If an average steamdeck owner were able to run the game without the hassle of winetricks, it would be a A+ game for $5
Start game with proton 9-5 first, then follow up with installing following DLLs with winetricks; dotnet40 & xna40. then run game again after patiently installing all the DLLs.
Slight Background audio stutter, but minor and you forget it quickly
Importing ship templates off of steam store was broken completely.
Played MP with a friend with him on windows. If he hosted MP, it would crash pretty consistantly, just how the game is tbh, but if i hosted, it worked pretty good.
Going for all acheivements, so yeah, its stable and almost bug free.
Didn't work with Proton 8.0-5, tried experimental and GE-Proton8-25, game crashes on startup every time

Launched the game once (failed: didn't open). Ran the below command in terminal (as recommended) and installed runtimes:
WINEPREFIX=%pathToSteamLibrary%/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/258010/pfx winetricks xna40 dotnet40 gdiplus
Game runs smoothly, but audio is a bit crackly and choppy.
If you can tolerate the janky audio, the game is still enjoyable to play

Used winetricks to install xna40 like mentioned below. The wrinkle for me was if I installed it before running the game once it hung on install script. So what I did was
- Install 2. Run the game it goes through first time run scripts and then does nothing. 3. Quit 4. Do "WINEPREFIX=/steamapps/compatdata/258010/pfx wintricks xna40"
After this it runs fine

Fail
Protontricks did not work, game does not open
WINEPREFIX=/path/to/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/258010/pfx winetricks xna40
Music crackles slightly, usually not noticeable in-game.
Sometimes ships went invisible after loading, fixed by restarting the game
protontricks 258010 xna40

protontricks 258010 xna40

Worked fine (including sound) after installing xna40 and dotnet40 via protontricks. No additional system package or gdiplus was actually required.

Installing xna40 and dotnet40 using protontricks worked to get the game window visible and playable (but without sound). Did not have the patience to install packages to add sound.


Tried what the other guy did.. WINEPREFIX=%pathToSteamLibrary%/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/258010/pfx winetricks xna40 dotnet40 Game still fails to start.



some extra packages needed to install to WINEPREFIX via winetricks:
WINEPREFIX=%pathToSteamLibrary%/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/258010/pfx winetricks xna40 dotnet40 gdiplus
had to install 32bit GStreamer Multimedia Framework libraries (on arch: lib32-gst-plugins-base-libs)
After that it worked great with full controller functionality (xbox-one-s).



Does not work.



Doesn't even start.
