Tinker Steps:Other

It might crash during longer sessions, as other reported this only happens after a few hours of playing.
Tinker Steps:Switch to experimental, protontricks

Windowing:Other, Switching
Focussing another application will break the game and you'll have to restart.
Instability:Occasionally
► Multiplayer
Overall (local):Excellent
