Launcher starts, game doesn't.
Everything works great, even multiplayer (Martian games). But game hangs when trying to close.
Hangs when trying to close game
Infrequent crashes. Unpatched Proton will not work as it lacks Media Foundation - game will get stuck after a few minutes
Occasional crashes on multiplayer
Crashes on multiplayer
Runs out of the box
Still runs like dog shit, but performance is almost the same as on Windows.
Doesn't even start
There is an error message with Proton 4.11, but nothing happens when trying to start with Proton 5.0.4.
Works perfectly with Vulkan, but you have to change in it the Settings first
Doesn't start
Tried with Proton 5.0-9 and 5.0-13. Just a black box and some Japanese text with two button, clicking on the left one shows an error window (ftp error) and clicking on the right one does nothing.
Does not start, stuck at launcher
Renaming Stronghold2.exe to FFLauncher.exe does not do anything. Tested with Proton 6.3 and Proton 6.12 GE.
Crashes after launcher
Tested with Proton 6.3 and Proton 6.12 GE. Renaming the .exe does not work like others suggested.
Now working with latest Proton. White screen when starting the game lasts very long, about 30 seconds, but works perfectly afterwards.
Terrible performance
Game is not able to surpass 30 FPS. Frequent drops to 12 FPS. Changing graphic settings does not help.
You are not able to click on UI elements
Don't forget to use gamemode
Crashes about every 20 minutes
No voices. Other suggested fixes only work woth PulseAudio, not PipeWire, which is the default on Fedora.
Cannot exit game normally or it will crash the system. You can kill the process with Steam.
Sometimes gamepad will only get detected when pressing a button.
Rare crashes
Playable, but tons of bugs
When starting the game, you're given 5 options, but the text is cropped and the look all the same. The first option is the default and uses DX11, which does NOT work. Go for the second option, which is DX9 and works. Alt-Tabbing will crash the game. Hosting multiplayer can cause stuttering. Short freezes when entering big areas. Tested on multiple Proton versions, including Proton-GE.
