Works Marvelously on Linux
I didn't experience any problems with this title on singleplayer.
Online - The only hiccup I experienced was how to join a friend's session when they were playing the game via the Windows Game Store on a Windows machine. We had to add each other via the xbox website (There is also a GNOME extension which might work to add the microsoft gamebar, but I didn't try this) and join that way.
Works flawlessly out of the box
No faffing around, no launch options. This game works perfectly with no tweaks. There was slight hitching for the first 3 minutes but after that it worked very well.
Running the game on any partition but the OS' ended with an immediate message "Failed to get the process' path" from Easy Anti-cheat. Try iinstalling it on your main partition if you're getting the same error.

Stuttering audio, fixed with PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60
Mouse kept escaping from game window. Fixed with --force-grab-cursor
env -u SDL_VIDEODRIVER %command%
Works without any issues after tinkering. Make sure to set launch option if on Wayland, without it, I was getting an error telling me "dependencies failed to initialize".
I normally force Proton Experimental on all games by default, and that was working with this game until the latest update (today, 2025/04/24). I changed to Proton 9.0-4 to test, and was able to play again.
I play on a 32:9 ultrawide, had no issues with fullscreen, but for any streaming I need it in 16:9 and setting it to windowed mode only gave me 32:9 aspect ratio resolutions to choose from.
Fortunately you can drag the window borders into whatever ratio you want, and manually made it 16:9.
I have Proton Experimental set as the default for all games, and this game was working perfectly on that just a few days ago. But the new update seems to have broken something, I suspect with Easy Anticheat, because it kept booting me off of Xbox Live.
But switching back to the normally recommended Proton 9.0-4 I was able to get signed in and seems to be working fine.
My loading times have been cut to around 1/4 of what they were when I'd play on Windows. Zero bugs or issues running on Linux, and I load way faster.

The intro videos are weirdly jerky but they're just ads for the current season. Crashed after logging into XBox Live but restarting once was fine. No other issues.
d3d11 required
Great console-like experience with GMKtec M7 Pro (DX12 + 80% scaling from 1080p, mid-high settings, no ultra)
Just one crash at the very beginning but probably because of the Vulkan shaders pre-cache build. Then, I had an almost two hours online on High Seas at steady framerates and ping. But the ping, it doesn't depend from this machine. It's on their servers.
It's okay when the servers are fine, you know.

Froze at first launch, had to add -d3d11 to launch options. Ran well after this !
No problems with Xbox Live login. Only issue was intro cinematic endlessly loading, but it is skippable. Otherwise game runs smoothly.
gamemoderun %command%
Works on Wayland, even on very high settings. The very first startup and login take quite a long time but afterwards it works fine.
unset SDL_VIDEODRIVER; gamemoderun %command%
Couldn't get it to start before setting launch options, though.
First i had a Message for EAC Cheat Violation ("Rumblebeard") which was caused by a workaround for Starcitizen i had to edit the /etc/hosts file and comment with # the line 127.0.0.1 modules-cdn.eac-prod.on.epicgames.com #Star Citizen EAC workaround after that it woked
env -u SDL_VIDEODRIVER %command% -d3d11
x11 i3 desktop. No issues with moving in and out of game or mouse capture. Both GE and Launch Options were required. Login worked fine without reverting to an older version but it was a little slow to load the ingame frame for MS login white screen apears but waiting or selecting content on screen made it work fine.

Microsoft account sign-in requires temporary shift to Proton 6.3-8.
OS is Lubuntu 25.04; GPU is an Nvidia 860m; Nvidia driver version is 570.86.16; Steam Compatibility is Proton Hotfix.
Had the same loggin problem as everyone with the white screen. Fixed it by: Right click on white loggins screen > print (i dont know why but that worked)
"Kicked for anti-cheat violation. (Rumblebeard)" Every time I try to play
Tried everything I could find or think of for the past 3 days, also got cracking audio when starting the game.
XBOX Login is broken for me. Used an older Proton to login and then switched back to GE.
Basically Perfect!
Has constant file corruption errors that force a file validation every time. Otherwise works fine.
Usually comes up with an error saying there is a file corruption after 10-30 min of playing. Clicking OK closes the game and forces a file validation. Ignoring the error message and not clicking OK can keep the game running for a bit longer.
I switched to Proton 6.3-8 so that I could utilize the Xbox login screen. After that, switched to GE0Proton9-22 and had zero issues.
Game crashed after logging in to Xbox account and displaying menu. Switched to Proton Experimental, didn't work. GE worked flawlessly.
%command% -d3d11
The game has switched to direct x 12 by default, this means you need to force the use of direct x 11 if your card doesn't support directx12. When the game launched it asked me if I wanted to check the save data, but selecting yes made the game stop responding, when I selected no it just worked.
Similarly to another user I was having issues logging in, the login menu was completely blank. I tried what they did- moving the window to my second monitor and wiggling it around- but that didn't seem to do anything. After a good ~6 game launches it just magically opened fine. As far as I can tell it wasn't something I did that fixed it so. If you run into that issue just give it a good few attempts.
After I was able to log in I changed the direct x version through the in-game menu to 11 instead of 12 and restarted. The game runs well & without issue once you do get in, nothing wrong as far as I can tell.
%command% -d3d11
Xbox Log in popup was blank. I'm using two monitors so the solution was to drag it to the second monitor and do a little shake and the form would load.
