Just use the older Proton, or perform the simple .ini tweak I shared and you're good to go.
For current Proton (5.13-1) or Proton-GE (5.9-GE-8-ST) there is a freeze during intro videos, which you can easily fix by disabling them in the correct .ini file as below. Alternatively, you can use an older Proton (5.0-10).

You can simply launch the game from Steam, selecting the 'No BattlEye' option. However, this will bar you from accessing the vast bulk of servers.
After the initial hassle of setup, the game appears to run as smoothly on my installation of Linux as it does on Windows 10 Pro.
Initially unable to proceed passed the loading screen, as it would consistently freeze halfway.
I had to take the following steps to get the game to run: 1.) Add the following to Steam/Hades launch options: __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia PROTON_FORCE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE=1 2.) As I was launching the game from an NTFS partition on a separate drive, I had to specifically mount the partition using ntfs-3g -o uid:[myuid],gid:[mygid] /dev/[my_drive] /[my_mountpoint] before I could launch Hades. This is not a Hades specific issue, but may be useful to others.
The mouse cursor flickers.
With my distribution and having an Intel/Nvidia GPU setup, I had to add the prime-run option to Steam launch options, or I couldn't load the game. Remember to do this if you have a similar setup on Manjaro, to tell the game to launch with your Nvidia gpu and not intel.
Game gets 3FPS without flags, 20-45FPS with, but extreme chop that makes it unplayable and vomit inducing.
PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% -force-d3d11
3 FPS without using noted flags. 20-45 FPS average with flags, with extreme chopping, it's unplayable and gave me a headache very quickly.
I also tried with Proton Experimental, Bleeding Edge, and 7.0.x. Reducing various graphics settings had minimal impact.
Does not launch
Attempted with Proton-GE, Proton Experimental, Bleeding Edge and 7.0.x. Game fails to launch.
As long as they know to use the relevant bash -c command, and install EAC runtime, everything runs smooth.
bash -c 'exec "${@/NewWorldLauncher.exe/bin64\/NewWorld.exe}"' -- %command%
Slight frame hitch when entering combat.
It's an MMORPG which only runs online. Everything works. Connection is solid.
The game won't run without tinkering currently. You must ensure EAC Runtime is installed on Steam, and use the relevant bash -c command shared on this page.
No, simply because of the jarring font issues. If these are resolved, the game is easily Gold.
Text displays incorrectly, using the wrong font type/size throughout menus, but not consistently, so the effect can be jarring and arguably unplayable for some.
Please note, I run an Nvidia 1660TI for games, not integrated graphics per the Steam hardware results.
Ocassional crash when story dialogues take place.
VSYNC is reversed. On (default) turns it off, on turns it on.
Game works well out of the box on 7.0.x, Experimental, GE-Proton. Ocassional sudden crashes however. Also, VSync is reversed (ON=off, OFF=on, and despite 200FPS with it inactive, when active it's sub-refresh rates)
