Audio randomly working on game startup or not - need to relaunch the game until it works to play with audio. May be fixable with extra tinkering
Game speed (which also controls mouse scrolling fluidity/speed) is broken, but this also occured on non-ancient windows OS for me (windows 98 being the last one where the game worked 100% as intended). Setting "game speed" in game options to slow and mving speed slider to around 85-90% makes it work perfectly for me (optimal values might depend on hardware speed). Unfortunately the speed settings (slow/fast) in main menu options are apparently not used by the game when starting gameplay, so need to swap it for each gameplay. You can keep the speed "fast" and adjust slider more aggressively down, but animations will be ugly and map scrolling will be wonky.
Other proton versions may result in following: game not launching at all, problems with resolution after minimizing, options menu extremely laggy (0.1 fps), higher probability of failed sound initialization on game launch
Notable performance drop when some buildings (and maybe units) are selected, especially academy, returns to normal with no selection. Game speed and map scrolling slows down together with performance drop. Seems to eat some of mouse input as well. Other proton versions trade this glitch for another ones as far as I saw.
New proton versions result in display resolution glitches, making game unenjoyable. There is possibility to tinker further with wine versions that do actual screen resolution swap etc. For now I am satisfied enough.
