Game crashes on startup with various proton versions installed.
Unfortunately I can't seem to convince this one to start. I've googled and found that apparently I need to manually install Steamworks, but Steamworks isn't available in the store, so not sure how to do this. Tried Proton 7, 8 and experimental. Tried WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xaudio2_7=b,n" %command% as well, makes no difference. One thing I noticed: I have two Steam storage folders setup (well, there's the one on system drive, which can't be changed, which lists 'Steamworks' as part of installed apps. I then have another folder on a 2nd SSD, which does not have Steamworks listed...and that's where Alan Wake is installed. So that may well be the issue, no idea.)
Seeing as savegames are inaccessible, you cannot save progress, making the game unplayable
Game fails with following error every time: Error Failed to read: C: \ users \ steamuser \ Saved Games \ Quantic Dream \ Detroit Become HumarAS \ 76561197977584438 R INTER_3\Default-cvl-sv7/Flowcharts/ Flowcharts.qdsav
Without being able to save, the game is unplayable.
I would currently discourage playing this on Linux if you are frame-pacing sensitive. If not, go for it.
Added the PhysicsRate=120 trick to the config, but that didn't really help
Game stuttered a lot. Highly inconsistent frame pacing. Fine on Windows. Used PhysicsRate=120 which helped a little, but not enough.
Comparing this between Linux and Windows, the performance difference is very noticeable. However, the game also looks choppy on windows without PhysicsRate=120 being enabled in the config file. Once that's been set, Windows is perfect. Linux still stutters.
Game simply crashes on double-click
The hitching / periodic stutter (every 5-10s) makes this difficult to play
Game hitches every few seconds, making it difficult to play
If anyone can figure out how to get this to run smoothly, it'd be Platinum for me as well
Make sure to run in windowed (not borderless, windowed) mode if you get periodic stuttering at regular ~5s intervals
Game hitches / stutters every 5s in full screen. Need to run in windowed mode. I also limited fps to 60. That resolves stuttering entirely.
