Runs great. Uses desktop resolution, does not let to change it. As I have 3840x2160 resolution on 28" display, UI is hard to see and text is hard to read.
The only thing I had to do was to rename /steamapps/common/AoE2DE/resources/_common/movies directory to something else. It does not play the intro movie after this, but runs very well.
The problem was that it did not accept CD Key. My solution was this: 'protontricks 105450 d3dx9 mfc42 winxp l3codecx corefonts' after running this game runs great. One more thing: after quitting the game, the game seems to be running in background as I can hear sound. Checked running processes and had to kill age3.exe to quit game completely.

After 10min of minor stutter - game runs very smooth, stable 60FPS on Very High settings. Works as good as on Windows 10
5.0-GE-1 GloriousEggroll
Disabled Uplay in-game overlay
It seems that initial stutter is audio related. When some sound is played for the first time, game stutters.
Minor stutter in first 10min of the game. Seems to be sound related
I think these stutters might be my hardware problem, as I experience it in various games.
The game launched on 2nd try. On 1st try Uplay was updating and after that nothing happen.
The game generally is playable, with some minor disadvantages already mentioned in other comments. Such as missing sounds in cinematics, unable to change graphics settings, minor stutter sometimes. I can change display settings such as resolution or VSync, but I can't change most of Graphics settings (the ones that require restart). By default all graphics settings are set to High, but if I change to Very High or Ultra High then game asks to restart, and after starting a restart dies and no longer launches. After this I need to delete config from prefix... I would consider bronze, but I am amazed by Photon reaching this level in such a short amount of time, it deserves Silver!
Note: I used Proton 4.11-2 which was released today, but not yet available to choose in ProtonDB. I am very happy that now this game works so well! Before I could not launch it. Now works smooth and without any issues! Played ~7h
Uplay needs to start in Offline more. Had one random crash. Game on lower resolutions than screens native, does not scale and cover not whole screen in Fullscreen mode.
First I have tried to disable D3D11, with PROTON_NO_D3D11=1 %command% set in Launch Options, but I got pretty low performance. Game ran in outside areas around 20-30FPS, but as I looked into ground FPS jumped up to 200FPS. Then I tried to use Wine D3D11, with the help of protontricks. I ran this: protontricks 15100 d3dcompiler_43 - and then launched the game without PROTON_NO_D3D11=1 %command% and performance improved very well. Now I get around 80-110FPS in open areas. Plays smooth with minor shuttering which seems to be related to audio.
Needs "PROTON_NO_D3D11=1 %command%" to be set in Launch Options. Performance is not good, but playable
Could not launch the game
Tried various Custom Proton versions, and stopped with Proton-5.9-GE-3-ST. Installing dotnet472 with protontricks did not help. I was unable to launch the game
Fails after "Settings" screen
Fails with a message about Pixel Shaders unable to compile. Tried few other, older Proton versions, seems to have same problem. Did not try to edit WINE prefix with protontricks as other people did. I assume if someone would put effort, could get it running. But for a simple user, it's not playable in "click and play" fashion
Runs very well, with all settings on, even NVIDIA PhysX.
It seems framerate get locked at 30FPS, even with VSync off. Solved this by editing BmEngine.ini like this:
Edit file:
[...]/200260/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/WB Games/Batman Arkham City GOTY/BmGame/Config/BmEngine.ini
Use these settings:
bSmoothFrameRate=FALSE
MinSmoothedFrameRate=60
MaxSmoothedFrameRate=300
Needs to disable movies (check other comments) and after that game is playable with Proton. Somehow sound does not work in-game, but works in-menu.
Runs great. Just since it is old game, it does not support wide-screen resolutions via settings menu. My solution was same like on Windows: Open console with CTRL+ALT+~ (tilda) and enter (comma separated commands, do not enter the comma): r_customWidth 3840, r_customHeight 2160, r_aspectRatio 1, r_mode -1, vid_restart. This will set 4K UHD resolution of 3840x2160, you can change values to any, like 2560x1440 or 1920x1080
Runs perfectly with minor glitch. From time to time I lose keyboard input and can't control the game (only mouse works), but ALT+TAB fixes it. With controller no issues at all. Runs very smooth, high frame-rates without any shuttering.
Runs great. MLAA anti-aliasing kills performance. Change anti-aliasing to FXAA or Off improves performance greatly.
