I've been lucky to have an amazing experience with the game on Linux; not finished yet but 11 hours in across multiple sessions.
If I had a gamepad plugged in, I could use the gamepad no problem, but I was FORCED to use it, as keyboard/mouse was disabled. To use keyboard mouse, I had to disconnect gamepad prior to launching. Also, disconnecting gamepad while game was running caused it to crash.
My native resolution is 1440p but I'm running the game fullscreen at 1080p and I can even Alt-Tab without problems.
Luckily I never had a problem saving on the version of Proton I'm using. Not any customizations except the things others have mentioned:
PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 gamemoderun %command% -nointro -ReadTexturePoolFromIni
Btw I have gamemoderun installed and have been using that to play, I don't know if it makes a difference but I generally run my games with that unless it causes issues. Search "feral interactive gamemoderun" for more information and how to, it's really easy to set up.
Didn't work automatically with the built-in Proton, but works great with GloriousEggroll Build
5.11-GE-2-MF GloriousEggroll
Extracted custom Proton-5.11-GE-2-MF tar.gz file
Followed simple instructions to extract GloriousEggroll tar.gz release 5.11-GE-2-MF to a specific steam directory (see https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom for simple instructions, https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases/tag/5.11-GE-2-MF for the build .tar.gz) and then I selected that version in Game Properties.
Nothing else was customized and the game works flawlessly: graphics, sound, and DualShock 4 (wired).
Perfect playthrough start to finish. Install & Play.
worked with my DualSense over Bluetooth, recognized playstation button icons! Also worked with 8bitdo controller no problems. Game crashed out one time out of 20 hours of play, could have been a fluke.
Works perfectly
Another game that "works better through Wine/Proton than the native release", sadly. The reason I used Proton is mainly because it handled my xbox 360 controller much better than native. With Proton the buttons were all correct, and performance and visuals are amazing to boot.
LD_PRELOAD="" DXVK_ASYNC=1 gamemoderun gamescope -w 2560 -h 1440 -W 3440 -H 1440 -f -- %command%
I like to tinker but for this one probably don't need to. Added gamescope for better control over game resolution.
The way playing games should be. Flawless from install and beyond.
You can play for a little bit but then it crashes.
Sadly I got the crashing problems that others have mentioned. It seemed to only ever happen in the menu system, mainly while changing tabs. This essentially makes it unplayable.
I tried the tweaks others have mentioned but they didn't seem to change anything.
Interesting enough, I had the game crash on me on WINDOWS 10 as well, also in the menu system. But after that one crash it never crashed again (in Windows). Despite that, the menu system was definitely slow & laggy in WINDOWS 10 so it probably has something to do with trying to loading in assets/resources in a quick fashion. I wonder if it would make a difference playing off an SSD (was playing off spinning drive)
gamemoderun gamescope -w 2560 -h 1080 -W 3440 -H 1440 -f -- %command%
Didn't work with default Proton. Switched to Proton 7.0-6 and worked fine. Note I use extra things like gamescope just to have more control over the video resolution, but that's not required.
