Same as a lot of people here, WINE reports a C++ library issue and nothing runs.
Aside from issues with alt-tabbing everything runs fine.
Alt-tabbing causes issues. However I am not sure this is a Proton issue as I recall this being an issue with the original game on Windows at the time of retail release as well. Probably issues with the console port.
Rename SoundAL32.dll
Sound does not work at all by default in ME1. You must delete or rename SoundAL32.dll
After selecting which game from the new Legendary menu, sometimes the game would not launch into fullscreen (left me looking at the desktop) and had to be alt-tabbed into to get working properly.
Playable after MANY tweaks...
Some people apparently had it easier than me getting this game working. This was a pretty bad experience.
Basic steps i had to use to get it working...
- Install game and run once (won't work)
- Install protontricks (this required installing a lot of other things too on my system)
- Use protontricks to install .NET 4.8 which will force an install of .NET 4.0 and will give you many errors and the install takes forever even on my 5900x system
- None of the above fixed it for me, after spending over an hour working on this I found a program you have to run to patch the game itself to work under Linux: https://github.com/Linux74656/SpaceEngineersLinuxPatches
Finally after all that, I got it working.
Overall this was NOT a good experience and I can't suggest anyone else do this unless you simply are a masochist or REALLY need to play this. It would be easier to just install windows on a second partition and run it there!
I had to install and run this manually by adding non-steam game to my library and choosing the launcher executable. Then running the launcher through that method patched/downloaded the game. After launching the game properly with this method, it worked fine using the normal steam library option with proton. On my particular setup it [b]refused[/b] to launch the launcher any other way. Everything is working fine now though.
Alt-tabbing works but sometimes is glitchy and will cause the screen to flicker and stutter.
I am unable to figure out if this is a game issue or a linux issue but ocassionally while loading a new sector/zone (with the loading screen) the game just sits there and never finishes loading. This may not be a proton issue though.
Unable to even start Launcher
After completing the install of the game, clicking play does absolutely nothing. I've also tried various tweaks including esync and nothing works. The launcher never even starts.
Aside from occasional stuttering, the game runs fine now. My previous borked report was resolved by moving my library to an ext4 partition.
Occasional stuttering was present at 1080P with all settings on ultra. Changing SSAO (the biggest performance increase) to off did not help. I suspect the game just stutters regardless. It only happens every 30 seconds or so. It's not constant, otherwise the game runs fine.
