Very slow with incredible input delay. Buy on Steam and play a pirated version with wine-staging instead if you have a mediocre computer
The same game version (8.20.8116) but pirated runs at least 2 times faster on wine staging 6.16.
On new game after skipping the prologue, Proton 6.3 runs at 12-29 fps with a huge input delay while on Wine 6.16 on the pirated version I can get 60 fps without any perceptible input delay. When zooming in it becomes even worse. I tried turning off steam overlay, tried Proton 6.5-GE-2 (versions 5.8 above and Steam Proton Experimental don't even open the game window for me), and even reducing threads to 1. All of this in 720p with everything on minimum.
I've played more than 20 hours on pirate comfortably and my biggest factory doesn't slow the game as much as a new game on Proton.
If you plan on playing the pirated version like I do (I bought the game), you might run into this issue I have usually with Unity games: I have trouble refocusing the window after Alt+Tabing. Inputs wont register at all. A workaround I found is to use xdotool
to re-focus.
First I click on a window on top of the game, then I run the following command using a hotkey
bash -c 'xdotool windowfocus $(xdotool search --name Dyson)'
It will focus the game window but won't bring it forward. Then I just click the game and the inputs are back working normally.
Previously I used this instead, which is more general use.
bash -c 'xdotool windowfocus $(xdotool selectwindow)'
Add PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1
to launch options, or there may be serious performance issues
Some issues windowed only, perfect otherwise
Window becomes focused and moves itself to the middle of the screen every few seconds

Game won't launch
Nothing even pops up after launching it, then it closes automatically in a few seconds.
