Some fonts were not loaded properly when using trading post or wizard vault
I've created an AUR package for Arch users called ttf-menomonia which fixes the font issues. It basically installs a font family missing from the game: Menomonia
A smooth, good experience, even with the game being non-native
Text being slightly blurry when in windowed mode
It's good, I've expected some issues, yet, running it was as if I did it on Windows. I'm just in love with this game.

For some reasons when doing fractals (which is what i mostly do) almost everytime after finshing the fractal and going back to the lobby, the game would hang in the loading screen and no matter how long i wait it wont just load, the only fix was restarting the whole game. I tried disabling addons, and using lutris install script with winetricks and those didn't work but using proton 9.0-4 seems to make it a little better at least.
And something that might actually be related to the loading screen problem the wizard's vault and the in-game store take a long time to load or refuse to load no matter how long you wait some times. Also some addons just do some weird stuff, for example boon table just refuses to load the saved settings after a restart.
latest patch breaks the game fully

tried several proton versions, none worked

Using Steam's shader pre-caching is vital to reducing stuttering. Experienced no crashes, occasional slowdowns
Perfectly playable, have no issues so far. Enjoyed my linux playthrough as much as on windows (Even more tbh).

Same game menus cause audio stuttering
The game doesn't work as perfect as it's said to be on the internet, and weirdly I've never seen these issues mentioned on the internet, maybe it's just a me issue. Opening CEF menus, trading post and wizard's vault, causes audio to cut for a brief moment and the fonts are not the same as on Windows(this is same for everyone). The font is not that big of a deal. But given how frequently you interact with these menus, this is actually very annoying, I only realized how annoying this is after playing on Windows again. These menus can be notoriously slow to load, and for me they're even slower on Linux.
My pc is old I had to try a lot of proton versions

Running in hybrib mode with NVIDIA RTX3050 on wayland. I had to use this command line on steam to fix black screen while running the game.
Works out the box the free content, but sound in Path of fire (CInematics) It's totally broken.

Use -provider Portal launch argument if you have an existing account. Worked flawlessly with very minimal effort.

Before setting the right parameters, FPS was dropping to 20
The game is pretty old, and it needs these parameters. For a stable and comfortable game. Because the main problem is that the FPS drops a lot.
The game runs smooth with no tinkering neede with Proton Experimental. Not sure why my reports are calssified as tinker reports.

Adding the parameters for "WINE_CPU_TOPOLOGY=12", "WINEDEBUG=-all" and "-USEALLAVAILABLECORES" nearly doubled my framerate. Before that, my framerate was considerbly lower OOTB.

Game begins to stutter when moving mouse after ~30min playing
Use LD_PRELOAD to stop stuttering after 30min. Use -provider Portal to login with Arenanet account.
-provider Portal
To use Arenanet accounts use launch option: -provider Portal. Steam account will be used otherwise.
Occasional stuttering. Practically native.
Occasional stuttering not present on Windows. Greatly lessened by recompiling the vulkan shader cache after each update (the first compilation is the longest).

Use mentioned launch parameters if you own arena.net account, otherwise no changes are required.
