Proton-4.21-GE-2 GloriousEggroll
Proton-4.21-GE-2 (proton-ge-custom github from GloriousEggroll )
1st level finished.
No Launch Options needed. You are welcomed by a white window: click a few times inside and wait about 10 seconds, then the main menu appears. Alt+Enter to go fullscreen. Activate securom with the CD Key provided by Steam. Multiplayer works too !! (I only tried on LAN, but it should work also over internet if you open the right ports) You need a "gamespy" server/emulator like this : http://aluigi.altervista.org/papers/gs_login_server.zip The source code is provided, it's very easy to compile (all is well explained in gs_login_server.txt)
1st video (introducing a new game) is played but has major artifacts
This game does really not deserve its "Verified" status. (See comment about video broken)
Game is at half speed
Game is 50% too slow
1st level finished easily because you have so much time to dodge bullets !
No music (same as Windows 10)
No custscenes, no music. Low resolution. Works as good/bad as on Win10.
Played 1 ranked game of Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo. I won. Life is beautiful.
Use CRT Lottes shader (with warpX and warpY parameters reduced to 0) to have best possible graphics for games of pre-LCD era (almost any console game before 2005, and any PC game in SVGA or below)
Maybe it could be played in keyboard controller mode + a joy2key-like program
Jump button unreliable. down-left direction unreliable.
slowdown navigating menu and ingame

This custom Proton version enables intro video (no need to skip it)
Crash at start and offer to send a report to dev.
Used to work with Nvidia GTX970. Now crash with AMD RX 5700 XT.
force_compat_profile=true %command%
If you have an AMD GPU (including Steam Deck), you need to put force_compat_profile=true %command% in Launch Options.
Warning : this game defaults to the native linux version (which is broken : game frozen after Unity intro). In "Properties", you have to check "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool" The Proton version plays perfectly.
Enhanced Edition still not working (I did not dare to inject DLLs from a random web site, as explained in the review below :)
Proton 5.0.7
Enhanced Edition does not launch. (But you can launch original edition with the same launcher, it works)
After 1st launch to install / update Uplay client, need to log out / relogin to Steam client before real launch of the game.
PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command% might help. I randomly reach main menu. Cutscenes have black screen and sound.
Continue from (an old) save game did'nt work.
Very low FPS in 4K despite good GPU. Can't change resolution ingame, so if your monitor is 4K you'll have to change desktop resolution or forget fullscreen.
Does not start : "Failed to request product key from Steam, please try again in a few minutes"
The "sed" workaround linked below does not seem to work anymore : https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/456#issuecomment-549046457
Launching the game in Windows does not trigger any product key error.
in arcade mode : opening cutscene does play, ending cutscene does not play, game is frozen.
stutter in fights while Steam deck builtin fps limiter is activated. I had to put it off and ativate vsync + fixed framerate ingame.
game frozen on an unplayable cutscene at the end of arcade mode
It's too bad that builtin fps limiter (gamescope) introduces stutter on this game. Luckily game's vsync does the job.
Don't install this extension ! Installing "Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II" is enough to access "Chaos Rising" campaign.
But if you prefer to "install" it you may run into the infinite update bug of "Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II" (A fake update is queued endlessly) Important : as "Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II" native linux port is broken, you have to use Proton.
