Proton-5.21-GE-1 GloriousEggroll
After installing the GloriousEggroll Proton version to Steam and selecting it as the compatibility tool for the game, everything worked perfectly. I played through the whole game without any problems.
With the stock Proton 5.13-5 from Steam the game seems to work except for the cutscenes. As the game is very story driven, this would make you miss a lot of the game. Because of this using GloriousEggroll Proton is pretty much mandatory.
The game works perfectly out of the box.
The game seems to be quite performance heavy, but from what I understand it is so on Windows as well. It seemed to run as I would expect on my hardware.
Runs perfectly with no configuration needed.
I fully completed the game on Linux, it's just extremely short.
Played a map for a few hours. Everything works perfectly out of the box and the performance is excellent. Only problem is that the game bugs out if you alt-tab out of it and needs to be restarted. This doesn't really impede with regular gameplay though.
Everything expect two extremely minor annoyances works, 100% playable out of the box.
With default Steam Proton the intro videos in the main menu or at the start of a new game don't work. They contribute extremely little to the game so just watch the into on YouTube or something and you're good to go.
The game also doesn't close from inside the game, but you can just alt-tab and press Close from Steam. This and the intro videos are the only bugs I encountered with stock Steam Proton. Using GloriousEggroll Proton (I tried 6.1-GE-2 myself) even the intro videos and closing the game works. But the game is 100% playable without it.
The game won't launch on Linux kernel versions <5.4. On system running those you need to add clearcpuid=514 as a kernel boot parameter. To set it permanently on Linux Mint:
- Open the GRUB boot options in nano with admin privileges by running:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
- Add
clearcpuid=514to theGRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULTline. The line should look something like this:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash clearcpuid=514"
- Save the changes to the file and update GRUB configurations by running:
sudo update-grub
- Reboot your system and you should be ready to play the game
Everything works out of the box. You have to force Steam Input off to have the native controller support working and alt-tabbing out of the game breaks it, but these are common issues for a lot of games.
Works perfectly out of the box.
The game crashes rarely when loading a save, but in no other situations. Maybe every ~20-40 loads. This is a relatively minor inconvenience as you can just restart the game and load the game again losing no progress. I haven't played the game on Windows, so I'm not sure if the crashes happen there too or only on Linux.
The game works perfectly with good performance except for one problem. Any video based cutscenes, which the game has between chapters and sometimes in other parts, do not work. The game doesn't crash so they can just be waited out, but you are forced to see the cutscenes from Youtube to understand the story. As said, the gameplay is perfect out of the box, so the game is 100% playable. Just missing a lot of the story. Playback issue probably related to Proton bug #1464.
