For 20 seconds on the mountain zone, changed to medium preset and started to look alright (Before i was in Extreme preset)
When launching with Proton-9 Could not change to window mode in the settings menu, i needed to do alt+enter
Could not open xbox for inviting/joining friends
Apart from the error explained before, Online with other people worked flawlessly
Just to add. For logging in you need to run proton-9 and press alt+enter to make it in windowded mode. After that it will pop up the xbox loggin screen, log in and then you can change to your prefered proton
In the start menu, the press enter to continue button or what it is called only works after switching to another window with ALT+TAB and back multiple times

Runs well out of the box. Only needs to log in to Microsoft account in prompt using UI Keyboard. Frame drops when driving above 270kph
Limit screen to 60hz
On first launch, will prompt to log in to Microsoft account. Just open the keyboard (Steam + X) and log in to your account.
Frame drops or minor stutters will happen when driving constantly above 280kph (too quick for the deck)
Able to hit smooth 60fps in Low settings. Medium Settings is possible but not stable 60fps, would often drop to around 45-50fps. Maybe possible when plugged in (only tried on battery)

le jeu fonctionne parfaitement, galere pour ce connecté au compte
Probleme au debut pour l'enregistrement du compte la fenetre ne voulais pas apparaitre, en jouent avec le choix des proton a un moment ca a fonctionné

Proton Experimental is required to get past the start screen. No other proton version that I tried would show the account login popup. After switching to Experimental, there were no further issues.

had to enable proton experimental to get the login window to work. Downloaded the xbox app on my phone and can invite through that.

The latest update broke Microsoft authorization. To get the authorization window, you need to delete the folder /steamapps/shadercache/1551360 and switch to Proton 9.0-4. You can also add the startup command if the authorization window still does not appear: --force-windows-fullscreen

After getting "You May Not Proceed Without Being Signed In To A Profile" I switched from Proton Experimental to GE-Proton9-16 and deleted following folders: /steamapps/compatdata/1551360 and /steamapps/shadercache/1551360

FH5 works nicely on my Steam/Debian + Proton 9.0-4 + Logitech F310 Joystick. There are occationally hangs. The game loads extremely slow, though, a problem general to FH5.

I was unable to start playing, because of the "Sign in needed" pop up.
There is a bug which is a pop up with the title "Sign in needed". On Windows you can solve that easily using credential manager, but I was unable to fix it.

Figure out black screen after updating game or updating driver just by delete shrader cache
For a few days i got black screen when running this game after last update. I've update my driver but get nothing. I tried delete last proton config (steamapps/compatdata/1551360) and check integrity files but have no luck.
Recently i figure out this issue (at least for my case) by deleting shrader cache in:
SteamLibrary/steamapps/shadercache/1551360/
After i delete this folder, the game start smoothly as expected!

Can't login into xbox account
"You May Not Proceed Without Being Signed In To A Profile" message all the time. I tried to switch proton versions, to remove prefix, but nothing helps

This game not playable anymore afer last update. Just get blank screen after launch.
I've tried anything custom command but still get same result, just blank. Try to switch to proton experimental an other version also got same result.

Switch to proton experimental and press alt + enter (to make the app windowed). On full screen you see just a black screen.
App doesn't start with the default proton, With experimental proton the full screen is broken

recently the install broke. i had to switch to given launch commands. window doesnt show without --force-windows-fullscreen flag. idk why, could be my fault.
Game opened, able to signin to xbox, loading screen after selecting play game freezes and then it crashes automatically

Getting it running is a living hell, but I've sinked 72 hours into it. Get at a discount.

G920 doesn't work out of the box

I used Proton 6.3-8 with a UGREEN NVMe enclosure containing a 990 Pro. The game runs when I mount the drive under /mnt, but not when it’s mounted under /media- you may need to raise vm.max_map_count
.
Intros are flickering and after that, the displ.,ay stays dark

Works w/o Tinkering
I haven't tried multiplayer yet, however everything else works and runs perfectly. Looks great.
The window to log in with my Xbox account took a really long time to load. I just sat and waited, and it all worked eventually.

Currently works if A. You initially run as experimental (to sign into MS), and B. You utilize Gamescope. Without Gamescope I sit at a black screen after the initial videos.

Would not run on Flatpak version of Steam. File path to long.

