The developer has already added an empty Linux repository, they mentioned in Steam forums that a Linux version is coming. Because of that repository, the windows version cannot be downloaded and since the Linux repository is simply empty, the game is currently not playable in Proton.
I had to "Force the use of a specific Steam play compatibility tool" (a new Steam beta feature) in the game properties since the game has a broken Linux repository. After doing that, the game is downloaded and installed and works perfectly.
There is supposed to be a native version, but currently it only works using Proton. Since the game was released only today, it could be a temporary issue.
About the font issue some people mentioned: Simply enter Options and set the resolution. More isn't necessary.
Note: I had to turn of fullscreen mode. It seems, the game does not honor vsync otherwise and runs with hundreds of frames per second which is kinda moronic (Note: This doesn't seem to be Wine/Linux/Proton specific, found the tip in old steam threads)
Replaced the dxvk libraries with the ones linked in the github issue https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/5150
No issues at all (Note: The game uses Proton 3.16 by default since this version was selected/tested by Valve. I didn't override it)
Works great. The developer also has a good track record fixing issues and a Linux build was also promised in the forum.
Either set PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% in the launch options of Steam or use Proton 3 or 4. Works fine then.
Crashes at startup: UnityPlayer.dll caused an Access Violation (0xc0000005) in module UnityPlayer.dll at 0033:80a5ff01.
I previously gave this game "Borked" with 3.7.3. It seems, the game works with 3.16 without issues even with my dated system (Mesa 12)
Switched to windowed since I had problems with tabbing out of full screen. When tabbing out, I got stuck on a black screen and could do nothing. Had to connect through ssh and kill the game. But it works perfectly in windowed mode.
I can confirm that the configurator tool doesn't work. Since it is only useful when the game doesn't work at all. I just is a graphical editor for the config.ini file. All settings can also be configured in-game.
The ini file can be found here (not sure if the path is always the same in proton) ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/203830/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Local Settings/Application Data/Daedalic Entertainment/Satinav
Had to set the following launch options. "PROTON_NO_D3D11=1 %command%"
The game becomes unresponsive in several levels if "socket.dll" in warstone_Data folder is not deleted/renamed. When the dll is renamed, the game complains, but works without issues.
