend installing the Committee of Zero patch. They have a linux installation guide.
I used proton 6.3-6
(the latest at the time). So, should work with any newer version.
Install the "STEINS;GATE 0 Steam Patch" from https://sonome.dareno.me/projects/sg0-steam.html.
This is not required for the game to work, however the official localization is garbage, so you need this patch for the game to be an enjoyable read.
If you use this patch, you need to use Proton 5.0, as it won't work with Proton 5.13 at the moment.
Works fine with latest proton. S;G0 steam patch works too and improves the quality of the game.
Sound crackled sometimes. To fix it, I set the launch options to PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 %command%
Got one of the endings without any major issues.
Installing the Steins;Gate 0 steam patch greatly improved the game, with better translations, fonts, and so on. Linux instructions are available in their website. However, at the time this report has been written, one instruction is missing to install correctly the patch. You have to install Visual C++ Runtime 2017 inside the game's prefix before running the patch installer. To do so, if you have installed protontricks, run inside a terminal this command:
protontricks 825630 vcrun2017

Just works out of the box
5.0-8 fixed starting from the bat file. The game now launches without any manual tweaking.
Notable audio crackling in menu screens.
The fix to rename the launcher is well described in previous posts.
Recently the game requires you to force the compatibility tool version of Proton to version 4.11, as Proton 5 will crash the game immediately upon launch.
Works perfect after modifying the startup and running on older Proton
Need to do the trick with renaming "launcher.exe" to "boot.bat" and setting "EN" in the launch options. Also, I could not get this game to start at all with Proton 5, it just terminated immediately. When I forced it to use the older Proton 4.11 it worked perfectly.
Move or rename boot.bat
Rename launcher.exe to boot.bat
Under Properties->Set Launch Options, put EN
Or if playing the game in a language other than English, open the original boot.bat file in a text editor, check the language code after start launcher.exe, and put that in the launch options.
Had to mess with it in such a way that Steam doesn't launch the ".bat" but rather the ".exe" I had to trick Steam by saying the ".exe" is totally the ".bat" After I did so it worked just fine.
Flawless after renaming launcher.exe to boot.bat and putting EN on the launch options. Both windowed and fullscreen work without complications.
-in Steins;Gate 0 local files rename boot.bat into boot.bat.bak or move it to somewhereelse, then rename launcher.exe into boot.bat. And set launch option "EN" . . .-Playing it fullscreen make the game run 3x or 4x time faster than normal, therefore playing it in window mode is recommended. . . . -Changing the screen mode from windows mode into fullscreen in game make the game crash. . . . -The audio, visual, animation, interface work fine in window mode.

Was able to get the game to run perfectly after renaming "launcher.exe" to "boot.bat" in the "~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/STEINS;GATE 0" folder. After that, I set launch parameter to "EN" in Steam, and the game launches successfully from the Steam client. Prior to these steps, the game would not launch.
Rename "launcher.exe" to boot.bat, after that the game runs perfectly for me. Ran on Manjaro Linux.
Using previous completely stable entry tips, managed to get launcher to run by pressing "Play" on steam, however, after clicking "Start Game" in launcher, game fails to run and crashes
Proton can't execute BAT files, for this you must to copy the launcher as the boot.bat (yes, using the bat extension) and set as steam launch parameters: EN
Also you must to disable your joysticks launching the system32\control.exe manually using proton and their STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH
Same problem of Wine, a console opens for a second and the game closes by itself. Probably the workaround used in Wine works but I don't know how to use it with Proton (https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=37086)
Performs first launch installation. Does not start beyond a small black square
