Game works out of the box
Co-op mode with a friend who played on windows didn't create any issues either.
I tried password matching with a friend who played the game on windows, no problems at all.
When loading in new areas the game stutters quite heavily, particularly noticeable on invisible loading screens (long empty hallway, where the game loads the new area, in place of an actual loading screen), and after fast traveling, though it should be noted I installed the game on a hdd instead of an ssd. Other than that the game has no performance problems at all.
Proton-6.5-GE-2 GloriousEggroll
Used Proton-6.5-GE-2
sometimes some sounds would not play
The game has crashed two times
I experienced two crashes and some audio issues, although i cant be sure what is caused by proton and what by the game itself.
During the mission "The Heist" I experienced the black screen bug that others have mentioned, I got through the section with the use of the scanner tool.
I couldn't reach the same graphics settings as natively without getting a bit lower fps, however the experience was still smoother than on windows (atleast with the latest patch) because I didn't get cpu bottlenecked as hard.
Works flawlessly out of the box
I also tried multiplayer with a friend who plays on windows, during which I experienced no connectivity issues or anti-cheat related problems
Could not launch from steam with proton
In steam the game would show as "in game" for a short duration, but it never launched. Proton 6, 5, GE and experimental all had this issue.
Interestingly, if I ran the game executable DELTARUNE.exe from the steam library folder not with proton, but with wine installed on my system (wine-staging 6.16-1 on arch) the game would launch and play just fine.
This game works very well on linux using proton
Selecting the vulkan renderer from the ingame options increases performance nicely
The game plays well, it however crashes sometimes
the mentioned crashes
the game occasionally crashes when trying to load a save
renamed the game and launcher (.exe) binaries
As other recent reports have reported, a recent patch broke the launcher, and is no longer able to launch the game.
First I used the command other contributors have mentioned: "mv ./bin ./bin.bak && ln -s DefEd/bin bin && cd bin && mv ./SupportTool.exe ./SupportTool.bak && ln -s EoCApp.exe SupportTool.exe"
I fixed the broken launcher by going in the game files and renaming the (.exe) binaries for the game and the launcher, so that when steam tries to launch the launcher, it launches the game directly instead.
Now when i press "play" in steam, the game is launched and plays without problems, though I havent tried multiplayer, so if the launcher is required for anticheat purposes, the game may not work when launched this way.
Created Fallout4Custom.ini (located in Documents/My Games/Fallout4) with the following content: "[Archive] bInvalidateOlderFiles=1 sResourceDataDirsFinal="
Some mods require the above ini change to function properly/load
the game is very playable, even though it has slight audio problem
slight, quiet crackling, not too much to be unplayable, but noticeable
Flawless out of the box experience with proton
Runs without any problems, I could not notice any differences to the native windows version. From Properties>Compatibility I forced the use of proton experimental to use proton instead of native port
Flawless out of the box (with Vulkan renderer)
When opening the game, I went to the options and chose to use Vulkan instead of DirectX. The game was playable, and I did not notice any difference between playing it natively on Windows
The game really doesn't like alt-tabbing. Irregardless of whether the game is in borderless or exclusive fullscreen, alt-tabbing causes it to no longer respond.
Some controller models seem to give ghostly stick drifting that is not present in other games
No lagging, mods also function correctly
Played multiplayer together with someone who uses windows, no issues occurred
The report says switched to older version, but I just forced the game to use that version when it was the newest, it works so no reason to change
apart from strange alt-tab issue, works fine
When alt-tabbing away and back to the game, sometimes the mouse cursor could not be moved all the way to the bottom of the screen (in game), alt-tabbing again randomly solved the problem, or had no effect at all.
I have a 75Hz monitor, I think the game has an internal fps cap or something similar, as I experience awful performance without setting my monitor to 60Hz, also the game has a lot of screen tearing if I do not force full composition pipeline from nvidia settings
Strange alt-tab issue, where after an alt-tab the cursor could sometimes not be moved to a small area at the bottom of the screen. Alt-tabbing again randomly either solved the issue, or had no effect at all.
No problems hosting or joining (used steam multiplayer)
The game doesn't run nicely on my 75 Hz monitor, though changing it to 60 Hz resolves this problem. The game also has horrible screen tearing without vsync, the game itself has no vsync option in the options, so I had to enable it at the driver (force full composition pipeline at nvidia settings), however I don't normally use those settings when using my computer for something else, so it is extra work everytime I want to play this game.
Works well without tweaking anything
Performance somewhat worse on proton than on windows
I also tried using some mods from the steam workshop, they didn't cause any issues either.
Plays better with proton than native
sometimes would crash on load or save, though it only happened twice
I experienced two crashes, both after extended gaming sessions, the first one happened while trying to save, the second happened while trying to quick load a save
I tried the native version first, but was faced with audio issues, bad performance, and all text in the game launcher was unreadably small. Playing the windows version through Proton proved a better experience, as everything functioned correctly out of the box.
Overall very good experience. Performance with proton similar to windows.
The game froze once.

Sometimes the game wouldnt accept paste (CTRL+V)
The game would sometimes crash and offer to open wine debugger.
I dont know if the launch options even do anything, I just copied them from other users, and haven't noticed any significant differences in performance since adding them. The game runs well enough, with the occasional crash I got once per maybe 50 or so hours of playtime on average.
Steam seems to want to update the games shader pre-cache very frequently, about once per reboot per day. For me the pre-cache was quite large, at 12gb, so I just disabled pre-caching, which resulted in some heavy stutter for ~10-20 seconds when starting the game and opening a map for the first time, but nothing beyond that.