It seems this game is ported using DX11 to OpenGL translation layer. I think OpenGL is slower than Vulkan, that is why I get awful performance with Linux native version.
Compared, it is stuttering 35-50FPS with native, while with Proton Experimental I get solid 60FPS without any drops. I tried only DX11 version of Windows game, not sure about DX12. Also it seems graphically game looks better with Proton/DX11 than Linux native with OpenGL.
Note that initially Windows version with Proton will stutter too, as it needs to compile shaders, but later on way better experience than Linux native version.
Runs good. Just noticed lower performance compared to Windows 10. Sometimes frame-rate drops to 5-10FPS for short time.
WINE_CPU_TOPOLOGY=14:0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13 %command%
Low GPU usage, low FPS
Runs without any tweaks. Performance is pretty bad, FPS is not stable. Did not play that long (20min or so) but I did not notice any glitches or crashes.
Game starts loading, then screen flickers and asks to send a report of a crash
You have to kill the game process to exit
Worked only with Proton 5.0-10 version. Other Proton versions crash right after intro.
Game has constant stutter, doesn't fully utilize GPU.
No tweaks were needed. Just after the start of game I need to press ENTER few times to get it running. If you ALT+TAB the game, it crashes with Unhandled Exception.
This is one of my most played games on Steam. Almost all the time I was playing this game in dual-boot with Windows 10 and after trying it via Proton I can say on Linux this games performance is way better! FPS is way more stable! All in all it is much better experience than running this game on Windows 10. Now some technical things that I did. First of all D9VK is mandatory for this game in my opinion. With DXVK the game was running at 30-40FPS with some visual glitches, while switching to D9VK (0.13f) gives me stable 60FPS (did not check how high it goes without VSync). Even on Windows 10 I could not get stable 60FPS! D9VK and Proton is great combo for this game. Another few tweaks that was done: xliveless xlive.dll, stream.ini changes and launch options to remove limits. You can find a guide how to do these things in other reports. I did nvapi.dll changes too, but I read it was optional while running with D9VK. More than 100 hrs on Windows 10/8 was not that smooth as on Arch Linux with Proton + D9VK! Loving it.
Game works very well with some minor issues such as mouse lock-up (while driving a car) and VSync does not limit FPS, but everything else is great.
At first I had infinite loading screen to story mode and ERR_AUD_INIT_1
My solution was here https://github.com/lutris/lutris/wiki/How-to:-Esync
I use Gentoo Linux and it seems they have limit of 4096 for DefaultLimitNOFILE which after changing to 1048576 has solved everything. You can check on your system value of this limit by running ulimit -Hn visit the link to Lutris Wiki for more info how to solve this ;)
Tried last 5 Proton versions, could not get it to work
With Proton Experimental and Proton 8/7, it has some sort of VRAM leakage, and fills up 24GB of my GPU VRAM
protontricks 6900 directmusic
If directmusic is not installed, game hangs with blackscreen on start
Runs very good. Did not notice any performance decrease compared to Windows version. Zero issues, butter smooth gameplay!
Good experience, run smooth
Sounds in cut-scenes is a bit out of sync, but not much
I found that turning on FPS limiter (cap) makes game to run very slow on my hardware. While game runs on 70-80FPS, limiting FPS to 60, makes game run at 40-45FPS
The only thing is that framerate capped at 30FPS, which can be rised to 60FPS, but beyond that it breaks game
Works out of the box with default Proton
Run very good, without any issues. Just no way to limit FPS, VSync option is missing.
Native version works well, but using Proton gives DLSS option in settings which helps with performance
Runs very good. Sometimes starts micro stutter, but lasts for short time. HOWTO: rename launcher.exe to something else, and rename mafia3.exe to launcher.exe IF the game starts in black screen, then you need to edit videoconfig.cfg which is at .steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/360430/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Local Settings/Application Data/2K Games/Mafia III/Saves/ FROM 282 174 2560 1440 1 0 0 0 TO 0 0 2560 1440 0 0 0 0 it's basically needs to make game in windowed mode, so resolution numbers stay, just other numbers gets to 0. When game starts in Windowed mode, you can change settings. I recommend turn of VSync and make FPS Unlimited, otherwise performance is not that good. Played around 1hr, runs smooth. Graphics seems to be a bit different from Windows version as some of effects might be missing, but I'm unsure. Plays well
Runs smooth, no issues
First 5min it had minor stuttering, but later on it was smooth 60fps experience
Runs very well. Minor stuttering, but I think it's because of my hardware. There is no VSync option, so it always cooks GPU
Just one thing: had to delete old configs from running game in Windows 10 (those got synced I think). Configs was located at /steamapps/compatdata/675010/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Application Data/SpinTires MudRunner/
Before I deleted configs, I had black screen and menu without fonts. After config deletion, game runs smooth and without any bugs.
