repentance/repentance+ does not boot natively, use latest stable proton version (9.0-4)
if you have the repentance DLC you NEED to enable proton usage since it is not linux supported
The game works well out of the box with the native version; the compatibility method works just as well.
Since REP / REP+ will not be coming to native Linux, you need to enable compatibility in settings.
If you have an older Nvidia GPU (non-RTX), you will most likely need the proprietary drivers, otherwise the game will crash every so often.
Any Linux beginner would love to play the Rebirth version straight from steam, the usage of Proton is easy too so REP/REP+ is no issue too.
Proton 9.0-4
(proton 9.0 uses protonfixes implicitly)
If you play AB or AB+ you won't have any problems :0 (tho I haven't tested everything-) Also, the game has a small chance of crashing when you disable (or enable) all your mods, and about the console issue... I think it depends on which distro you use. Other than that, there are no problems. The game runs perfectly and there are no FPS drops c:
Repentance and Repentance+ don't have a native linux port yet, so you have to use proton to play them, makes no difference performance wise. I'm using proton ge because of personal preference, works fine with regular proton too. Best Game ever
Works great on the Steam Deck. A few energy saving tweaks and you can get a lot of gaming out it.
Capped to 60 FPS. I was able to get the TDP down 4 before noticing any drop in frames.
Note: the game's speed is tied to the frame rate, so dropping down the 30 FPS will half the games overall performance and speed.
Just be careful with the amount of mods added to the game, this can increase power draw and harm the game's performance. Adding a few shouldn't be an issue though.
Switch to Proton if you own the Repentance or Repentance+ DLCs, the game won't boot otherwise. Runs good no prob that way!
Switch to Proton
The native version does not launch on my machine. I had to force Proton 9.0.4. It could that other versions of Proton work; haven't tried.
Switch to proton
Apparently you need it for Repentance+?
Repentance works great with proton
Unfortunatly the repentence (and repentence+) DLC is not native to linux like the rest of the DLCs, but it runs perfectly out of the box with proton.
If all you want to play is base game with Afterbirth and Afterbirth+, the game can be run without using any Proton configuration;
But if you want to play Repentance and Repentance+, you'll first have to enable the "Enable Steam Play for all other titles" for the DLC to even show up on the DLC list, then you have to enable the "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool" and set it to "Proton Experimental" to even launch Repentance and Repentance+ otherwise it will launch without Repentance and Repentance+.
If you can configure all of it then, the game can run pretty smoothly without any issue from my experience.
Works well
Works perfectly as expected, no tinkering needed
No issues at all for me, everything with KB&M has worked flawlessly.
if you have repentance+, in my experience, forcing proton 9.0 is required to play the game. without proton, the gam won't launch. I also tried proton experimental and it launched but the controller mapping was very strange, switching to proton 9.0 fixed it
Extremely weird to offer a native build that doesnt work with DLCs, I feel like there are a lot of coonfused Steam Deck users thanks to it. If you switch to Proton Experimental DLC (Including Repentance+ Online Co-Op) work perfectly.
Native game did not launch, however, switching to the latest experimental Proton works.
Game launches and seems to run fine (even multiplayer).

V-sync needs to be enabled in the prefix's option.ini in documents/my games or tearing occurs. Proton 9.0 will break performance on x11 with stuttering.
Controller input will double and break bindings if Proton GE is used.
Didn't try in Proton 8 online yet, but before Proton 9 broke, it was flawless.
It just werks... for now... until it breaks again
Refresh rate to 60hz, lowered TDP and GPU clock
Just don't use native, Proton GE bugs the game badly, using proton 9.0 the game runs fine
occasionally glitches and needs to be windowed-fullscreened again
Controller bumpers do not work, layout is messed up, occasionally detects the same controlle's inputs as different controllers
can't run at 60fps
Not even discussing the fucked up state the Native version is. Never had so many difficulties in a single game ever, i can't even fathom how stupid some of the bugs are, buttons either are mapped wrong or straight up not work (both native and steam input), significant frame drops and can't keep stable frame rate, glitches even vary by switch from Proton to Proton-GE. It's weird because on steam deck the game works "fine" (if you use default proton 9.0-4, Proton GE bugs again)
启动游戏时加载缓慢，尤其是订阅了创意工坊内容时。无其他问题
Native does not work. Needs proton
When you break the game by having too many tear items It starts degrading preformance slightly earlier than on windows and with slightly lower fps, tested with the same run on both Bazzite OS and Windows
Performance degradation shows earlier on multiplayer slowing down game speed for everyone
Just select proton experimental or the latest GE proton and the game works with no issue, no more tinkering required.
Played with Afterbirth Plus and Repeatance DLCs. Could not launch natively at all (stops just after launch with no windows or other feedback). Runs perfect on Proton Experimental
Could not get it to work when the game was installed on a Windows NTFS ssd, had to install it on my linux ssd.
Cannot for life get the DLC to work (FlatPak and native Steam)
Getting the DLC to run with this game is a massive headache, as those are not natively supported. It appears that the developers are those kind people who just like to do things "their way" (Spawning a technical trainwreck, adding a psychotic amount of if-statements to make it just barely run on console and dropping support for everything else because it gets basically impossible to maintain). Also the GOG Versions are not being updated. Conclusion: Apply the Yarr (Customer Protection Rights) as soon as you find a somewhat stable version and cling to it dearly. / Look into obtaining a DRM Free Copy, such as the GOG Version ;)
Controller either doesn't get recognized or completely mapped wrongly and cannot be changed through input settings (both ingame and through the config file)
Had weird frame pacing until turning off VSync in the options.ini
Native Linux/Mac ports don't have the latest DLCs
