Potato PC
Published
Both Steam and the game recommends controller, but my generic controller couldn't be detected where I played the game with keyboard.
Game starts randomly on either windowed or full-screen mode, without option to change it.
Native Linux doesn't work, but using Windows version with default Proton works without problem.
KDE Taskbar flicker frequency, although it's "fixed" by setting it to "Auto Hide".
With current default Proton version, the game only show black screen.
Great experience if you could tolerate occasional flickering
Occasional flickering which show KDE Taskbar. I tried few tinkers, but nothing works so i went back to default configuration. For me, it's not frequent enough to break game immersion, but it'll annoy some players.
- If you experience random freeze or small FPS drop, it's due to buggy game which only partially fixed (at time of writing this report)
- You can use F4 to enter/leave fullscreen
Good experience if you don't mind play on windowed mode
KDE taskbar flicker frequently on fullscreen mode. Removing tick "Allow the window manager to decorate the windows" and "Allow the window manager to control the windows" on winecfg Graphics has no impact, so i revert it.
Can't get stable 60 FPS on full screen mode
On few occasion, the voice start playing 1-3s after the text appeared.
The game unable to run OP and ED. I had to see the OP on Steam store page and the ED on Youtube playthrough video.
Run OOTB
Game still running after closing the game. Stopping from Steam doesn't work and must be killed manually.
Shuttering on certain area with ultra graphic setting.
Game stuck when you quit and i had to stop it from Steam.
- Game doesn't run at all using latest proton (Proton 7.0-3 at time of writing this report)
- Tested with Proton Experimental with Build ID 8928659
Alt-Tab during fullscreen mode cause game to freeze most of the times
- Minor performance problem on windowed mode
- Major performance problem on fullscreen mode (i'm using 2K monitor)
P.S. Use F4 to enter/exit fullscreen mode
Since this game are free and short, i don't bother try to fix the performance problem
I didn't experience any problem, although i lose interest to play this game after ~15 minutes
gamemoderun %command% --skip-launcher --dx11
After Patch #4, Vulkan doesn't work. Use DirectX as workaround.
Good experience if you can tolerate few graphic/performance problem
Persistant green circle on early part of chapter 11.
Major FPS drop on few area during chapter 14 and chapter 17.
Minor FPS fluctation, but it could be because this early access game has been abandoned
Game audio volume is very silent/low
Game become very laggy if you switch to windowed mode, then enter fullscreen mode again
With default version of Proton, game is very laggy
- I use community build Proton 6.3-8 (rather than 7.0-1) only because i use Steam through outdated Flatpak (where Proton 5.13 and newer wouldn't run)
- If you can see my previous report, please ignore it. I made a mistake due to slow internet connection and didn't notice default version is 7.0-1 (not 6.3-8)
FPS doesn't feel smooth
Nobody play this game, so i team and fight only with bots
- Game forcing "on top" if you Alt-Tab from full screen, which cause severe flickering
- When you return to windowed from fullscreen, game screen freeze.
- You need to use Alt-Enter to enter full screen. If you use F5, the full screen isn't fully full where blank left/right side show your desktop.
- FPS fluctation between 52-58 FPS (both windowed and full screen)
- FPS dropped to ~29 FPS when text box appear on full screen. There's no FPS drop on windowed, although the text still appear laggy.
Game crashed twice
- Fullscreen using
F5isn't fully full where i can see my desktop/app. It's solved if you useAlt-Enterinstead. - When i Alt-Tab from fullscreen mode, game screen freeze/not updated. It could be solved by exit and enter fullscreen.
- Some areas have no performance problem (55-60 FPS)
- Some areas have slight performance problems (25-50 FPS)
- Few areas have significant performance problems (<13 FPS), where it's barely playable and usually occur on difficult area which require trial-and-error, precise timing or both where i just about to rage quit
P.S. Proton 7.0-3 and GE-Proton7-20 even have worse performance.
Changed-special (which is upcoming remaster version of the game) doesn't run at all.
Prevent crash after 10-30 minutes
Beaten with single 2K monitor
Game crash once during short playthrough, but i'm unsure whether it's due to my system or game itself since few reviewer also mention crash problem.
