Performance problems with proton after 3.7
Newer versions of proton run the game painfully slowly. 5.0-10 runs like a native app.
- Used Protontricks to fix the "new game" cutscene:
- Deleted the directory containing the game's Wine prefix (
~/.steam/root/steamapps/compatdata/283290). - Launched the game once, just to create a new Wine prefix, and exited immediately (without attempting to start a new game).
- Installed
quartz.dllin the newly created prefix by running a Protontricks command:protontricks 283290 quartz
- Deleted the directory containing the game's Wine prefix (
- Used libstrangle to limit the frame rate and enable vertical sync.
- In the game's launch options:
strangle 60 -v 1 %command%

No available Proton version runs the game perfectly out of the box. With Proton 5.0-10 and older, the game works almost perfectly, the only issue being that an opening cutscene video is skipped when starting a new game. Meanwhile, with Proton 5.13-6 and newer, the cutscene works but in-game performance is inexplicably terrible.
I don't know of a fix for the performance issues in Proton 5.13-6 and up, but the cutscene can be made to work with Proton 5.0-10 by using Protontricks to install quartz.dll in a fresh Wine prefix. Once the cutscene issue is fixed, Proton 5.0-10 runs the game perfectly as far as I can tell.
I also recommend using some third-party software to limit the frame rate and enable vertical sync. The inability to do these things with Nosferatu's built-in options is not really a Linux/Proton problem, though, so this last recommendation applies to those playing on Windows as well.
Works well
Game crash immediately
With Proton version 3.7-8 it works without a single problem. The widescreen fix also works.
It starts but closes almost instantly.

Game itself runs very well. Frame rate didn't drop bellow 620fps (in game menu I get 1300fps).
However, there is one issue: start.exe is responsible for adjusting game settings (like resolution), but it won't start. Luckily, it can be bypassed by manually changing settings in registry.
In my case, game was fully playable without tweaking settings, that's why I putted it in Platinum.
UnknownJust works.
