ProtonDB | Game Details for FINAL FANTASY IV

Once or twice it took a few minutes to load the game's menu, but aside from that I did a 100% achievement playthrough and had no issues.

Wayland is great

Did switch distros from X11 to wayland and screen tearing is a thing of the past for the Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster games.

You have to sit on the loading screen for what feels like 10 minutes, but the game runs perfectly fine otherwise.

Everything was running great, no difference from Windows. The best part was my games carried over thanks to cloud file saves.

The only issue I came across was during installation. It froze at one point after stating it was completed. I closed the install sub-window and relaunched it, and everything was fine.

GPU/Drivers not listed properly in my profile. Currently using Nvidia Quadro M2000 with drivers 470.63.01. I'm not entirely sure why it's not reporting correctly - I'll look into that another time.

Locks up about once every hour or two in battles, but otherwise great

Instability:Occasionally

Not sure if the hanging is due to Proton, or due to poor coding on Square's side. It spits out a NPE, which is typically a bug in the code, not WINE/Proton
