Crashes are too frequent and the game has to be restarted multiple times before being able to play it again.
Quite often the game gives me an error message of what looks like a rendering error due to a memory leak. This happens seemingly randomly, though every time I change the graphics settings I always have to face this problem and restart the game at least 4 times before having any chance of starting to play again. When the game works however, it works well.
Doesn't work.
Not even the native linux build works... Crashes upon starting a new game without any error messages.
Performance is way too poor to be enjoyable compared to running it on Windows.
The game runs significantly worse than it does on Windows. So much so, that (on my hardware at least) it is almost unplayable. On Windows, the game runs flawlessly with like a 70 FPS average. On Linux, it's stuttering all the time, frames drop way too often and way too hard, to the point where it becomes disorienting. Also, saving changed settings (any kind of setting) seems to freeze the game for at least an entire minute every time.
Runs perfectly after installing, no configuring needed. Just works.
EA Origin runs in the background, eating up your RAM and it's even buggy, it 'splits' into like 6 different windows and none of them make any sense. Before the game launches, Origin could even be usable, but after launching the game it just becomes this buggy mess that only exists to eat up your resources in the background. It didn't have an impact on my in-game performance however, but someone with little RAM might run into some issues.
Crashes are way too frequent, graphics cannot be set, Feral Gamemode is absolutely necessary, controller support is inconsistent.
No matter how hard I try, the game doesn't allow me to change the graphics settings. As soon as a setting requires the game to be restarted, after the restart the graphics are reverted to the default settings. Even the resolution has to be manually set every time the game starts up.
Altough I didn't even dare try Fullscreen mode (because of the reviews on it), I just used borderless windowed mode. I use a tiling window manager. If I switch workspaces while the game is running, it either... a.) steals focus, making my mouse disappear and me unable to focus on any window other than the game b.) straight up freezes and I have to SIGKILL (because it won't even respond to SIGTERM) the game and restart it.
Sometimes the game just decides upon starting up that it's not going to detect my Xbox 360 controller. I have to restart the game as soon as this happens, as far as I know there is no other way to once again have controller support working properly.
Unless you attach Feral Gamemode to the process, the game is barely playable on minimum graphics. Start up gamemode however and it becomes decent.
DON'T try to change the graphics settings when in the game, only do it from the title screen. As soon as you scroll to the 'Graphics' tab in the in-game menu, the game instantly freezes and I once again have to SIGKILL it and restart (losing a bunch of in-game progress in the process)
The game works out of the box after installing, no tinkering and fiddling needed. It's stable, I haven't encountered any crashes/bugs.
From time to time the game just drops from my usual 60 FPS to 30, but it's still playable.
Works perfectly
(In a Tiling Window Manager) Fullscreen fails to scale the window to my screen's size, only half of the windows is visible, the rest is just black. I just switch the window into floating mode and it looks normal. Log in and set it back to fullscreen once the game has started and it works perfectly.
The native build is fine, it runs well most of the time but drops frames from time to time. I don't have this issue under Proton.
Takes a bit longer than the native build to switch between fullscreen and non-fullscreen
The native build tends to drop frames under seemingly unrelated circumstances, which is not the case under Proton, but there are drawbacks.
Fullscreen was never actually full for be. A small space at the bottom of my screen just shows my desktop wallpaper. If some notification pops up on the screen, while it's present the game will lag tremendously until the notification goes away. If the game is not in focus and something else is open instead, basically everything else on the computer will be laggy that isn't the game. Neither of these problems are present in the native Linux build.
Just doesn't start
No splash screen, not even a black screen pops up. Steam attempts to launch the game and the game just shuts down.
Runs flawlessly out of the box
The one minor, insignificant thing I've noticed is that when the game started and you begin playing, the player must click with the mouse before being able to control the character. Otherwise, only the cursor can be moved across the screen.
