Sometimes I have to restart the game 2-3 times to get good FPS
After playing for a while my keyboard keys start lagging and holding themselves pressed long after being released

PC Hard Crash (Black Screen) After Extended Gameplay Sessions
Description
As referenced in my previous report, the game causes a full system hard crash (resulting in a black screen) after approximately 2-3 hours of continuous gameplay. The crash appears to be GPU-related. Following the initial crash, subsequent gameplay sessions become unstable and trigger additional crashes more frequently.
System Impact
- Full system lockup requiring hard reboot
- Increased crash frequency after initial incident
Solution / Workaround
Add this launch option to the game:VKD3D_CONFIG=nodxr %command%
Technical Explanation:
This disables DirectX Raytracing (DXR) via the Vulkan translation layer (VKD3D-Proton), resolving GPU stability issues as documented here:
ProtonDB Report #X5XRrfMTUZ
Ran perfectly. FSR supported. Literally 0 issue.
No change compared to what I used to play on Windows. Perfect.
It runns great and is a very good game but i have crashes after some time
After some time the game crashes and leeds to a compleate black screen that only a hard reset fixes
40FPS/40HZ limit, 13w TDP
With FSR3.1 enabled, item descriptions and tutorials/help appear blurry and shimmer
Installed GOG version via Heroic. Took care of all dependancies. Roughly 60 hours into the campaign so far and the game runs great.
I played through KCD1 to completion just before starting KCD2, and KCD2 runs better in every way. Better graphics, animations, sound, voice acting, optimization, frame pacing, and how it runs on Steam Deck.
Two options for for graphics: either lock to 30FPS with FSR off, or 40fps with FSR on. FSR upscaling does provide higher FPS, but there is some minor ghosting with plants, map looks terrible, and item description in the menu is more blurry. However the majority of the gameplay looks good and runs very smooth with FSR.
GOG / Heroic does not have cloud saves for KCD2 unfortunately, and the achievements do not register in my GOG account on Linux.

The game sometimes does not start.
With my AMDGPU I was facing many issues with even starting the game. After weeks of trying I am not able to quite safely start and enjoy the game. What I did:
- I had to upgrade mesa libs to the latest one (probably most critical for my amdgpu)
- upgraded linux kernel to latest version
- I don't start the game after the computer wakes up. I rather restart the computer before playing
- I disabled resizable BAR + Above 4G Decoding in UEFI
My all issues seem to be somehow related to my amdgpu configuration.
Added mods
Works as intended
Had zero issues, genuinely amazing on Linux
Runs like a charm, just had to update the launch options. Using GE proton, just because, probably not required.

Had some stutters after few hours, every time I changed view with mouse - same as in RDR2. Putting in the launch options fixed that.
For some reason, save files have timestamp one hour off my timezone. Nothing game breaking.
tested PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND and lowered performance if anyone was interested.
Game does not start or freezes at EULA page
The game does not start at all, freezes right after starting with black screen or freezes on the EULA page. All seems to be random.
Tried with Proton Experimental, GE, standard version, ...
This is one of the most beautiful games I've ever played, and it runs extremely well.
Czasami pojawiają się artefakty dźwiękowe (rzadko) w rodzaju trzeszczenia
Podczas poruszania się czasami postać dalej reaguje pomimo braku wciśniętego klawisza (trwa to zdecydowanie za długo aby nazwać to lekkim dyskomfortem)
Running perfectly without any tinkering
Install launch and play.
Perfect performance, seems to be even faster than on Windows 11
PROTON_LOG=1 %command%
Ran better than on Windows, with the same machine I had 70-80 fps on Windows 10 and get 90-100 fps on my Linux with the exact same settings and the same location ( I use steam cloud save to use the same save to test it)
With default settings it was struggling on 30 FPS, but after turning on FSR it basically never drops below 40
TDP set to 10 W, locked on 40 FPS
After locking the Deck the sound sometimes start crackling
Ствыил различные моды, что есть в ПК версии - все отлично работает
Для работы с модом на сохранения без зелья поставил на задний лепесток клавишу F5, и также по мелочи (где-то карту открывать, где-то инвентарь)
30 Fps lock
Runs perfect out of the box without any configuration
This is the way all games should be on Linux. Just install. Launch and play!

Runs as expected

Been a week or so since I started playing, no crashes, no graphical issues. Just perfect. I tried comparing the performance to windows on day1 and did not notice any significant drops. Already forgot the performance I had on windows but from what I recall, it was exactly the same as I have on NixOS (70-90FPS on all medium)
The game is beautiful, no need to get higher settings than medium

There were some crashes caused by DLSS (Native AA) - launch options fixed them. Doesn't look like it was caused by the game itself
It works perfect - it's so well opitized you wont really need DLSS unless you want native AA
