Consistently getting better FPS and more stable frametimes than on Windows. A few times, black loading screens got stuck until I tried moving my mouse/pressing keys, but nothing game-breaking.

Framerate gets choppy every now and then, but the occurrences are far and few between
- The game freezes and there's screen tearing only during the first ~10 seconds as the VRAM gets filled - I drew this conclusion based on data from dxvk hud. Everything is mostly buttery smooth afterwards. I also suggest disabling the Uplay overlay, as other users also noted.
- I used Proton-5.9-GE-3-ST

Extreme rubberbanding issues at 1440p even though FPS sit at 60-80. It becomes more manageable/enjoyable at lower rendering resolutions (<60%), although the issue doesn't completely go away.
Takes 10 minutes to get to the main menu
I get ~10-15FPS more than Windows but it feels choppier (weird frametimes)
I get kicked as soon as the countdown gets to 0. MP is supposed to work on noEAC servers but I can't find any populated ones in the game.
I couldn't get EAC to initialise (error #1) with the default glibc and glibc-eac or glibc-eac-bin from the AUR, however the most recent CI build from https://github.com/Frogging-Family/glibc-eac seems to work so far.

The game works straight away if I copy it to an ext4 partition, but:
to get it to work on NTFS, I had to mount the partition it using the following:
mount -t ntfs -o uid=(my user id),gid=(wheel/sudo group id),rw,exec /dev/sdXY /mnt/mountpoint
All the mods I had installed under Windows carried over without any additional configuration, save for their keybindings where applicable.
The game doesn't start without disabling Esync

No audio whatsoever. The game doesn't show up in pavucontrol at all.
Performance is exceptional; FPS didn't drop below 100 at any point with maxed out settings, and I experienced no hiccups or anything of the sort
