The Free Demo version loads up, however, after pressing any key when requested, the screen simply freezes on a blue background.

Along not being to switch to fullscreen completely, the graphics resolution always remained on the lowest in game settings.
DS4 was detected, since the touchpad worked, however, the other buttons didn't work.
The game runs a little slow, even when changed to 30 fps.
The game running via proton also stresses out the hardware slightly.
Proton Experimental
Game requires you to restart when connection bugs out.
I ran this game using Proton Experimental, FYI
Important: In the top right corner of the main menu, you have to correctly select a server region, otherwise your ping will be too high.

Very good.
The game crashed with a pop up erorr, and immediately closed after I clicked Ok. It happened on the Underwater World level, where Kao shoots down a "hunter" fish, and goes to activate the third torpedo.
A person playing this using proton cannot finish the game.
Game crashes after completing the first underwater level.
PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%
If the game doesn't start and instead gives graphics related error, you have to add the launch option: "PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%"
PROTON_USE_DXVK=1 %command% --waitforpreload --noasync --gc2 nologo --nodx9ex You have unzip this (https://github.com/stevenlafl/Proton/releases/tag/proton-5.0-7-alyx-2) into /steam/root/ where you make folder called compatibilitytools.d. Restart steam, and most importantly, use Vulkan renderer. Vsync off, anti-aliasing low, dynamic culling on, dynamic resolution on, fullscreen on, VULKAN ON.
You might have issues with alt-tabbing though.

Distortion of audio during some battles.
If you leave the game running on title screen, it will freeze / hang. To avoid this, I press any button as soon as it allows.
I think I should keep looking / waiting for a different fork of Proton.
In properties Set launch options: PROTON_NO_FSYNC=1 PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 PROTON_USE_D9VK=1 %command%
To fix the audio, set these launch options in the game properties for Steam: PROTON_NO_FSYNC=1 PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 PROTON_USE_D9VK=1 %command%
All proton games crash, you just need to know how to crash them.
Doesn't start; error pops up saying "Failed to initialize Steam API. Make sure Steam client is running."
Online multiplayer does not work. You can play a intro scenario, which I suspect, is not very long. Even AI skirmish didn't work for me.

My keyboard stopped functioning when I was alt-tabbing a lot, however I am not sure what exactly caused it.
The game crashes right after the intro video ends, and the loading starts.
PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=0 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 %command%
The game crashes just before sending you into the multiplayer lobby.

Crashes eventually after getting past couple of loading screens, both using Experimental and GE 7-42. BattlEye is installed.
You have to use 5.9.-GE-7-ST or similar to launch the game. No longer works with 5.0-6, 4.11-13 and some other versions (BugSplat crash).

The taskbar remained visible.
