ProtonDB | Game Details for Spiritfarer: Farewell Edition

Ran like a dread, straight out of the box

No tinkering was required, I ran it as steam gave it to me after the install. There was no issues in graphics, sound or mechanics.

Runs pretty much out of the box. Might need to force Proton Experimental to remove some of the graphical glitches that are very minor.

Tinker Steps:Switch to experimental

Graphics:Minor Artifacts

Some water reflections in the far away objects look pixelated, and scrolling rapidly through menus can cause graphical glitches to appear every now and then.

Other than gamepad input being unresponsive for me, the game mostly works as intended and should be a very enjoyable experience for most.

Tinker Steps:Custom Proton: GE-Proton9-10

Graphics:Minor Artifacts

Shimmery/fuzzy graphical anomaly in water reflections. Everything else looks exactly as expected.

Windowing:Other

When windowed, the displayed contents are sort of 'cropped into' instead of being resized to the appropriate window size, with a bottom portion of the displayed contents being moved below view.

dTo my knowledge, this doesn't stop you from playing the game properly, but it's a minor annoyance nonetheless.

Input:Responsiveness

As evidenced by a controller icon being displayed in the control rebind section next to a keyboard icon, and no longer appearing when I disconnected my controller, my PS5 Dualsense controller was detected properly. However, when attempting to control the game using my controller, it was entirely unresponsive.

Tested via Bluetooth and wired USB connections.

Gamepad Input: Detected, Unresponsive (Bluetooth & Wired USB) Graphical Bugs: 1 (Very Minor), 1 (Unsure If Intended, Very Minor) Audio Bugs: None