Works well OOB
Slightly worse stuttering and frame pacing than Windows. Not like it matters much since it's already horribly optimised.
The fact this is playable on Linux (and with the EOL-esque updates that remove fomo like Backstage and Realms) is getting me back into this game, so of course I had to write a report here too.

Worked out of box, just be patient.
Takes a Long time to cache Vulkan shaders (20+ minutes)

pop-in of shadows and foliage.
Sometimes the game opens and flickers before blackscreening. Making the game windowed and then dragging the window around my screen while it's launching fixed this.
Sometimes I would open the game and have low fps (around 30fps), restarting the game then brought me back up to 90-120fps.

Seems after years of being compatible with linux has done this title bad, can't seem to get past the impervious black screen of doom
a lot
all in all, very dissapointed, 3 years ago i was at least able to play the damned thing but now all it shows is a black screen of absolute missery, very saddened by this

Perfect out of box experience.
Install and play.

My PS4 controller can be detected normally in the controller settings page of the Steam client, but it couldn't be detected in-game. I was able to fix the issue by following this: steamcommunity.com/app/221410/discussions/0/1693795812304458372/
The game runs very smoothly on Manjaro, aside from the PS4 controller issue and some occasional graphical glitches. Overall, the game performs really well, and there's absolutely no problem with online multiplayer.
A few months ago, I played the game on Nobara 40/41. Initially, it ran very smoothly, but after playing for a while (about an hour), I started to experience increasingly frequent and annoying stuttering. At first, I thought it might have been caused by a game update breaking a patch, but the issue seems to be related to Nobara itself—because after switching to Manjaro, the problem completely disappeared. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to pinpoint the exact cause. If you encounter the same issue on Nobara, I recommend trying a different distro.

High intensity flickering during the opening cutscenes. Proton experimental was required for the initial Microsoft sign-in required on first boot.
As per earlier reports, gamescope was required (In my case) to run the game without being presented with an headache inducing flicker during the opening cutscenes.
Those issues aside, its been stable and performant experience - online all working properly, ready for friends and family to get this great title on PS5.
Alt-Tabing to an application gives a black screen, but pressing Win key and then selecting the application or Alt-Tab to another application before desired one works fine.

On Hyprland, the first big window that appears is frozen in fullscreen (switching to windowed mode for that segment fixes the issue). After the initial intros play, a new window is spawned, which can be put to fullscreen, but with black bars around the bottom and right of the screen. During the entirety of the intros playing and the game window being open, there's another window in the background, which is fully black at all times (seems to be responsible for controller handling).
My DualSense controller (through Steam Input) would sometimes disconnect, and the game would remember the last pushed buttons and moved joysticks, leading the car to continue responding to the last input before the controller froze and disconnected after a few seconds. This happens very rarely, and re-connecting the controller fixes it most of the time. In rare cases, the haptive feeedback strength forces itself to 100% (any slight rumble would be at maxed-out), making it very uncomfortable to play for basically any period of time. Restarting the computer fully resolves any of those issues, be it the random disconnects or the excessive rumble.
Loading a save after setting a home on either of the expansion maps is much slower, and sometimes gets stuck in an infinite loop. Uninstalling the expansions forces the game to spawn the player on the regular map. To prevent this, I always return out of the expansions and save afterwards.
From time to time, the game stutters for up to 1-2 seconds when loading new areas. It seems to be mostly fixed now, so it might soon not be an issue anymore.
Loading into either expansion might take longer than usual, sometimes even a few minutes. While that is happening, the frame rate is artificially limited to 30 FPS, the same as when loading a save directly from an expansion. Joining an online game also temporarily limits the frame rate while loading, but from what I've seen, its loading speed seems unaffected.
Switching to Proton Experimental is absolutely necessary for the login window to pop up. After the initial login, both Proton Hotfix and ProtonGE work just fine.
In order to remove the black bars in fullscreen on Hyprland, the following solution works:
- Switch to a second workspace right after pressing "Play"
- After the small splash screen with a car and the game's name appears, switch to a third workspace
- Once the third workspace opens a black window, move back to the second workspace - the window that spawned there will contain the game
- Bind compositor-wide fullscreen key binding in your Hyprland configuration (~/.config/hypr/hyprland.conf):
bind = SUPER, F11, fullscreen
- Focus the game's window and use the key binding that you've just added to your configuration (Super+F11 in this case)
The reason the custom key bind is necessary, is because toggling fullscreen with Alt+Enter will cause the game to flicker a few seconds before exiting back to windowed mode).