Runs great! Did not try on Windows after last update, but on Linux with Proton works very smooth with high frame-rate! With previous NMS updates I played on Windows and performance was much worse. I use maxed settings with 3840x2160 resolution and get 80-110FPS! Impressive! Honestly did not expected such a great performance. I think Hello Games improved well they game :) I will try to compare to Windows 10 performance soon
Steam reports that game is running, but nothing appears
Unable to launch game
Had to disable 3D acceleration in Options to get stable 60FPS. Other than that game runs very well
WINE_CPU_TOPOLOGY=4:0,1,2,3 %command%
I had FPS drops from 144 to 60-70 in some areas. Adding "Launch options" and limiting CPU cores to 4 helped with performance. Now I get stable 144FPS and GPU is properly utilized
Good experience
OOTB runs at 40FPS, limiting to 4 CPU cores/threads improves performance a lot, up to 250FPS on my system
WINE_CPU_TOPOLOGY=4:0,1,2,3 %command%
Without launch options, game performance is very low (40FPS without, and 250FPS with)
Use WINE_CPU_TOPOLOGY environment variable in launch options like I did, or like others suggested use taskset to limit game to 4 cores/threads
With this kind of frame-drops and stutter it's hard to enjoy the game
Constant frame-drops makes game hard to enjoy. Frame-drops does not depend on graphics settings
Native crashes, but with Proton 9.0-2 everything works very well
Force latest Proton version, as native seems to be broken
Native version crashes, using latest Proton 9.0-2 works very well
Force latest Proton, as native version seems to be broken
Visual glitches when switching from Fullscreen (when game loses focus)
If game loses focus, visual glitches appear
These Launch Options can be used to get FHD resolution (in game available up to 1600x1200) %command% -CustomResolution:enabled -r1920x1080x32
Intro video does not play and it shows black screen. Pressing SPACE lets skip it. At first I had bottom part of screen visible only. Had to edit file steamapps/compatdata/34830/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/Sniper - Ghost Warrior/out/Settings/Video.scr and set my resolution to my screens native resolution (in my case 3840x2160) and then game runs perfectly. Very smooth, without any glitches. The only thing I could not do, was to limit FPS, or turn on VSync... So I was playing in 150FPS on 60Hz monitor, so it's kind of waste of processing power. But game in general plays very well.
The game runs really well, just the Launcher has some glitches. But the game itself has a native experience
Native version crashing, but using Proton works well
Used Proton 9.0-1 to play this. When launching native Linux version, game crashes
Game has native version, runs better with latest Proton
Native version seems to be performing not as good. Running game with Proton helps a lot, also graphics looks a bit different compared to native
Game works very well, except some mouse issues. Sometimes using mouse can give a minor stutter
Runs very good. Did not let me to change resolution to lower one (stuck at 3840x2160) and UI elements was tiny. But I guess this is not related to Proton or Linux. Completed one 2 samples, runs well.
White window blinks for a moment, and then nothing happens
Tried various Proton versions, including various custom Proton versions, such as 5.8-GE-2 5.9-GE-3-ST 5.11-GE-1-MF, everytime same result
Click and play, works very well
It seems framerate is locked to 62FPS, but probably not because of Linux
Plays well, just don't minimize the game, as it breaks then
Minimizing game from fullscreen breaks something, and screen starts flickering
Played only DirectX 11 version, did not try DirectX 9 which is available when launching game
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xinput1_3=n" %command%
GPU usage around 30%, Framerate around 50FPS
5.0-GE-1 GloriousEggroll
I use Proton-5.0-GE-1 by GloriousEggroll. You can find it here: https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/releases
I got severe stutter while in-game. Might be related to my selected options. Did not try to play with those.
Multiplayer gets disabled. It says that EAC is not installed.