When i press "Esc" game freeze and only show black screen. Game doesn't quit itself either after a minute, so i doubt "Esc" button is meant to exit the game.
Minor noticable screen tearing on fullscreen mode
Minor FPS fluctuation (40-50 FPS) on fullscreen mode, while there's no performance problem on windowed mode
Game doesn't run with default version of Proton.
Great experience, but take note this game currently on early access
I experienced some performance problem, but i deemed it's playable
FPS fluctation between 23-40 FPS with occasional shuttering. I tried switching to few Proton-GE and older Proton, but still have similar performance problem.
PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr11 PROTON_LOG=1 %command%
- Some shuttering and freeze during first 10-15 minutes after opening the game
- Few shuttering after >15 minutes
- Game freeze for few seconds whenever i enter new area
Whether with lowest or highest graphic setting combination, shuttering persists. In the end, i use high graphic quality and balanced DLSS setting which have least-worst trade-off between visual and performance.
Without tinkering, game have terrible performance (low FPS, very heavy shuttering and frequent freezing).
No problem as long as you don't Alt-Tab from fullscreen mode
After Alt-Tab and return to game, game screen is frozen. Although it can be fixed by exit and re-enter fullscreen mode.
Game always crash few minutes after you Alt-Tab
With default version of Proton, game crash very frequently.
Few heavy shuttering, especially when i just entered new areas. It shouldn't happen since my CPU is above minimum system requirements, while others are above recommended system requirements.
I experience few random shuttering and lag on certain areas on highest graphic setting (with ray tracing enabled), despite my PC is above recommended requirements.
Game doesn't run at all, even afer some tweak attempt
Here's what I've tried,
- Tried various version of Steam and GE Proton.
- Add several DLL and change Windows version using command
protontricks 1454010 winecfg.
The log file created using launch option PROTON_LOG=1 %command% isn't exactly helpful since it create 212K lines, even though the game only ran for ~2.5 minutes.
Run poorly with default Proton
Some random performance drop and freeze
Game itself is poor, so i only played for very short duration and doesn't try fullscreen model.
- Major FPS drop on fullscreen mode.
- After playing for an hour on windowed mode, game start lagging and i had to re-open the game to solve the problem.
On fullscreen mode, left/right side of the side show desktop/other running application rather than black bar.
Game sometimes freeze permanently when zombie is on next on me.
Run OOTB, but this game use "Adobe Flash Player 11" which pose some security risks.
Install regedit file typhoon_2000.reg through protontricks. I don't know console command to that, so i spawn GUI using this command then choose option to open regedit.
protontricks 283350 --gui
I did so because i couldn't open in-game setting to configure audio/video. This regedit file is necessary to run application which let you configure game setting.
Some textures seems to be missing and replaced with black texture.
After you Alt-Tab and return to game, the game only show black screen.
Cannot open in-game setting
KDE Taskbar flicker occasionally, although setting it to "Auto Hide" fix the problem.
- 40-45 FPS on fullscreen mode
- FPS drop briefly after enter different area/scene
- Major FPS drop after Alt-Tab few times, which only can be fixed by exit and re-open the game
KDE Taskbar flicker occasionally and setting it to "Auto Hide" doesn't completely fix the problem.
Minor shuttering during walking in big area or combat
I can't Alt-Tab, because the game force itself to be "on top"
With default version of Proton, the game always show blackscreen somewhere on last areas.
Add font file which fix blank square [] at 'STEAM_LIBRARY_PATH/steamapps/compatdata/574740/pfx/drive_c/windows/Fonts` from Steam Discussion - Definitive fix for English translation
Minor FPS drop on these condition,
- Few area in the game
- Switch between fullscreen/windowed
- After close steam overlay
- Switch to different application (e.g. using Alt-Tab)
Game crash occasionally, but it's enough to ruin the fun when the game itself has below average quality
Game crashed few times (mostly when i just walk around). But take note few review/discussion on Steam also mention random crash.
