50 fps at 1440p ultra settings
No issues, however, It runs so astonishingly slow. Could be unrelated to linux (i.e it may run bad on all platforms).
Extremely slow. When outside, the performence drops to sub 10fps even on the lowest settings.

EXTREME slowdown in outdoor segments, the game has the ENTIRE MAP RENDERED AT ALL TIMES.
After my first report, I found that someone managed to get the game running on Steam Deck (Their video can be found Here) which galvanized my efforts to find a way to make it work. Fortunately, I just got off a fresh reimage of my Deck, meaning that I could actually try it in a more vanilla environment.
So, with using CryoByte33's script to alter swap file size, swappiness, and TRIM enabling, I redownloaded the Prologue and just launched it straight up. To my surprise, it launched and actually booted into the menu! However, this is where the miracles stopped.
Getting into the game led to HUGE framedrops that not even downgrading the settings could fix. Tried altering the TDP Limit because the GPU was being throttled hard but no dice. Indoor segments are reasonable but going outside led to a massive frame drop to around 10-15 with lows as low as 8!
In conclusion, while the game boots up and runs, it's not in a good state to be played. If anyone could find a way to eke out better performance from this, go right ahead.
Game refuses to start up. No version of Proton worked. Desktop Mode did not give any insight.
I have tried the following:
- Proton 7
- Proton Next
- Proton Experimental
- Proton Hotfix
- The oldest available version of Proton
And for the sake of being thorough, even though it wouldn't yield anything, I even tried Steam Tinker Launch and Luxtorpeda on the off-chance that I'd somehow conjure a miracle, no dice there either. Even tried booting it in Desktop mode and it seems like it starts to launch and then immediately shuts itself down.
I think it's safe to say that between this and the other report(s), this game is borked at the moment, at least, for Linux.
The game won't start
The game does not launch on any version of Proton.
