Works great, on par with Windows except for 1 bug
Mods disabled on every startup. Have to acknowledge and enable every time.
game-performance %command%
The Ubisoft launcher will ask for your password every time. The game doesn't seem to inhibit screensaver so during cutscenes my screen would dim or turn off. Added the launch option to force performance mode.
Controller issues on startup but playable after
Game doesn't properly detect controller on startup and can't switch from keyboard in input settings. I switched to Steam Input but it still doesn't detect properly until after I start a race, after which it works perfectly. Other games don't have this issue so not sure how to get the controller working before startng a race.
Splitscreen only available with a mod but it works very well if used as intended. Minor issues if playing with more than 2 players on games that don't support it and H2A anniversary graphics don't work but that's not the game's fault.
First time on latest stable Proton launched and played fine but the end of my second match resulted in a black screen. Switched to experimental and have not had problems since. Note: Every startup will warn you your Windows and driver versions are outdated but you can continue and play.
SteamDeck=1 %command%
Game plays fine. Voice chat doesn't work in the lobby (can't hear other players or speak to them) but works in a job. Adding the launch option SteamDeck=1 %command% works to enable voice chat in the lobby.
-vulkan
Running native without launch options had my cursor offset from where the game detected it (cursor had to be about 2 inches right of anything I selected in the menu)
On launch with 2 monitors the game was displayed on the secondary monitor and the game resolution combined the width of both (Both 1440, one ultrawide = 6000x1440)
Adding -vulkan to the launch option resolved the mouse cursor being offset. If you have multiple monitors, just Super+Shift+Left/Right to get it onto your primary monitor if it's not there and check your resolution. If you only have 1 screen and navigate the menu with keyboard or gamepad this will likely work well out of the box.
gamemoderun %command%
I set the launch option due to KDE Plasma dimming or eventually turning off my screen due to not detecting mouse/keyboard input (I play with controller) and this game doesn't seem to inhibit screensaver like others do. Not everyone will experience this. On launch all settings were automatically maxed out. Had a brief minor slowdown in Mission 3 while fighting over an airfield. I since turned down the resolution scale and cloud distance to see if it helps. Again, not everyone will experience an issue like this depending on your own settings.
game-performance %command%
I added the launch option due to the screen dimming or turning off while playing with a HOTAS. Playing with KBM or gamepad doesn't have this issue.
I don't use mod.io but manually installing mods works well too
Switch to Proton
The native version runs fine except the Leader Pass and Julius Caesar are not available on Linux. Proton enables them to appear in the mod menu and work in game.