You must to Alt-Tab if you want switch to different window when you play the game on windowed mode, since the game always force cursor inside game
This game run OOTB
This game have "breaking 4th wall" mechanics, which works without any problem. For additional reference, i use KDE as DE.
PROTON_LOG=1 PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%
Stuck at choosing mission/difficulty
I don't know it's bug within Proton or the game simply sucks
Stuck when i try to play Single Player mode
I receive error message "Unable to start single player game" and game stuck only showing animated background
Using F2 shows the FPS fluctate between 50-75 FPS.
Game crashed once when i use F4 to enter/exit full-screen in very quick internval.
Alt-Tab few times makes game freeze/black screen
Using 2K monitor with keyboard & mouse
No problem at all, i just need to select resolution which match my monitor
KDE Taskbar flicker occasionally
- FPS drop/delay when interacting with menu
- FPS drop & late texture loading when entering an area
Has sound (e.g. interacting with chest), but no background music
Few fullscreen problems i encountered,
- Fullscreen works, but the game isn't aligned on center (black bar of left side is bigger than right side of the screen)
- When i enter fullscreen mode, sometimes the game/screen froze
- When i Alt-Tab from fullscreen mode, game/screen froze
P.S. Use F4 or Alt-Enter for fullscreen
Additional notes,
- I tried few different Proton version, but it doesn't solve any problem i mentioned.
- If you wish to tinker,
WINE_FULLSCREEN_INTEGER_SCALINGmight solve fullscreen problem.
Good experience if you don't mind few text got cropped
The text occasionally going outside the box. Usually it's just few character to one word, so it can be guessed easily most of the time.
When you press Alt-Tab, sometimes it cause flickering between the game and your desktop/window.
This report apply to both EP1 (which is served as demo on EP2 Steam page) and EP2.
Good experience if you don't mind few text got cropped
The text occasionally going outside the box. Usually it's just few character to one word, so it can be guessed easily most of the time.
When you press Alt-Tab, sometimes it cause flickering between the game and your desktop/window.
Game sometimes freeze for 0.5-2 seconds if you skip text animation, before showing whole text.
The Linux version is big lie. After i click download, Steam says already completed and Steam report the game has 0B size. Obviously i can't run the game and steam show error message about missing executable.
Run OOTB
Few shuttering, mostly happened on early chapter of campaign (single player story).
Extreme flickering when you Alt-Tab or switch to different Virtual Desktop
Game crashed once during gameplay and few times when you choose "Continue" from main menu
Few problem with windowing/full screen, but i did't experience problem on other parts
When you return to windowed mode from fullscreen mode, game screen freeze. It only could be solve by quit the game, so never enter fullscreen mode if you want play on windowed mode.
When i Alt-Tab from fullscreen mode, game screen freeze/not updated. It could be solved by exit and enter fullscreen.
On some scenes, there's no audio even though the scene suggest there should be some audio.
Game crash on last boss fight with this error message like this,
assertion failure (internal error information lgd_partyinfo.pas line 810
It usually happen after few turns. So i decide to perform workaround by editing save file which give character big attack damage so the fight could be done before crash occured.
I can't use Alt-Tab, so I had to switch Virtual Desktop as workaround.
- Protontricks to fix most visual/graphic problem. I don't know which package solve the problem though.
protontricks 467000 d3dcompiler_42 d3dcompiler_43 d3dcompiler_46 d3dx9 d3dx9 d3dx9_24 d3dx9_27 d3dx9_30 d3dx9_32 d3dx9_33 d3dx9_35 d3dx9_36 d3dx9_38 d3dx9_39 d3dx9_41 d3dx9_42 d3dxof d3drm dx8vb win7
- Edit
setup.inito change game resolution/shortcut based on developer's guide at https://steamcommunity.com/app/467000/discussions/0/357286532030856073/
- No audio when i shoot glass.
- SMG/rifle sound effect sound terrible.
- During cutscenes, audio isn't playing at all.
- When i shoot, only few object reflect light from weapon flash shoot.
- On few occasion, door is only partially rendered/missing few texture.
- Extreme flickering on loading screen which flick between loading screen and either game HUD/main menu UI.
