Game will not launch at all (not even launcher)
The game does not launch through steam and is simply stuck on "launching". Have tried experimental/proton 8, and the various launch options and tricks mentioned here but nothing works. Installing dot net 4.8 or 6 does not work at all. It does not even create a log file even after adding PROTON_LOG=1 %command%.
Finally work OOTB
It seems there were some initial problems with the earlier Nvidia 535 drivers and Proton 8 (prefix was not being created correctly). But have now updated to the latest ones and having no issue. My second issue was with mangohud. I had it globally enabled through goverlay with enforces mangohud=1 which was the cause for error in why my game was not even starting/stuck at "launching". Disable this and just run mangohud using launch command mangohud %command. Fix has already been committed in the repo but this is my setup for now and it works!
Finally works well
There were earlier problems with proton 8/experimental and the earlier 525 drivers. I am running the latest ones now, 535.98, and it allows steam to finally create the prefixes properly.
Separately, there is/was an issue with mangohud wherein having it enabled via mangohud=1 caused problems. I initially had it globally enabled for my PC via GOverlay hence the problem. I have since turned it off and just enabled it via launch command mangohud %command% and the game runs great.
PlayStation DS4 controller was not initially detected. Followed this and it now works. NOTE: Xbox buttons showing in the game, not DS4 buttons. Seems there is no way to fix this currently, waiting for a patch...
Crashed once when playing for about 3 hours
Using Proton Experimental, have to run with PROTON_NO_FSYNC=1 otherwise the game freezes and crashes after roughly 3 hours (give or take) of gameplay.
Controller must be plugged in before launching, also, there is no way to get PlayStation button prompts on this game (blame FromSoftware), it will be Xbox buttons
The game can randomly crash whether in the menu or in the middle of a game.
The game itself still needs some more patches. On linux, the game hangs randomly, audio still plays on normally, then it crashes. The crashes still happen on Windows but less frequently; so unfortunately for now that is how I am playing the game.
Also, I only play offline, I don't touch online modes.
Lots of frames drops and stuttering
Game loads fine but unfortunately the frame drops and stuttering makes the game unplayable especially since this relies on fast reaction time
