Game jumps to second screen
Some of the game's buttons such as Load and Save and the corresponding menus are not as responsive as I would've hoped for requiring to jiggle the cursor around the button for a bit to get it selected.
PROTON_USE_WINED3D=0 PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 DXVK_ENABLE_DXR=1 gamemoderun %command% -skip_launcher
Works fine OOTB, DXVK_ENABLE_DXR=1 required for ray tracing on my card. Flawless performance
Quoting Nvidia Changelog: "Fixed a bug that could cause the applications that use the VK_KHR_present_wait extension to hang on Wayland."
The error I got at crash time when running Steam and thus Hitman via Terminal seemed to relate to this and since switiching to the beta driver, the game has been running very well and without any crashes.
The game freezes randomly or frequently
Tested Proton Experimental and proton 9.0.4 - 8.05 - 7.0.6 - 6.3.8 same problem
Frequent crashes. Sometimes I can't start the first mission, sometimes I can play e.g. two missions and the third one crashes.
Game freezes & crashes after a random amount of time, but rather sooner than later.
Tried with Proton Experimental and Proton-GE10-2. No luck.
Install and play, nothing to report
None.
Sometimes the audio rendering engine I guess pulse audio doesn't play nice with each other or something sometimes the audio just fades away and comes back suddenly, weird issues with sometimes volume is louder on the left (Checked the hardware no problems with my connection or my headphones)
Go to Library > rightclick on the game > properties > compatibility > change to Proton 9.0-4
Barely works. At best I was able to play for 10 minutes.
Usually I can't even get into the menu. Video just freezes (audio still works), the game crashes after a few minutes. I tried changing the graphics settings, GPU, Proton version, inserting many launch options, all to no avail.
Selected "proton hotfix" and in the autorun menu selected options and "Exclusive FullScreen"
Runs out of the box
Works like a charm without any tinkering, possibly better than on Windows even
This game works perfectly fine
Install and play; nothing bad to report, everything just works.
Game did not even launch
Probably did something wrong but i could not even get the game to launch. Tried methods listed in here but no success.
PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command% -dx11
The game flashed between fullscreen and windowed on startup
The game freezes a few minutes after starting and needs to be forcibly closed
Right Trackpad to Mouse (For Aiming), Touch Left Trackpad to Right Click (For Aiming), Click Right Trackpad to Left Click (To Shoot), Click Left Trackpad to Control Key (For the special vision thing)
Locked at 45Hz
Ootb it didn't work. Never even started from Steam. Tried different things written here on Protondb and, for my configuration, nothing worked but disabling Vsync and switching to this proton version.
Works great OOTB.
DXVK_ASYNC=1 PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=0 VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr11 VKD3D_FEATURE_LEVEL=11 %command% -dx11
Installed ZHM Mod SDK for graphical and gameplay mods - https://github.com/OrfeasZ/ZHMModSDK - I use Skip Intro mod for faster startup time, and FreeCam mod so you can explore the game in cinematic fashion and figure out NPC pathing and behaviours for Contracts. I also use a Visual Mod that changes the colors for NPC outlines and object interactables to make them each uniquely distinguishable, as well as Level Mods that changes up the lighting visual for some maps.
Installing mods like ZHM Mod SDK might give you instability or crashing issues, so long as you don't install or use too many mods. Using the Mod Menu for certain things in-game might crash the game sometimes, especially if you're messing with giving yourself items, moving items or messing with NPCs.
protontricks is required if you're installing Peacock
Infrequent crashes when loading a save. The save remains intact.
Runs better than the Windows version, which had microstutters and alt-tab issues. Seemingly all fixed with Proton. Steady 60fps on vsync.
Highly recommend the Peacock Project which replaces the online server with a local server that keeps you in control of your save data, restores unobtainable unlocks, and allows multiple attempts for Elusive Targets. Peacock runs natively on Linux as an officially-supported platform.
I also managed to get Simple Mod Framework working by adding the mod manager as a non-steam game that runs in the same wine prefix as the main game. It's really finicky however: It took several attempts to deploy mods, and any mods that rely on Peacock plugins won't work. If you decide to try it anyway I'd recommend Heritage UI and Downright Excessive Renaming Project for a cleaner experience.
Nothing short of amazing. I can play this incredible game from the comfort of my bed lol.. at well above 75fps consistently
I use the decky framegen plugin. It allows the usage of dlss and framegen
To get the smoothest experience I recommend using DeckyFrameGen to be able to use DLSS and frame generation. It adds about 20-30 fps with a minimal impact on input delay
PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1, VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr
Solid 60fps, no issues.
Repeated freezes at random intervals; retains audio but video stuck
Freezes but retains audio at random intervals - sometimes shortly after loading a level, sometimes up to 20 minutes into playing. Will continue playing audio ad infinitum, including dialogue going on around the player character, but never resumes video; stays frozen on that screen.
Hitman: WOA fixes the biggest issue I had with Hitman 2; the small text prompts that were made harder to read by the Steam Deck's 800p screen.
-skip_launcher recommended for quality of life. Performance can be improved by about 10FPS using FSR 2 on balanced mode. I believe this also improves battery life, although I didn't do any proper testing to be able to say this for fact or give any values.
limited fps to 66 on oled. i didnt feel any terrible input lag. definitely playable and enjoyable. not speedrun quality though.
Changed most settings to medium, but honestly higher might be fine if you only want 30fps. 60 fps stable indoors for the most part.
Frequent crashes without VSync
Enabling VSync fixed all crashes
Barely playable with frequent crashes and freezes
Frequently just freezes then exits, no amount of tinkering has fixed
