Honestly, for this game its just easier to watch a walkthough.The occasional crashes and audio desyncs makes the whole experience really bad
gamemoderun %command%
On each new scene/video, audio starts fine, but then quickly desyncs, sometimes the bg music stops playing, sometimes the main character goes mute, other times everyone else goes mute
Occasionally the whole game just freezes, and I have to force kill it
I tested with other proton versions, GE.Proton9.20-1 seems to be the only one that runs it with audio and no video problems. I tested others, and some didn't even launch, some didn't show any video scenes even though I could interact with the game normally (also no audio), and others the BG worked fine, but got no voice audio from anyone. With GE.Proton9.20-1, the only problem are the occasional crashes and audio desyncs, but if you're patient and brave enough, you can get to the end.
This game happened to work flawlessly out of the box, but started having problems while compiling the shaders ingame after the new steam update that enables hardware acceleration. It usually stops after 32% into the shader compilation, and errored out saying that the GPU got out of memory (its a 3080, so it should have plenty for this).
My workaround was to go to Steam > Settings > Interface > Uncheck "Enable Hardware video decoding, if supported", and restart steam. After that, its back to working flawlessly
Reminding that this was done all with the DEMO version of the game
Game installs, but doesn't launch
I installed it and first tried launching it, but at first nothing happened (I waited for around 5 minutes). Then I restarted steam and tried launching again, and this time the vulkan shader compilation popup appeared, ran for a while, finished, but the game still didn't start. I then switched to proton experimental (it was running with the default), proton 8.0-3, Proton GE8-14, none of which worked. I also tried with the flag MANGOHUD=1 gamemoderun %command% as recommended by some here, but it was the same, I click for it to launch, steam thinks its running (the blue stop button appears) but nothing happens.
It launches, but theres only a black screen that closes automatically after ~30 seconds
Used to work when it first released, but when I picked it up to play again after the recent updates, it no longer works. It installs and launches, but I only get a black screen with no sound (or anything at all), and it closes automatically after around 30 seconds.
Tried with Proton GE9-10, Proton GE8-25, Proton Experimental and Proton cachyos, and also tried running it under gamescope, none of which had any different outcome (aside from gamescope, which I get the same black screen, but it doesn't automatically close)
I'm running it under Wayland (hyprland), but the same also happens on X11 (i3) for me
