Fun trick: alt tab for a few hours and come back. A bunch of queued up sounds will play at once. 😨
Fullscreen crashes on screen transition, borderless/windowed is fine
Once you've installed UAP, go into "Arcanum/HighRes" and open "config.ini". There, set the width and height appropriately and change the windowed line to "Windowed = 1." Then, run "_install.bat" with your choice of compatibility layer. After you do this you should be good to go - but once the game is open you will want to use whatever key combination your window manager uses to enable borderless mode if you set the resolution to your monitor's own.
Proton versions later than the one used fail to load the game after the second post-character creation FMV.
It looks like workshop mods install incorrectly on Native. I had to make a script that takes the mods, which are stored in /home/user/.steam/steamapps/workshop/content/975370, and makes symlinks to them in /home/user/.steam/steamapps/common/dwarf fortress/mods in order to use them.
Native mode completely poops the bed and I'd only keep finding more problems if I didn't lose my patience playing
All of the sound effects and music has an "underwater" effect that I didn't experience playing on other systems. It gives up entirely after playing for an hour or so and simply mutes itself until reopened.
Weird, intense afterimage that gets better or worse depending on your gamma setting.
It very frequently registers left clicks as right clicks and I have no clue why or how.
Doesn't work, period.
And even if it did, you would not be able to save your progress, because EAC does not work. The "Untrusted" status it gives you means you would not be able to join other people's games, either. There is nothing to be gained in trying to play with this error.