Minor FPS drop on single chapter/stage. I don't remember which one, it should be about 2/3 of the game.
Game usually crash just before cutscene is started. There are 15 cutscenes, so expect at least 15 if you decide to play this game and face same problem with me. There's also single crash at last chapter with this error message.
Runtime Error 118 - Array does not exist or array subscript out of bounds at line 8342
When you die, game occasionally move you to small hallway rather than showing "Game Over".
This game use old engine called "FPS Creator" and the developer isn't very experienced, so some problem i mentioned might not be caused by Proton GE.
Fine experience if you could choose between default resolution or maximized window with FPS flucation
Game run fine on default resolution, but i experience FPS fluctation (25-50 FPS) when i stretch the game (this game doesn't have full screen option)
With current default Proton (8.0-2), game doesn't even start on my computer. But after changing to 7.0-6, game works without any problem.
- When you exit full screen mode or switch to different window, the game screen isn't updated. But it's solved simply by entering full screen again.
- If you use
F5, fullscreen isn't fully full. UseAlt-Enterinstead to get true full screen.
Run OOTB
KDE Taskbar flicker occosionally on fullscreen mode
Create dxvk.conf file on game's installation folder with following content,
dxgi.deferSurfaceCreation = True
d3d9.deferSurfaceCreation = True
d3d11.maxFeatureLevel = 9_3

- Game running between 55-75 FPS, even though i have decent hardware.
- Shuttering when I move to different area.
- Few random shuttering.
Lots of shuttering with default version of proton & doesn't run on older version of proton. Attempting switching from WebGL to canvas mode leads to far worse performance.
It happened because major FPS shutter/drop
Major FPS shutter/drop in many outdoor area. It happens on all Proton version, while Proton-GE only reduce the problem slightly.
After few hours, I noticed permanent FPS drop. But I just need to close and re-open the game to solve this problem.
- On fullscreen mode, there's visual bug where everthing turn into color green and white.
- On windowed mode, there's persistant small black bar on right side of the window.
Character sometimes doesn't jump when i press "S".
Minor shuttering on few occurrence.
Native version is broken where the game only show text "NW.JS".
Run OOTB
Game freeze for few seconds after you Alt-Tab and return to the game
Game still after after you quit from main menu. Stopping from Steam doesn't help either (i wait for a minute), so i had to find PID of the game and kill it from terminal.
I only play remade version, but i tried to open original version and could see main menu.
On fullscreen mode, i'm stuck at main menu and clicking any option does nothing.
Major performance problem cause laggy input
Very lag and whole system feel slowed when this game is running.
EA app get in the way. But once it's running, you can launch & play the game with little problem, even if you decide to install mods/patch.
gamemoderun PROTON_LOG=1 %command%
I use protontricks in order to install various mods and community patches listed below,
- ME3Tweaks Mod Manager
- Pinnacle Station DLC
- LE1 Community Patch
- Unlimited Sprint and Boost Duration
- One Probe All Resources
- Skip Minigames (LE1)
- Skip Minigames for LE2
- Early Recruitment (LE2)
- Unofficial LE2 Patch
- Reworked Kai Leng
- Expanded Universe - Mod Menu
- Omega Hub - Beta
- LE3 Community Path
- Expanded Galaxy Mod (LE)
- Take Earth Back
- Easy Pull-up Competition
- LE3 Diversification Project
- Unrestricted Weapon Upgrades
Minor lag/FPS drop on certain combat areas.
Game crash/freeze 2 or 3 times during whole playthrough.
EA Launcher sometimes doesn't run or run without launching the game automatically. When the former happen, one of these action usually solve the issue.
- Click "Play" again on Steam.
- Exit Steam and manually kill any leftover process (e.g. application run by Wine and Wine itself).
- Restart my PC.
KDE taskbar is flickering on fullscreen mode, but fixed by hiding it.
Fluctation between 40-75FPS, brief FPS drop when switching between areas.
Run OOTB
Game still running after closing the game. Stopping from Steam doesn't work and must be killed manually.
P.S. I just noticed all games i've played with such bug use WOLF RPG Editor.
