The game is fully playable with gamepad controls. Select the default gamepad config and you'll be fine.
Or you can use "Config the Weird" by Boostking instead, which is very good.
Xbox One controller works great, Dualshock 4 needs Steam Input enabled.
Performance is worlds better than it was in older versions, no tweaks necessary.
(Fullscreened, on Xorg) Occassional issue when using spells with issues clicking the top row of the puzzle board, sometimes certain tiles (in the middle) won't work, but ones to the left and right will, sometimes this can be triggered by cancelling the spell and trying again, but with spells that only target one square it's often impossible to cast that spell.
The icon for the tile is sometimes wonky, so I assume this bug exists natively.
Save & Quit feature is broken; it just doesn't seem safe to use - again likely a bug with the base game
PROTON_NO_D3D12=1 %command%
(really wish I could delete past reports)
PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%
PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%
can be a little slow loading menus
Deselect "Windowed" in the game launcher, and you'll get the option to play in 720p. 1280x800 is not supported.
Works as it does on Windows. Touchscreen-friendly.
Proton GE 6.20-GE-1 GloriousEggroll
the models are kind of spiky on the borders
the game runs at unstable 50 frames
It crashes on loading screens and freezes all of the machine (can't enter tty and can't suspend/power off the pc)
6.8-GE-1 (Glorious Eggroll) GloriousEggroll
Lost Expansion Borked - with v1.0.9 latest update I can't get it to move past the loading screen.
The opening 3D cinematic has all sorts of badly rendered graphics with garbled video artifacts on every surface.
TINKER: Tried every combination I could think, I downloaded the old Proton-GE that worked for me previously, I tried experimental and a bunch of newer, then I tried them all on Xorg (was on Wayland). No luck, same issue every time.
I also tried wine on Lutris which previously worked for me and still can't get past that loading screen. I tried the Beta (says 1.0.8) Also tried clearing my save folder.

My AMD experience far trumps my Nvidia (and Intel) experience. 1080p on Beautiful was 60fps all the way.

Strangely specific issue, unless I haven't noticed more - but the only sound missing is the spinning of Stat Wheel in The Shop. Bug may be part of original
Mouse seems a bit slow
Have to disable esync to get the game to run.
As much as I love it, when I use my best hardware just for this game and it still fails me, I simply cannot recommend it to a typical gamer.
Input extremely laggy bound to framerate issues, however optimizations could separate these issues a bit.
Framerate less than 15 on Fantastic and low, 720p resolution on capable hardware
Loading times off of SSD and capable CPU extremely slow for a fairly simple 3D game.
An Edmund McMillen/ Isaac/ Rogue-Lite diehard will play it regardless and enjoy the gameplay, but running the game is simple not a good experience.
The game is very slow without add PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%
The character selection screen is completely black
Unable to start a game. After pressing "New game" and choosing a character, the game enters an infinite loading screen
By infinite I mean I waited for over 10 minutes and there was hardly any CPU usage
If you love the game, you will enjoy it even though the performance isn't ideal. Definitely CPU heavy, but my hardware is very old.
Mouse feels delayed.. Possibly framerate related, but given the style of game I wouldn't notice framerate drops.
Loading times insane (off SSD, seems to be bottlenecking CPU). Had a couple freezes which locked up my whole system. Once it recovered, once I had to power off after an hour
Crashes on loading screen, refuses to load at all on intel integrated graphics
Could not get it to work using Steam's tools at all. Continually didn't load at all, but steam kept saying I was playing a phantom process.
I eventually got it working using Wine 4.17 via Lutris and it runs fairly well. Performance is fine graphically, loading times are very high and sometimes locks up my system, but would eventually catch up. Get a black screen with nothing but the version watermark on the character select screen, but changing characters is doable by guessing. I suspect it is using way too much CPU usage for a simple game, my system only having four threads.
Framerate was a little slow, but not terrible.
Around 35 fps ingame at 1080p with "beautiful" (the lower option) settings
You'll have to launch the game from the command line (which is not trivial) if you want to pass any environment variables or flags to it.
There is a problem with the game's launcher where it doesn't propagate the flags defined in launch commands. So my DRI_PRIME=1 flag doesn't take effect for the actual game, forcing it to run using the integrated graphics, causing slowness
The game crashes early into the game. One would not expect to be able to complete even a single run.
The game appears to crash at certain "points", I've crashed during the loading screen, after clicking "End Turn", and after matching a set and preparing to attack. The game uses up one or two CPU cores to the max and the entire system freezes up. Audio is still played in the background and I can SSH in and close the app to fix it.
