The game doesn't launch
Native version worked out of the box.
Proton version with launch options -nolauncher -nosplash -world=empty -skipintro, with or without using Unix Launcher, gave "win32 error cannot create mt object" at the end of the loading screen before the game opens.
Works perfectly after some tweaks
Some little sound cracks during cinematics
As many have said, I had to install Nvidia 440 drivers and use lauch options : RADV_PERFTEST=llvm PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command% +in_terminal 1 +com_skipIntroVideo 1 +com_skipKeyPressOnLoadScreens 1 +com_skipSignInManager 1
Ran 60 fps but unfortunately for me, using a 3GB VRAM graphic card makes it look quite ugly (Windows or Linux, its the same).
Crashing
Using Hacking in the game makes it crash. Using invisibility crashes the whole system.
While native version was unplayable due to low FPS even with minimal settings, Proton version works way better even with High settings but crashes when I use invisibility and Hacking, what makes some levels impossible to complete.
Perfectly smooth
Crashes when opening Social Club in game.
Opening social club when in the escape menu of GTA Online makes it crash. Everything else works just fine.
Doesn't launches the game (Demo Alpha version)
Out of the box nothing happens. After doing "protontricks 1292870 -q dotnet472" (1292870 being the alpha demo that you found on steam these days), it launches a welcome screen then crashes with : "..\Win64\UE3ShaderCompileWorker.exe terminated unexpectedly! ThreadId=0
EntryPoint( ) Adress = 0x7b00fc3e (filename not found) [in C:\windows\system32\kernelbase.dll]"
You absolutely need twice the normal requirements to play this game.
Some players are just floating weapons.
Enormous loading, can't even play the 10 first minutes of the match, then too laggy during 5 other minutes, then completely unstable (freezes every 10 seconds).
Some loadings may crash mostly when returning to the menu. Sometimes also while loading the maps.
This obviously doesn't deserves a Platine ranking, as the game should work perfectly on windows with the same gear that I have (50 FPS medium settings). To compare, Doom 4 and The Witcher 3 runs ultra settings with 60 constant FPS on my machine. I think that you need a modern graphics card with at least 5GB VRAM and possibly a SSD.
prime-run gamemoderun DXVK_ASYNC=1 PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command%
At first, the game wasnt launching at all, and the logs were showing this error : "FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/611500", so I removed this same folder :
rm -r ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/611500
Then launching the game recreated a folder and it worked well.
Struggles to get permanent 60 FPS in low settings with my setup when theres a lot of player on the map (around 45-65 FPS but no big drops, medium settings performs quite the same).

I stuggled a lot to have 60 FPS, it now works perfectly.
Tried Proton Experimental and GE 7-21, but only GE 7-51 had some good results.
It also seems that launching with the command "PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1" makes me loose around 15 FPS.
Surprisingly perfect
The game has 0 problems running ultra settings with 60 FPS.