Few audio effect in battle sometimes isn't played
Minor FPS drop during certain interaction or battle animation
On chapter 7, i got error message about timer/time when i failed to finish quest with limited time.
On highest/"Epic" graphic quality, game only perform at ~40 FPS. Although few user at Steam mention frame rate/100% GPU usage problem, so it's possible the problem lies within the game itself (rather than default Steam proton).
With very short game duration, it's not practical to perform any tinker
Game freeze every few minutes
Great OOTB experience!
Alt-Tab cause game to freeze/black screen
- Game freeze for 10-15 seconds when you exit from game
- Loading save file could take between 3-10 seconds
If you experience bugs, it's likely it's bug from game rather than bug from Proton.
Has few hiccups, but it's possible the problem lies within this awful game
Default OS mouse pointer isn't hidden in-game
Minor FPS fluctuation
I didn't experience problem (achievement also working), but i only spend about 10 minutes.
This game probably exist to pad total Achievements on Steam profile's "Achievement Showcase". Please check review on store page first.
PROTON_LOG=1 %command%
protontricks is used to solve flickering with KDE taskbar
- Run
protontricks 1147550 winecfg - Select tab "Graphics" and uncheck "Allow the window manager to decorate the windows" and "Allow the window manager to control the windows"
protontricks fix flickering with KDE Taskbar. But it makes games always on top of screen, so you can't escape fullscreen conventionally by Alt-Tab or switching to different KDE Virtual Desktop. Additionally, it means you need to use tty to kill the application when it crashed and spawn Unity crash handler.
The autosave only happen sometimes, so it's likely you'll lose your progress and wasting 5-20 minutes of progress when the game crashed.
Game frequently crashed after 20 - 50 minutes
- Using different proton version doesn't seem to solve the crash issue
- Relevant log that i could find is only
EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATIONwith codec0000005, which is most common type of exception according to WineHQ wiki and not easy to debug
While few user experience performance problem, i didn't experience any. The performance is stable at 1440p@75Hz.
Run almost flawlessly now
KDE Taskbar flicker sometimes, where i had to hide it.
Few random shuttering during playthough.
I only tried 2 DLCs on my Linux device
Proton-GE is used to solve problem video won't load/play
Some customization and testing might be needed, but it's worth it due to game length and how good is it
protontricks
- Install
protontrickswithpipx. - Run
protontricks 1150690 winecfg. Wait few minutes untilwinecfgwindow is opened. - Select tab "Graphics" and uncheck "Allow the window manager to decorate the windows" and "Allow the window manager to control the windows".
P.S. thanks @Matoking for sharing your customization
PulseAudio
Adding PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 to launch options (on Steam)
Minor delay and crackling, where i noticed it only because i've played this game on Windows. Fixed with PulseAudio customization i mentioned.
protontricks fix flickering with KDE Taskbar. But it makes games always on top of screen, so you can't escape fullscreen conventionally by Alt-Tab or switching to different KDE Virtual Desktop.
- FPS fluctuation between 60-75 FPS (i don't know whether it's game or engine problem), although i only notice it occasionally
- Lag when interact with game setting and game save/load
I also tried Proton 5.0-10, 5.13-6 and 5.21-GE-1, but it has worse performance. Proton 6.21-GE-2 made game show message "Error: Steam Not Found".
Game crashed once, but i couldn't find out what caused it.
- If it's your first playthrough, play OMORI blindly!
- I'm using latest version of OMORI (v1.0.8)
protontricks
- Install
protontricks.pipxprovide easy installation. - Run
protontricks 1150690 winecfg. It might take few minutes beforewinecfgwindow appear. - Select tab "Graphics" and uncheck "Allow the window manager to decorate the windows" and "Allow the window manager to control the windows".
P.S. thanks @Matoking for sharing your solution
PulseAudio
Add parameter PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 to launch options
Minor crackling which fixed with mentioned AudioPulse parameter
protontricks solved flickering problem with KDE Taskbar. However it makes the game always on top of screen, so you can't escape from fullscreen with Alt-Tab or switching to different virtual desktop.
