Works with a bit of tinkering if your Ok with occasional low frame rates and desynced audio.
PYROVEIL=1 %command%
Some crackling audio and when the frame rate got really low the audio was not in sync.
Until setting up PYROVEIL none of the textures in game, and even some during videos, would show up. Just a barren world and floating objects.
Until I installed the latest nvidia driver the game frequently froze and played at 1 frame per second during videos. Causing me to have to go back to save. With nvidia driver version 570 that didn't happen.
When the game froze, using nvidia driver version 550, I had to kill the game and re-load to continue. Installing latest nvidia driver fixed this.
To fix missing textures I had to install pyroveil and then put it's config file next to the game executable as described here: https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/8408#issuecomment-2657340142
After this putting this in launch options fixed the missing textures: PYROVEIL=1 %command%
In linux mint (prob ubuntu too) the latest and reccomended nvidia driver was version 550. However with this version I frequently saw sections of black on the screen in place of some textures, sometimes making it impossible to see anything.
I would also frequently see videos play at 1 frame per second and sometimes even freeze, requiring me to force kill the game. This didn't happen after I ugraded the video driver, although I did sometimes still see very low frame rates on high settings (less than 10 fps).
For ubuntu/linux mint you can use driver manager to update the driver after adding this repo: https://launchpad.net/~graphics-drivers/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
worked out of box
Some minor stuttering during video playback.
Just forced used of proton from poperties and installed using the suggested version (hotfix).
Worked out of the box. Just selected the latest version of proton, 9.0-4 and launched the game.
During part of this game there are some lines on the screen like on an old VHS tape, but that's part of the story.
The freezing felt more like a minor annoyance to me, except the one case where I had to reboot my PC after I died.
It wouldn't load until after I manually installed dxvk through protontricks. I also ran the installer for Visual C++ 2022 but it was already installed.
The game would freeze occaisionally and, except once when I died, it only froze for a few seconds at most. In the one exception I had to reboot to get the game to load again.
It occionally froze and in one case I had to reboot my PC to get it to load the game again afterwards.
I couldn't get the game to load at all when installing from steam without tinkering. I used proton 9.0-3.
