Just launch it and have fun! It'll be better than W word
My computer doesn't have a dedicated GPU so it has bad graphics and stuck on 20FPS ultra low. But it's stable and works great like that in 720p
Worked OOTB
No performance issues that couldn't be explained by my system hardware. Ran better than expected even
Performance are slighty better than windows machine (2-5 FPS delta), No issues with multiplayer
-dx12
Tried using "Proton Experimental" it would not even launch, tried using Vulkan but it lags on the inventory screen, its best to launch with the "-dx12" param
Seemingly working fine with the 10-1 proton beta by default
Occasionally there will be a bit of jitter when playing with online servers, however I believe that is mainly the server end
The game functions flawlessly, and I did not experience any issues!
Cursor didn't get captured by the game for about a minute after loading into the game.
Tested with CachyOS Proton version, Experimental, and 9.0-4. Framerates stayed around the 85-95fps mark at 4K maximum settings running with the above Proton versions.
Switched to Proton Experimental due to having some graphical glitches last year when I played occasionally. Running flawless both in single player and on servers!
I've had zero issues with Palworld so far, and have been able to extensively play multiplayer on a private server with no issues as well. I've had one crash in 30 hours, but suspect that was a connectivity issue. This game works great!
DRI_PRIME=1 %command%
Due to my setup I had to set the DRI_PRIME environment variable to use my dedicated GPU, but this is not required on most desktop systems
Work out of the box, no tinkering required (I have a laptop with AMD dgpu, i did not have to specify it in the launch options)
mangohud %command%
Works perfectly fine
DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="5500 XT" %command% -dx12
2-3fps before tweaking launch options
defaulted to integrated graphics and dx11. Ensuring dedicated graphics bumped performance to around 25fps at 720p very low. ensuring dx12 pushed that to a locked 60fps at 1080p medium.
Good out of the box experience.
If running a co-op world, every so often fps will just tank and wont recover until restart. But game also has some trouble at 4k on medium settings and lower when more than like 12 pals at a base.
Make sure if youre doing the hosting on your own machine that youve got some beefy specs.
DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="1650" %command%
The game has massive frame drops (up to 70%) after certain events (usually after you teleport somewhere). However, this can be fixed by reloading the world.
If you don't specify your Dedicated GPU, the game will automatically use your integrated GPU, which usually results in the game becoming unplayable. And I think if you have better hardware, then the frame drops don't matter

runs perfectly fine GE proton 9-25
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="version, winmm=n,b" %command% -dx12
i installed optiscaler + dlss enabler, my pc its not great but with those mods i got better performance
Had to disable iGPU in BIOS otherwise I had single digit FPS
Issues with iGPU enabled at first.
Vertical Lines are visibile during cutscenes, but not during regular play.
Slight Stuttering upon loading in, and game consistently becomes choppy after of an hour of playtime. Rebooting the game fixes the choppiness.
Played singleplayer on and off and multiplayer in a friend's world for a few hours and didn't experience any issues.
Runs smoothly but Online is weak.
Constantly lags, especially official servers.
Works fine at first but further you progress on the map fps drops happens time to time. Official servers are unplayable due to lag and community servers are inactive mostly. Even if you can find a server their weird rules makes it boring.
Mouse would vanish in the player creation menu, however this seems to be a universal problem in Palworld rather than a linux only issue.
After about an hour into gameplay I started getting heavy lag spikes out of nowhere that would calm down after a couple minutes, then start back up. Fixed by restarting the game.
Spontaneous performance problems after extended gameplay.
The only issues I can note are frame instability after extended playtime and my cursor going invisible on the player creation menu. However both of these seem like they are universal issues within Palworld and could just be getting exaggerated by Proton.

Game started in windowed screen but had no problem switching to fullscreen within game settings.
The game wouldn't use my AMD GPU, only booting with my Intel iGPU. This resulted in absurdly low framerates -- 6FPS at 4K Max.
I went to my BIOS and forcibly disabled my iGPU, which now has everything working correctly.
If the game picks up on your GPU, then you won't need to tinker at all. If it doesn't…
Boots, but not playable (single digit FPS)
I believe it's trying to use my Intel iGPU instead of my AMD GPU. My AMD GPU is reporting 0% utilization (which makes sense, given that the game defaults to Very Low settings and the lowest resolution). At anything sensible for my AMD GPU (i.e., 4K resolution, High/Ultra settings) the game is at ~5FPS and is not playable in the slightest.
PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=1 DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="3080" PROTON_FORCE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE=1 gamemoderun %command%
Mouse kept disappearing periodically, but not a huge issue.
The game runs great on the OLED steam deck, but with the EOS problem I can't play with my friends for now.
The game keeps saying EOS Timeout when booting up just before main menu, causing private multiplayer worlds to get disabled for singleplayer use only. Official and Community dedicated servers work, but not private worlds. Not sure what EOS is anyways.
Will continue to mess with it in the hopes it will work properly.
A completely fully smooth experience, in exception for requiring to enable full screen in the menu otherwise it'll be in a tiny window, and that the graphics settings are not auto detected which is no biggie at all, works flawlessly.
played with Proton Hotfix never had any problems, worked out of the box
