Seemingly flawless on Proton 5.0-10
I had about 10 hour on Windows 10 before trying on Linux and as far as I can tell, they run identically.
Wouldn't launch with 5.13-6 and seemed to run fine on 4.11-13.
If you simply installed and ran this game, changed settings from the in-game options menu, and tried to play, every thing would work fine.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
However, the Steam version of this game comes with two patches: a High Res patch and an engine patch called sfall. The High Res patch works out of the box, but I had to tweak winecfg to get sfall to work properly.
-In terminal I ran WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/38410/pfx winecfg
-When the dialog comes up, hit the Libraries tab
-In the "New override for library:" box I typed ddraw and hit Add
-Under existing overrides, make sure you see ddraw (native, builtin) and if it says something different, click it in the list, then click Edit to change it to Native then Builtin.
This will get Proton to use sfall's ddraw.dll from the game folder and allow any changes in ddraw.ini to actually affect the game. I recommend StartingMap=arvillag.map down under [Misc] to skip the horrible tutorial!
