With Proton 6.3 the game tends to crash, with Proton 5.13 the game becomes really slow. Using Proton 5.0 seems to be stable without any crashes so far, but I would save often to prevent progress loss. The "News" window is glitchy, but the rest of the game seems to be fine
The game works just like in Windows. You can use some parameters to change the game's resolution and to skip the EA intro
-CustomResolution:enabled -r1366x768x32 -intro:off
Using OpenGL audio cracks on heavy load, using DirectX only creates cracks on game load
The DirectX graphics mode seems to dislike windowed mode, but fullscreen works fine
Not related to Proton, the game is just old, so save often using Ctrl-S
If after installing you see some black screen flashing, you need to install the "Steamworks Common Redistributable" tool in Steam, then you need to delete the game's prefix. Some games have this tool as a dependency, so that's why some systems work first time without tinkering
