ProtonDB | User Profile for alphonso06

Game sometimes ignored full-screen settings and would launch windowed
Moving the game to a second display will often break the resolution and ping-pong back and forth between displays
Alt-tabbing is highly likely to cripple your frame-rate to single-digits, requiring a restart to fix

Performance:Significant Performance Problems

I enabled the HUD for Vulkan and found to be running the game at apx. 75 fps, but the game feels like it's running half that frame rate. I also encountered a lot of stuttering on random locations.

Significant Bugs:

Aside from the aforementioned alt-tab frame-rate reduction, there's nothing else to note.

Tinker Steps:Launcher: Desktop Mode

Battery Performance:

9 Watts TDP; 900 MHz GPU Clock Speed - Roughly 3 hours of battery life.

Secondary Launcher Problem:

The Xbox Sign In popup will not work in Game Mode/Big Screen, and will require Desktop Mode, and an external keyboard.

Graphics:Minor Artifacts, Other

Certain car interiors will fade with a blur effect. Might be related to FSR with the Blur setting enabled.

Input:Other

Sign In popup requires an external keyboard since using the built-in one just closes the popup and fails to authenticate.

► Multiplayer

Overall (online):Excellent

Did some free-roam and Horizon Tours. It's seamless and practically the same experience on Windows 11.

Just remember your first Xbox Sign In needs to be in Desktop Mode and preferably with an external keyboard.

Playing around with the Music Mode will sometimes completely remove the music. The Pause/Play button won't do anything. A restart is required to fix this issue.

A process called 'pressure-vessel-launcher' would not stop running in the background and had a lot of disk write activity. This only happened once during a 4-5 hour test. Needed to use system monitor to terminate it.