- FPS fluctuation between 60-75 FPS (i don't know if it's problem within game or RPGMaker engine), although i only notice it occasionally
- Lag when opening/interact with game setting and game save/load
I also tried Proton 5.0-10, 5.13-6 and 5.21-GE-1 but the performance is worse, while Proton 6.21-GE-2 makes game show message "Error: Steam Not Found".
Game crashed once, although i can't find out the problem
The game only support resolution up to 1920x1080. But there's no need to use gamescope, you can use built-in sharp/integer graphic scaling,
Good experience if you play on windowed mode or don't mind occosional flickering on full screen mode
Did a tweak to reduce KDE taskbar flickering on fullscreen mode,
protontricks 1042670 winecfg- Select "Graphics"
- Tick "Allow the window manager to decorate the windows" and "Allow the window manager to control the windows"
Can't hear background music on Area 4.
KDE taskbar flicker occosionally on fullscreen, even after tweak
Occasional shuttering if you run on busy area or after enter an area
The game cannot exit/close properly, which shows block screen instead. I had to stop it from Steam.
PROTON_LOG=1 PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%
- FPS fluctuation between 28-35 FPS during gameplay
- FPS dropped to 16-20 FPS when commentary showed up
- I tried several environment variable available for Proton-GE, but nothing fix performance problem
An important note: In my case, PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 is necessary to fix blank/black screen
The game freeze/black screen few times after Alt-Tab many times.
Run OOTB
KDE Taskbar almost always flicker when i press my keyboard on full screen mode. I "solved" it by change it's visibility to "Auto-Hide".
Works OOTB
Video frame rate drop on few occasion, although i don't know if it's due to video itself or Proton
While the game support Linux, i encoutered critical error with message "Object reference not set to an instance of an object". That's why i use Proton.
If you experience bug (e.g. stuck randomly), it's probably from game itself.
protontricks 438010 d3dcompiler_43
Game save correct graphic configuration, but doesn't respect it. Every time i open the game, i had to manually change resolution/window mode.
protontricks 491650 d3dcompiler_43
Visual/audio change after you die few times is feature of this game, not a bug
-window-mode borderless -screen-width 2560 -screen-height 1440
The game doesn't seem to have option to change window mode/resolution, so you might want to use custom launch option if you have screen with big resolution.
Totally borked
Doesn't run on various Proton version (default, older version, hotfix, experimental and GE). On few proton version the game show pop up with error message "File not found".
- On fullscreen mode, there's visual bug where everthing turn into color green and white.
- On windowed mode, there's persistant small black bar on right side of the window.
- Rename executable "River Tails - Stronger Together.exe" to "River Tails - Stronger Together - DEMO.exe"
- Rename folder "River Tails - Stronger Together_Data" to "River Tails - Stronger Together - DEMO_Data"
Few random shuttering
We used a keyboard and a mouse
Game doesn't run with default version of Steam proton.
Game show "Loading" for few second, then it crashed
Tried playing this game with few version of Steam Proton and Proton GE, but nothing works. Here's probable relevant log message (from Proton 7.0.5),
Unhandled exception: page fault on read access to 0x0000000000000038 in 64-bit code (0x0000000001ae03a4)
After you open and click "New Game" or "Continue", it took a minute to get response for your first text input.
P.S. I didn't try Speech To Text (STT) feature.
Unless you're willing to beat this game in one sitting, either use Windows or find a way to fix save/load problem
After i beat a boss and saw following cutscenes, i decided to exit the game to take a break. Afterwards, i opened the game and found out i cannot choose "Load" option on main menu which imply there's no game save file. However, the game never say it couldn't make a game save file either (although manual save doesn't seem to exist). It happens with both Proton 7.0.4 and GE-Proton7-37.
My last report stated there's save/load problem. But actually this game almost never perform automatic save and never tell existance of manual save (even though i checked game's manual). When you exit from cylinder elevator (usually after beating boss and see cutscene), going to left until you see 2 sign/display which show character "<" and "S". After you enter narrow hallway, head left until you see option to save interactively.
P.S. I forget to switch back to default Proton recommened by Steam, but i expect this game run OOTB since this game supposed to use GameMaker Studio 2.
