borderless windowed still has panels visible but regular fullscreen works fine
mouse pointer shows at random and requiers clicking on the game window to regain focus. contrler still works even when pointer is visible
sometimes kernel panics during cutscenes
FSR does not show in menus but i don't know if the game supports it or not.
Runs great on AMD RX 9070. Downgraded graphics slightly to get a consistent 60fps at 4K with scaling. No issues.

It works great out of the box, so no tinkering is needed. On the first boot, a Visual C++ Redistributable installation wizard will appear, completing an install without any problems and letting the game run. Otherwise, you can try to install vc_redist through protontricks. (Custom launch options are not required; I'm using those as my default.)
I experienced very bad audio crackling straight from the main menu that persisted in game. I was finally able to fix it by changing these Pipewire settings:
.config/pipewire/pipewire-pulse.conf
pulse.min.req = 256/48000
pulse.min.frag = 256/48000
pulse.min.quantum = 256/48000
Installing game required Microsoft C++ Redistributable, but this ran successfully through the pop-up installer shown. Worked out of the box.
Compatibility set to Proton Hotfix
Also worked perfectly fine with Proton Experimental and Hotfix
У Wine Configuration треба було поставити msvcp140, mscvcp140_1, mscvcp140_2, vcruntime140, vcruntime140_1, бо без них кожен запуск гра хотіла встановити або видалити С++ Runtime
Every time I tried to start the game, it wanted to install or uninstall C++ Runtime. Go to Wine Configuration and add msvcp140, mscvcp140_1, mscvcp140_2, vcruntime140, vcruntime140_1.
Steam Proton Не завантажував катсцени, допоміг перехід на Wine GE-latest Steam Proton couldn't load cutscenes, showed black screen. Switching to Wine GE-latest fixed it.
Час від часу, одразу після запуску гра не бачила мій геймпад. Допомагає перезапуск гри. From time to time, right after starting the game, it refused to recognize my controller. Reloading the game helps.
Після всіх виправлень награв 7 годин і за цей час більше не помітив жодних проблем.
After fixing the game, I played for 7 hours without any problems.
Great game, runs smoothly.
I started the game on Windows, and I wasn't able to get my Steam cloud saves to continue my save on Nobara Linux

protontricks for installing vc_redist.
I noticed a minor stutter when loading new area or after custscene compared to when on Windows 11.
I noticed a little bit of popin for small objects like rocks on the world map compared to when on Windows 11.
I am on KDE Plasma.
Works flawlessly out of the box
Played it first on Linux Mint 22.1 with kernel 6.8.0-59-generic but I could not get a stable 60 FPS on medium settings. It had an average FPS of around 40. In Bazzite the performance is significantly better and I can run the game with an average FPS of around 55.

Only hiccup after an hour of play was that my system's lock screen triggered during a particularly long cutscene after no input, but running gamemode will (presumably) fix that issue.
I haven't seen others mention it, but during installation I was prompted to install "Microsoft Visual C++ runtime" after booting the game. Clicking install worked without any issue and the game was able to boot as expected.
Requires Windows Visual C++ Redistributable to run
Attempting to boot the game provides a popup that it requires Windows Visual C++ Redistributable to run. I'm sure you could run this with Lutris and Wine or whatever, but for just playing through Steam directly on Linux, it will not run.
Audio does crackle intermittently. Usually at the menu screen and sometimes throughout the game but does not persist.
I would highly recommend playing with a current version of GE-Proton. I was running Experimental and other versions before this and was having issues with cutscenes showing a test screen. GE-Proton fixed the issue and I've been able to play and beat the game.

Setup (OLED): Handheld Modus mit Low Settings. XeSS auf Performance, 30-40 FPS Batteriedauer ~1:30 Wenn Monitor dann nur HD Ready (1366*768) mit den gleichen Settings wie oben. Das Spiel schaut ganz passabel aus mit Low Settings auf den kleinen Schirm, und ist für mobiles Gaming koomplett geeignet!
It works great!
First time I played it froze and crashed after exactly 60min for some reason. No issues after that tho, so im kinda confused xD
Everything seems to work fine besides that weird freeze/crash once. I am playing it with a xbox controller.
Runs great with minor performance loss
I loose about 10-15 FPS compared to Windows, but the frametimes are much smoother. Aside from that the game runs perfectly fine with no problems and no tinkering needed.
I just used GOverlay / MangoHUD to limit the FPS to 45 since ingame you only have a choice between 30 FPS or 60 FPS.
Plays out of the box
Had no problems at all, plays smoothly, no glitches or stutters so far. The upscaling I had to change to TSR, XeSS makes the game look horribly blurry and fuzzy
Fonctionne plutôt bien mais j'ai dû mettre l'option de lancement LD_PRELOAD="" %command% pour ne pas avoir de gros stutter en jeu
LD_PRELOAD="" %command%
Léger craquage sonores mais plutôt rares
Quelque stutter, les cinématiques en ont aussi
Intel XESS looks horrid when not running at native res, not sure if it's kernel issues or just how XESS looks
Flawless
Played with controller
Game fails to launch

Game forces upscaling so I decided to play through the game with experimental FSR4 on Linux via OptiScaler, it ran very smooth and looked great. I recommend ClairObscurFix to uncap cutscenes.
Complete crash of the PC systematically after the cutscene at the end of the tutorial area
With proton 9.0-4 or GE-Proton9-27
Funciona bem no Linux, mas pode exigir comando extra no Bazzite para gráficos completos. Jogável sem ele também.
SteamDeck=0 %command%
O jogo oferece uma experiência sólida no Linux, funcionando normalmente ao ser iniciado diretamente pela Steam com Proton, sem necessidade de ajustes manuais. Para usuários do Bazzite (ou Steam Deck OS), recomenda-se adicionar o parâmetro nas opções de inicialização para garantir que todas as configurações gráficas fiquem disponíveis — especialmente as que podem estar ocultas por padrões de otimização automática.
Mesmo sem esse parâmetro, o jogo ainda é totalmente jogável e estável, o que significa que jogadores menos experientes ou que não desejam fazer modificações ainda poderão aproveitá-lo sem problemas. No geral, a performance e a compatibilidade são excelentes, tornando esta uma ótima escolha para jogadores Linux.
Performance on Linux is pretty are par with windows it seems and is at worst tollerable on the steam deck. Framerate could be better
First install you have to install c++ distributables, there's one yes check box and another window where you have to check a box and hit install, but only the first time
Just in some parts the text is small, unless you have issues reading up close you'll probably be fine, some points it's helpful to use the magnifying shortcut
In the mansion there's some really gross light artifacts with Decky framegen, and you need to use that or xess to make the framerate at least up to 30 in most parts of the game if not slightly under that
I had one single crash when trying to stream it from my linux desktop to the steam deck.
This is one of the better performing UE5 games on linux. It's just so unfortunate how unoptimized the engine is, it's really not this games fault. You can get decent performance on beefyier hardware.
