Can enjoy game with a minor caveat that if you try to quit the game through the Quit option, the game crashes.

Game doesn't close properly when exiting the game.
Uh, don't add any mods to the game. This game nearyl borked my system when trying to use the Enhanced Tekken Visuals mod that removes motion blur, chromatic aberration, bloom, etc. Caused my system to panic and crap itself so be careful.
Just don't mod it. Play as normal but game doesn't close properly.

"Failed to communicate with the server." Logging into the game and accessing the shop works without any issues, but attempting to play online results in a connection failure.
All game modes work fine except for online play, which fails to connect. I tested this on Bazzite a few weeks ago and everything was working perfectly back then. I hope they haven’t changed the anti-cheat system since. If anyone know how to fix this please let me know.

The game connects online but doesn't let me get into a match with anyone, not even other PC players
While it's fine to play offline, it doesn't let me match with anyone online and I would appreciate it if anyone report a fix for this on mint cinnamon 22.1

After a few games, performance degrades and graphics settings are forced to the lowest settings. A restart fixes it.
Framerate is usually < 30 fps when first starting the game or loading a map. After a few moments in game fps returns to normal. Game start up can take a few minutes as well (After cinematics, before main menu).
I would consider it playable, but far from an optimal experience.
Everything worked normally, even better than on Windows 11 install with same HW
Everything ran better than on Win 11 with no issues. Que times were abnormally long compared to Win 11 with same network settings.
Works great out of the box
had no music during a match once. It was back for the next match.
The game for some reason won't let you play with playstation players in private match rooms and will even make your game crash.
Proton 9.0-4
I can't play with playstation players in private room's.
gamemoderun %command%
anda perfecto no eh tenido ningun problema, ni en el online ni offline
some slowdowns and dips during some loadings and menus.

The game varies between 57-60 FPS causing input lag no matter the resolution/graphics chosen. Enabling VRR on my monitor seems to have fixed the issue.
Works decently well out the box with Bazzite
Used a hitbox, the "share" button doesn't seem to be mapped
Works straight out the box with Bazzite, no issues here as far as I can tell. There IS a little bit of a noticable input difference between Windows and Linux. Can't exactly pin point or explain what it is, but just know that there is indeed a bit of a difference... Not too bad to adjust to though, a few sets and you get used to it.
Was able to queue up against console players and PC players fine

electrics, sidestep electrics, etc., are easier to pull off on Windows compared to Linux. after testing & switching between the two multiple times (i dual-boot), i conclude that it's not just in my head, it's true; my execution is better on Windows.
Other than the performance issue I mentioned, the game runs perfectly with my launch options, including multiplayer.

FPS drops significantly if PC has been up for longer. Need to restart PC completely before FPS goes back up.
If your game seems stuttery/slow despite it saying 60fps, change your GPUs Performance Level setting to High using programs like LACT
Changed "Performance Level" setting in LACT to "Highest Clocks"
Potentially, Steam Overlay may bug out. This was solved by a re-install of Tekken 8
Stutters may appear if you do not have your GPU's Performance Level set to High.
Online matchmaking is unstable, randomly disconnects without cause.
First time launching had overcast across both displays in 4k instead of only on my main monitor.
I have tried playing this on both Windows 11 and EndeavorOS, and while its perfectly stable offline on my linux side; no issues in CPU battles, training mode, story, couch 1v1s. When I go online, the first match against someone is perfectly stable, but if I rematch them in the standard BO3 format, the game will disconnect around 20 seconds into the second match routinely. I have seen this in both online casual, online ranked, and custom lobbies with friends and strangers alike, but the second I switch to Windows I can play 10 games in a row against the same person without issue.
Doesn't work out of the box with NVIDIA at the time of this being written, doesn't seem to affect every computer
Game works if you use the old-media-source branch of Proton Experimental (select Proton Experimental in your Steam Library -> cog icon -> Properties -> Betas -> click dropdown next to Beta Participation), in the meantime, follow the issue report for any more updates https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/7444

delete game compat files before launch
The game fails to launch if I do not first delete the compatibility files created from the previous launch (SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/1778820).
While I do experience a minor issue with the compat files, I do not think this is a large hurdle for entry and does not detract the enjoyment of the game.

had to manually install vcrun2022 with protontricks
ran into 2 major issues, the first was that the game wouldn't even launch without using protontricks to install cvrun2022 (the prefix for Tekken 8 is 1778820). The second issue is that the game was using my integrated graphics card so I had ot force it to use the dedicated card. Outside of that the game ran as well as I expected it to and the online play worked for me. Was able to play ranked and connect to the fight lounge no problem.
gamemoderun PROTON_LOG=1 %command%
You need to install vcrun2022 with protontricks. for some reason Microsoft Visual C++ is missing after a clean install and the game doesn't launch without it.
at first, the game wouldn't even attempt to launch, I had to go to steam settings and clear download cache, afterwards i got the Visual C++ error
This is the command I used for protontricks: protontricks 1778820 --gui
Since the most recent patch (Heihachi), the game crashes shortly after loading the menu with a "LowLevelFatalError".
HOST_LC_ALL=$(echo $LANG)
I've tried Proton Experimental, Hotfix, and the default. All fail at the same spot. Various launch options suggested here, like "gamemoderun", didn't work either.
"'Fatal Error" after 30s when booting up the game more than once.
HOST_LC_ALL=en_GB.UTF-8 gamemoderun %command%
On Nvidia cards the game only works when installing it for the first time. On subsequent start-ups the game encounters a Polaris "Fatal Error" after 30sec.
This happens on both X and Wayland and only with Nvidia cards.

Got the startup options from a comment down below. Working great even without it.

Occasional fps drop like -2-3 fps
This happens during 15% less battery or in some stages. This is rare just set graphics to low

The game checks Windows' locale configs to determine matchmaking region, Proton users are defaulted into North America, forcing locale via environment variables in Launch Options does the trick.
In regards to CrossPlay, you might not be able to match against PS5 players in lobbies. If thats the case, edit /etc/hosts and comment out the line containing your hosname.
Combined with the recently released potato stages mod you can consider it Platinum status.
it has worked without tinkering for months but I forgot to send a new report after the last report where switching to hotfix was necessary
I have reviewed this game before but feel it was worth posting another after putting hundreds of hours into this game and purchasing a hitbox!
After a large amount of play time with a razer kitsune, I can say this game seems to work flawlessly. I've never had an issue with online play nor my hitbox being picked up. This game is as plug and play as it gets!
-windowed
Hyprland was a little finicky on fullscreen. Added -windowed in launch option and went fullscreen in game with keybinds should help.
Works fine on my machine and Steam Deck. Hyprland runs this game flawlessly.
I have tried Proton <Experimental,9.0-2,Hotfix>, none worked out.
HOST_LC_ALL=$(echo $LANG) gamemoderun %command%
The game plays starting cinema, then freezes, which also causes the system to start lagging. After some pause, the window manager restarts and I have to login again into the system (the session crashes). Tried different launching options
gamemoderun %command%
My ps5 controller wasnt detected by tekken but worked with steaminput so not a big deal.
The game did not boot without the latest nvidia driver installed (v550) and would only boot into the opening cutscene without gamemode. but after those hurdles everything works perfect, theres no crossplay so hypothetically i think theres a higher chance of cheaters but i haven't experienced any problems
