I tried the steps @CPTA320 mentioned multiple times. It just didn't work for me. :(
I just get the message "Application has crashed" but with a fresh install and Proton 5, I get the exact same message. It's very very sad, hopefully someone finds a fix someday :(
No or sporadic sound in Videos
Videos are not rendered in game, they open an extra window
borderless mode still has borders
Sometimes it has hiccups or lag spikes during loading Dungeons or unloading them.
It never crashed on me or hurt the gameplay yet, its just during loading.
If it stops loading, sometimes it helps to just move the mouse a bit.
closing the video window crashes the game!
It goes to some kind of a loop when you select a dungeon on the map. The video window opens, but because of that the game thinks you left it and closes the dungeon info and the video window. Then it starts from the beginning.
You can fix that by clicking or spamming on the game window to bring it to focus. The movie window will play the video in background and all is fine.
For comfort use a Controller with touchpad.
I FINALLY CAN PLAY THIS GAME ON LINUX
Note that game loading will take a while and the intro has no sound, or will show a black window. Klick on the game window and wait. It can take a few minutes to load. For me it's about two minutes to see the menu screen, when skipping the Video.
I think this game is on a good way to just work. It just needs some more attention from Valve.
mangohud DXVK_FRAME_RATE=60 %command%
The videos play without sound
The videos are still in extra windows.
You may experience sproadic crashes under specific circumstances:
- If you have the God Eater DLC, DON'T try to select her healing skill, it will crash your game!
- Closing the video window will crash the game
One significant thing to mention is: You will NOT be able to start a new game with linux! You have to use Windows for that and for other parts of the game!! One positive thing to mention here is that your savegames are synchronized to the Steam clound.
Sometimes the video window will still be open in the background after selecting to enter a dungeon, or other actions where the video window should close. Then you have to ALT-Tab or otherwise select the video window and it will close.
The following will include spoilers: Everytime a new Dimension starts, it will show the Menu screen for this specific Dimension. This is a Problem for playing on linux, as the video in the background is rendered in the extra video window and the controls for starting the game are not visible, so these Parts have to be played on Windows.
This is an update for my last post, so please read it, as the most parts of it still apply (except the performance info and the loading times, as i have a new pc)
I was able to play the very most part of the Game on Linux. Only for a very very short amount of Time you are "required" to use Windows. But because of that it can be very frustarting for the flow of the Story. But all things considered, I think it was worth it!
vcrun2022
I had to uninstall vcrun2019 and install vcrun2022 to get the game to run.
The game runs fine. Leaderboard is working. Achivements are working.
It's designed to be played with a mouse, so the right Trackpad does the job.
I mean it's not a game, it's a Video. Just click play and it opens in your Browser. The player is shit, but hey that's what you get for buying videos on Steam...

Installed .Net 4.7.1
Random crashes. But sometimes it runs for hours

Installed Dotnet 48 via protontricks
Install Space Engineers Plugin Performance Improvements (https://github.com/viktor-ferenczi/performance-improvements)
Install the Audio Fix described in the Space Engineers (Keen Software House) Discord: 1 Fetch the XAudio2.9 redistributable nuget archive from https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.XAudio2.Redist ("Download package" on the right) and extract the file xaudio2_9redist.dll from the folder build/native/release/bin/x64/ in that nuget archive 2 Install the XAudio2.9 redistributable. 5.1 Rename the extracted xaudio2_9redist.dll from step 0.6 to xaudio2_9.dll 5.2 Place the extracted and renamed xaudio2_9.dll into ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/244850/pfx/drive_c/windows/system32/. That file might already exist, overwrite (or move) it.
If someone uses the voice chat, the Audio of the whole PC gets muted, and you can't hear the voice (obviously)
You have to do quite a lot of things, to get it running stabily with Mods. It is not very hard though
Sorry if the description of instaling the Audio fix is borked, see the Discord for better formatting. I don' wan't to do this whole review again, because ProtonDB doesn't let me go back to that step, where I can edit the text...
Have a great Day :)
It just works
Don't uncheck the fullscreen option in the launcher, in game you can use the borderless window mode(window mode not tested) and it works just fine. (I unchecked the option at first, and my keyboard didn't work)
