The game can't connect to the servers
As other reports say, apparently the game does a lot of split locking, and by default the kernel will slow down apps having that behavior. Therefore disabling split lock detection will most likely improve performance. Though I haven't tested it without split lock detection turned off as that's how I always use my system.
One way of doing that is booting the kernel with split_lock_detect=off, which is what I use.
Another method is to use sysctl to tune split_lock_mitigate.
But probably the easiest and best option is to just use gamemode, which by default it disable the split lock detection while running.
With Proton GE it should work just modifying the settings.ini file to use DirectX 11. You can also install V-Patch (useful to unlock FPS and custom resolutions) by following the instructions on the README
In my case the game didn't launched with latest proton (7.0-6 at the time). It just kept crashing immediately. My solution was to go back to an older version of Proton (5.0 iirc) and then it launched fine.
Once it launched for the first time it worked with newer Proton versions too, just videos won't work as other reports mention.
Proton-GE was able to show the cutscene videos.
Haven't noticed the issue with the VHS tape that older reports mention, it played just fine on most recent Proton version (7.0.5).
On Proton stable the game won't recognize my gamepad. Using Proton-GE solved that issue.
Online radio doesn't work. You can configure it and radios will appear, but when pressing the play button the game crashes.
If during a loading screen you press Shift+Tab to open the Steam overlay, the game will freeze and you can't do anything besides closing it.