Major FPS drop on outdoor area
Main menu doesn't show anything (after you play a game and back to main menu), so there's no way to close this game gracefully. But it's unknown whether the problem lies within Proton or game itself.
Few screen shuttering
Game doesn't detect my generic controller
Game doesn't run with current default version of Proton.
On newer Proton/Proton-GE, the game only show black screen
6.16-GE-1 GloriousEggroll
The game supposed to show black bar (since the game aspect ratio is 4:3 while my monitor is 16:9), but it shows my desktop instead.
P.S. use F5 to enter/exit fullscreen mode.
Input was laggy due to performance problem
Very low FPS even on main menu. I tried these options, but couldn't fix the problem.
- Enable one/more environment variable (such as
PROTON_USE_WINED3D,PROTON_USE_D9VKandPROTON_OLD_GL_STRING). - Using different Proton version.
A bit laggy on fullscreen mode.
Run OOTB, but this game use "Adobe Flash Player 11" which pose some security risks.
Game doesn't seem to choose resolution which match my monitor's highest resolution (2K/1440p), which indicated by blurry upscaled text. I didn't find option to change resolution manually either.
When i choose fullscreen, game show maximized window.
When i start the game, sometimes it only show black screen or spawn extremely wide window before it crash.
"Esc" button sometimes doesn't work, so i had to quit by clicking Alt+F4 instead.
After Alt-Tab and return to game, game screen is frozen. Although it can be fixed by exit and re-enter fullscreen mode.
Stuck after choosing to start certain level/tutorial, where the game has >100% CPU usage & no loading progress/indicator
I tried few different environment variable and proton version, but i'm stuck at 30 FPS. Additionally only Proton 5.0-10 offer near-stable 30 FPS while different version have less stable FPS.
P.S. Use "F2" to show FPS/ms.
Near-stable 30 FPS is acceptable, but this game run stable 60FPS on Windows (so i decide to use Windows).
Some action during battle has no audio. But i'm not sure whether it's bug with proton or because this game has been abandoned on early access.
When i choose fullscreen, i still see KDE Taskbar and left/right side of my desktop.
Frequent crash during battle with error message like this
Script 'AnimatiomBattleGalv' line 759: RangeError occured.
float -Inf out of range of integer
But other user also report similar error message, so i'm sure whether it's bug with proton or game itself.
Screen tearing on full screen mode. It rarely happen on other RPGMaker game i've played.
Shuttering when enter an area
On initial run, i had some serious issue with version of many Proton/Proton-GE,
- Black screen on main menu (background music running)
- Doesn't start at all
- Got error message "The method or operation is not implemented"
But weirdly those issue gone on newer Proton (7.0-3, which is current default version) and Proton-GE (Proton-6.21-GE-2 and newer version) after i restart my PC.
Game occosionally crash when,
- You enter fullscreen mode (with shortcut Alt-Enter)
- Switch to different application
- Switch to different KDE virtual desktop (different distro might call it workspaces)
Short FPS drop on few occasion (such as opening door or building collapse)
Add parameter PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 to launch options
Minor audio delay/crackling which solved with parameter mentioned above
Noticable screen tearing on full screen mode.
When I open the game, it always starts on windowed more even though I've set "Full Screen ON" on the game settings. I had to set it to OFF and ON again to actually enable full screen mode.
Game always showing on top, so I can't Alt-Tab.
Few shuttering
Game borked on default and few older Proton/Proton-GE version.
The error message,

The game looking for audio files on wrong directory, so you need to use symbolic link to fix missing audio problem.

KDE Taskbar flicker on some occasion, although it's "fixed" by setting it to "Auto Hide".
With newer version Proton/Proton-GE (7.X and 8.X), the game has terrible performance.
Run perfectly, although this "game" basically only choose Yes/No many times
This game use Barnum effect. Please check both positive and negative review on store page first.
Native version this game is broken, always crash when i start a new game.

