The game works perfectly out of the box, as long as you aren't interested in it for the BeamNG export feature.
Attempting to export a car to BeamNG drive crashes the game and fails. Only occurs after the latest major update.
BeamNG Exporting fails consistently. Ever since the latest update, I've been unable to successfuly export a car.
Added vcrun2022
Ironwood Studios just needs to put in a tiny bit of effort, and this would easily be a Platinum title.
Launching the game straight from download doesn't work for either GE or Experimental, but just using protontricks (or winetricks, really) to add vcrun2022 fixes the issue on both versions of proton.
On my hardware (Rx 6700 XT, outputting to a 2560x1080 200hz display), the game performes amazingly well. I can run the game at nearly full ultra, while maintaining a comfortable FPS. The only settings I didn't crank to the max were mirror related, and were still above the default (fairly high) settings.
The game also functions perfectly. No crashes, no weird lagginess, no slow loading screens, saves work fine, the game fullscreens without complaint...
There's nothing bad I can say about this game when running under linux, save for the initial tinkering needed.
It would be trivial for Ironwood Studios to make this game a Platinum title, and I hope that Ironwood does just that soon once the chaos of release blows over.
Ride on, fellow Breachers!
