Works out of the box.
I did play coop with friends without any problems.
Ran out of the box and I didn't notice any performance problems. Coop worked without issues too.
Works but has like on Windows a bug that makes it crash on startup. Possible workaround in the notes.
The game crashed on start regardless of running it under Proton or Windows. Took a while to figure it out but apparently it's a bug with OpenSSL on Intel CPUs of generation 10+. There are two workarounds:
- Play without an internet connection
- Do a little tinkering in the registry (for Proton)
For the latter:
# change from PATH_TO_WHERE_YOUR_STEAMAPPS_FOLDER_IS to the right path for your system
# I'm assuming here that you are using Proton 7 but you can change that too
# Execute the following line in a terminal to open the registry editor
WINEPREFIX=PATH_TO_WHERE_YOUR_STEAMAPPS_FOLDER_IS/steamapps/compatdata/289130/pfx PATH_TO_WHERE_YOUR_STEAMAPPS_FOLDER_IS/steamapps/common/Proton\ 7.0/dist/bin/wine64 regedit
# In the new window that opened you should navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment
# and right-click -> new -> string value
Value name: OPENSSL_ia32cap
Value data: :~0x20000000
As per link from above, setting this "[...] disables the OpenSSL code check for SHA extensions and runs a different code path that does not contain the crashing bug"
Works out of the box with Vulkan
Sometimes when light from a static lamp was falling on a wall, the area had a bright outline.
In the launcher I had to change from DX12 to Vulkan because the game crashed immediately with the former. But then it works out of the box and I didn't notice any performance problems. I only played the campaign, so I had EAC disabled in the settings and can't comment on how well the multiplayer works.
Works out of the box
I disabled "On-demand patching" in the launcher options as the download occasionally got stuck on map changes.
Works out of the box.
In the campaign mode the videos were sometimes freezing at the last frame but the game continued when clicking the left mouse button to "skip" the video.
If you are wondering why the game is playing at around 35 FPS, the frame rate of the game is tied to the "game speed" setting.
I can't say if it just happens under Linux but the cutscenes are a bit quiet in comparison to normal gameplay and the music can drown out the voices at times.
When I had set the shadows on "High", the game ran abysmal with FPS constantly under 15. Putting shadows on the next lower setting "Normal" allowed for smooth gameplay at 60+ FPS.
Apparently not all motion blur effects are off when disabling it in the settings, so I added "-extendedmotionbluroff" to the launch parameters as well as "-fastvisor" to counter slowdowns in the visor sections of the game. Link to the source
Launch options:
%command% -extendedmotionbluroff -fastvisor
