The game works flawlessly. No graphical glitches unlike windows 10/11.
Tried to play game on windows 11, there are some graphical glitches, sometimes the fps drops. No such issues using Proton on my Linux system. There was one time when the game crashed after long play session, no big deal. The game works flawlessly, does not require additional settings.
Works better than I expected, without significant glitches
Mouse input stops working (especially when switching to other windows)
Some minor freezes when connecting to an online session
Notice: the game was installed on windows partition, then mounted and run in Linux.
The game works better than I expected. I played many sessions both solo and with friends in a convoy. For the whole time (15+ hours at this moment) there were 2-3 crashes. Some notes on the issues I've encountered:
- Xbox network and session connection troubles, solved by adding google public DNS (for ipv4 and ipv6). I face this issue with other xbox-related games, but it occurs only on Linux systems.
- Mouse input stops working. I play on a controller, so this wasn't a problem. But can be problematic for some players.
- Inviting friends to convoy is a trouble due to the lack of xbox game bar. Sometimes the game offers to join friend right in the game menu. But your friends probably plays from Windows anyway, so they can join/invite you.
All 3 games works quite well. There were some issues with the EA App.
The EA App sometime causing the game launcher (LE) to not launch.
Played all 3 games without significant issues. There were some minor issues: characters get stuck in textures when using elevators in ME1; cut-scene/next objective didn't start after cleaning a level in ME3. But I think that's game-related bugs, not the proton.
Sometime EA app could not launch the game (LE launcher). It happened in scenarios like: EA app update, user was logged out from EA app, the game crash/force exit. I made a copy of proton prefix's files for modding purposes. So if some issues occurred with EA app, I use that copy to revert changes and fix it.
Install and play, no issues during whole playthrough
30+ hours, played from PC and laptop, mostly laptop. I played right before the release of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, no significant issues, works stable out of the box.
Once I tried to change the graphics settings, specifically - DirectX version. After that, I couldn't launch the game. Spent some time searching for the config file and necessary option to fix it. Therefore, my recommendation is not to change this option related to DirectX.
Seems to work fine, except for infrequent EAC errors
Season trailer played with some freezes which crashed the game (so I skipped it next launch).
Notice: the game was installed on windows partition and then mounted and run in Linux.
At first, got some difficulties logging into Xbox (probably related to issues with internet provider / Xbox services). The game also crashed due to some freezes during the trailer. After that I played a session for around 2 hours without any issues. The game works flawlessly.
EAC weird random violations. The other day, I started the game and got a message "EAC detected local file integrity violation". So I ran integrity check and got 5 files to download. But the EAC violation message appeared again (for another file). Then I restarted the game and was able to enter session without any issues. This probably not proton-related, as similar issues can be found for Windows as well. However, it could still be due to my particular setup (game is installed on a mounted NTFS partition).
Freezes all the time, either when connecting/loading a match or right after a match starts.
Tried to play on new update (golf season). I can't play not a single match without game completely freezes. Sometimes it lets you play around a minute in a match and then the image freezes, controls don't work and audio repeating itself. After reinstalling and lowering graphics settings, the game freezes during connecting/loading a match.
Previous version of the game (Foxtrot season) was playable. But sometimes the game freezes during connecting to a match.
