Inf scroll bug from AoE2HD when alt+tab
Approx under an hour per crash.
Previous day did not boot at all with proton. Booted and played with Windows for a few hours. Updated this morning and now it boots. SteamCloud not enabled so savedata wasn't the cause. Does have crashes each hour.
Proton 5.13+ required. Earlier versions either failed to fully launch, crashing at the splash screen, or did not connect to steam properly and required itself to shutdown.
Using 5.13+, starts tutorial but unable to finish as after a couple menus pop up, the game crashes.
May be a red herring, but the popup menus seem to be an issue.
Game seems to work now without flaws. Using proton 5.13-4. Issues with pop-up boxes or tutorials doesn't seem to be an issue anymore
Game initially would not load properly, freezing at multiple stages. Use proton 5.13 and works as if native. Anything later did not work.
Use Proton 5.13.
Several random crashes at different times. Tutorial and cutscene crashes reduced with https://github.com/z0z0z/mf-install. Sometimes just repeatedly opening the game worked. Once in the game, generally no crashes and runs pretty well.
Single player works, but linux players will not be able to play with windows clients out of the box.
Multiplayer not functional with windows clients

Unnecessary to use protontricks, even potentially produces more errors. Still has weird menu/text overlapping, while playable certainly degrades the experience. Actual game runs fine enough. Saving & steam cloud seems to function correctly. Notably, I did try to run with custom protons and they did not function due to mono issues. Use newest stable proton via steam. May take a few launches to fully get into game.
Using steam & proton 4.11-6, latest and a clean prefix (protontricks --gui -> wipe old prefix) do the following: "protontricks 644930 -q corefonts vcrun2017 d3dx11_42 d3dx11_43 dotnet472 gdiplus win7" For me, this fixed campaign crashing and the text overlays. Runs gold now.
Crashes when using savegames. Workaround is to ONLY use autosaves (quit to menu, continue game, etc). So long as no savegames are made or present, no issues.
