Starts relatively good
Do Alt-Tab to make mouse pointer work right.
Text translation is not full.
Different number of scenarios (campaigns) for English/Polish vs Russian/German versions. First has 2 scenarios (The War for Anthys + The Fallen Enchantress), latter has only 1 (The War for Anthys).
Played with Proton 9.0-4.

Happens on Windows 10, too.
Tried v9 and Experimental, much worse issues.

Missing text
Besides changing Proton to 4.11-13 to resolve main menu issue, delete SDNXLFonts.dll from main folder to get game text to appear again.

Menu unresponsive. Can be circumvented by simulating a windows alt tab by starting a simultaneus game (the deck allows this) & then closing.
This workaround is messy but many text elements are missing from UI even after this. Game technically runs but notusable.

Will not detect input when first loaded
Input does not work on deck until game is minimized and another game is opened. Then after reopening input works.
Non English/Polish users have cut game. Descriptions problem.
Not resolved problem with absence of a text in game elements descriptions (only sometimes short comment). If rename/move file
SDNXLFonts.dll
descriptions appear but button labels disappear. May play without descriptions but flawed.Different number of scenarios (campaigns) for English/Polish and Russian/German versions. First has 2 scenarios - The War for Anthys + The Fallen Enchantress, latter has only 1 - The War for Anthys !!!
Played with Proton 6.3-8.
After start do Alt-Tab to make mouse pointer work.
Works out of the box.
Alt-tab out and in once to make game respond in initial menu.

Had to Alt+Tab before the main menu accepted any input.
Fonts seemed to render properly out of the box without needing to rename/delete SDNXLFonts.dll.

Has no game text unless delete SDNXLFonts.dll in game catalog. If did this then has no interface text (buttons, etc.) but has game text.
Played with Proton 5.0-10/4.10-13 and PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%

Has no game text unless rename (delete) SDNXLFonts.dll in game catalog. But if do this - has no interface text (buttons, etc)
Played with Proton 5.0-10 (4.11-13) and PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%

Not worked
I tried a lot of what I could find. Not with D3D, not with D3D11, not without the fonts dll, or the dll installed, or some specific version of proton. Just doesn't launch usually - latest proton+no options I got it to launch to a black screen and no sound.
Had to alt-tab out and in again for the game to get focus
You have to rename or delete the file SDNXLFonts.dll in the games installation folder for text to appear in the game.

Sword cursor leaves trails all over the screen
Used PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% and renamed the fonts file.
The game loads, but the cursor leaves trails everywhere. Could not start the tutorial.
Delete SDNXLFonts.dll to get text in game
"PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 %command%" to launch: without it the game crashes
The font problem (most of the text not visible in the game ) can you fix by renaming SDNXLFonts.dll in /home/USER/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/FE Legendary Heroes/ (or delete it) and it will show some not antialiased fonts. The game is playable and works fine.
Crash on Start


Game starts after applying "PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 %command%". Unfortunately, the Fonts are broken, so no text messages. But the performance is otherwise quite good.


Game loaded and was playable for over an hour before crashing on turn generation. I had auto-save on every turn, so reloaded and it crashed every time I ended that turn. I did try enabling the esync and D3D options listed here and it still crashed. These options were only used for testing if I could get past this crash and enabling them caused most text to not show. Custom character portrait only showed as a silhouette. I was also able to play through the tutorial and create a custom character.

The only problem i have found is that the portraits of the characters when choosing one of them can not be seen. the rest runs perfectly

Crashes on launch

Needs D3d11 to even load, most text invisible, graphics messed up. Basically unplayable in current state.


Launches with WINED3D11 option, but most fonts are invisible.


Have to set PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 %command% launch options to get it to work. Even then the text in the game is hit or miss if it will show up or not. Especially in menus.



Crashes steam client and game on start



Launches to title screen then crashes
