Difficult To Read Text:

Sometimes some damage numbers apperaed on the bottom left of the screen. Not really a problem, maybe this exists on desktop too but this was the only thing that comes close to "difficult to read" for me.

Stable 90 FPS, but sometimes with many opponents and effects, slight FPS drops appear (between 90-60)

Per another recommendation that said it works from command-line start if not Proton, I tried this, and was surprised the game started. I got music, but the intro screen shot all my cpu's to 100%, and couldn't even move the cursor but once every 30 seconds. It launches at least outside Proton, but hardly playable.

Running with GE, it tries to start, but errors and crashes.

Tinker Steps:Custom Proton: GE-Proton8-23-1

Installs:Yes

Going to look at logs, but I can only see on launch a windows-y looking error window pop for a second with a skull on it then crashes shut immediately using GE. Doesn't even launch with normal Proton, but that's fairly normal for me under Arch, but most any UE, Unity, or Godot games tend to work no problem with GE Proton for me, this is a rare exception.