protontricks is used to solve flickering with KDE taskbar
- Run
protontricks 885810 winecfg - Select tab "Graphics" and uncheck "Allow the window manager to decorate the windows" and "Allow the window manager to control the windows"
protontricks fix flickering with KDE Taskbar. But it makes games always on top of screen, so you can't escape fullscreen conventionally by Alt-Tab or switching to different KDE Virtual Desktop.
FPS fluctuation between 50-75 FPS, barely noticeable though
Fairly good OOTB experience
- When you return to windowed from fullscreen, game screen freeze.
- You need to use Alt-Enter to enter full screen. If you use F5, the full screen isn't fully full where blank left/right side show your desktop.
Persistant in-game mouse cursor which i can't get rid of. It forced me to move cursor position so i could select game save slot you want to use.
Game crashed few times, usually when i enter full screen or switch window
This game has no automatic save, it's strongly recommended to make manual save frequently
Few random FPS drop during planning phase.
- When I use
F4to enter Fullscreen, the game sometimes only add black borders on all directions without trying to cover entire height of the screen. - KDE Taskbar flicker sometimes, where I had to hide it.
Minor text glitch, usually at the end of sentence. But i don't know whether it's bug or missing font.
No tweak needed with flawless experience
No problem occurred even if you use multiple monitor or monitor with big resolution
When you exit full screen mode or switch to different window, the game screen isn't updated. But it's solved simply by entering full screen again.
Game crashed twice during my playthrough
We played local co-op with 1 keyboard/mouse and 2 controllers
Native version only provide resolution option up to 1920x1080
We played local co-op with 1 keyboard/mouse and 2 controllers. Initially the game only detect a controller, so i disabled Steam Input Devices. But while the game detect all controller, some input button for a controller (player 2 or 3) also trigger input for keyboard (player 1) which limit what we can do as 3 players.
Few lags on outdoor areas during late game.
We used 1 keyboard/mouse and 2 generic controllers.

Seems to work OOTB, but i only spend few minutes since this game is just another copy/paste game
P.S. It seems developer take down their server which makes leaderboard and custom skins feature doesn't work.
Can't switch to windowed mode and change resolution (i'm stuck at 1080p while resolution of my monitor is 2K).
Did quick play (~15 minutes) with single keyboard without any problem. Although in general, some mini-games feels awkward.
Works OOTB
A bit lag for few seconds after load save or Alt-Tab
Game doesn't run with default version of Proton (8.0-3)
Few random shuttering when i try practice mode.
Game feels somehow laggy (20-75FPS) on some outdoor areas.

Cat meow SFX sometimes borked
Rain animation isn't shown for few seconds after opening inventory or chatting with NPC
Fullscreen mode show KDE taskbar and left/right side of your desktop. I made workaround to make the game looks "full" by,
- Hide KDE Taskbar
- Use black background
- Hide desktop items
- Hide border of the game with Alt+F3 > More Actions > Enable "No Border"
P.S. Use F5 to enter full screen and F6 to change game size
- Major FPS drop after playing for few hours, only solved by exit and open the game again
- Moderate FPS drop on farming area
- Slight FPS drop when entering an area
P.S. Horrible performance with Proton/Proton-GE 6.X and above
Game crashed 2-3 times and i couldn't find the problem
6.16-GE-1 GloriousEggroll
After Alt-Tab, KDE Task Manager (also called KDE Taskbar) always on top of screen
Testing result with different Proton version,
- Game won't run on "Proton-5.21-GE-1" and "Proton 5.13-6"
- Minor stability issue on "Proton 6.3-7"
Acceptable OOTB experience
KDE taskbar flicker sometimes on fullscreen mode. I "solved" it by change it's visibility to "Auto-Hide".
Game show "Oops, there is an error" message when i make a save (on DLC story), which cause corrupted save file
Permanent FPS drop if you frequently Alt-Tab
GST_PLUGIN_FEATURE_RANK=protonaudioconverterbin:NONE %command%
FPS drop on few areas and combats.
By default, the game only show black screen.
KDE Taskbar almost always flickering, so i had to hide it.
FPS flucation between 16-30 FPS.
- Technically playable since it's just RPGMaker game, but it's not very good experience.
- I quit the game halfway since i don't enjoy the story/level design.
