Force proton experimental or newest stable version.
Native client crashes very frequently when selecting character portriats, something you do constantly in the game. Use proton experimental or latest stable and it works like a charm, zero issues.
Works great if steam is installed with the open source vulkan libraries
I fixed my previous report by reinstalling steam using the open source vulkan libraries. Originally, I used the default libraries which are the proprietary amdvlk ones. After installing with the vulkan radeon open source libraries, all of my games are running smoother and this one does not crash anymore. No tinkering involved at all, it runs rock solid and smooth as butter.
I hope this report helps someone because I was struggling to find the cause of the previous error I reported. I also tried this game launching from steam installed via flatpak and it also works great in that configuration as well without tinkering.
Force proton, the native version is broken.
Native version has missing UI elements, missing resolution options, and has missing audio. I was not able to start a new game due to missing UI elements. Force proton and the game works flawlessly.
Refuses to keep window focus
I have tried installing through steam, and through the regular client. Results are identical. After the game starts and monitor detection begins where it adjusts the resolution automatically, the game refuses to keep focus. Every click with the mouse happens to whatever is behind the window, the desktop, the launcher, a browser, doesn't matter. I have tried numorous things to fix this. Also, there is an audio issue where it crackles a bit.
