Works even better on linux than on Windows, at least from my experience

7 months ago
Tinker Steps:Switch to older version: 7.0-6, Set launch options
PROTON_FORCE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE=0

Played it on windows before switching to arch (btw) and had more troubles with it (I won't go into detail because it's not necessary to do so) but on linux i just changed the proton version and the launch options and it just worked. I can even change the resolution and the scroll speed without issues (on windows that was a pain in the ass).

Use launch option and for Multiplayer you have to use Proton GE.

Tinker Steps:Custom Proton: Proton-7.2-GE-2, Set launch options
PROTON_FORCE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE=0 %command%

With Proton GE you still can´t create a multiplayer game but at least the game does not just kick you out the menu so I assume it might work to join one (untested).
