Runs Excellently

Works OTB, but there is a new non-critical bug after the update
After Webgrave update on 29.07.2025 every time I exit armory the game and Steam freeze completely. After killing the game process via terminal Steam continues to work well. After relaunching the game all changes, made in armory before freeze, are saved.
Tried to use 3 versions of proton: proton-cachyos, proton 9.0.4 and GE-Proton10-10. Also tried to run the game with game-performance command and without
The armory worked without any issues before the update
Other than that new bug where armory freezes the game works well out of the box, no issues or performance problems
Required changing from borderless window mode to fullscreen mode to get more than a single digit framerate.

Had to change from Window borderless to fullscreen to jump from 3 FPS to 160 FPS in menu. Game runs on 120+ on High details
Game playable, but running game through Windows gives more stable performance. I have also changed Proton version but it didnt help

Inconsitent FPS, drops - not present on Windows

Runs out of the box perfectly. I always use gamemoderun. Proton GE gave me stutters... use 9.04
gamemoderun %command%
Everything works well, but be ready to turn down graphics settings to get the same fps as windows. Otherwise absolutely brilliant performance, even after long periods.
No issues with default proton. All DLSS features works as expected.

Performance on windows 10 was slightly better.

Works out of the box
Runs fine despite using a RX 9070 RDNA4 GPU.

Broken on RDNA4 GPUs
As mentioned by another report, currently unable to launch the game since switching to an AMD RDNA4 GPU (RX 9070). I get stuck in the loading screen, tried Proton 7, 8, 9, experimental, hotfix and GE. Changing game configuration does not help. Also reinstalled the game, re-validated game files and completely deleted shader caches.

PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 %command% -disable-gpu-skinning -force-d3d11
The world seems to completely disappear occasionally. I believed this may be due to GPU skinning, which is why i tried -disable-gpu-skinning
, but it doesn't seem to be the case.
Occasional stuttering. Other players have reported high VRAM usage, considering my lack of VRAM this may be related.

Game installs and launches, but gets stuck on loading screen before main menu
Using a RX 9070 XT
The game launches, but freezes on the loading screen. I've tried multiple different proton versions (proton GE, normal proton, proton experimental, older versions of each). I also attempted changing the game config file to make it windowed mode, and disabling some features.
Proton Logs show the following error:
err:virtual:virtual_setup_exception nested exception on signal stack addr 0x7841e46f1a0f stack 0x7feaf010
pid 26970 != 26967, skipping destruction (fork without exec?)

mangohud gamemoderun %command%
Very high VRAM usage compared to Windows
The game instantly crashes on startup, Tried Proton/GE, various versions and startup commands

Occasional full pause of game after about an hour. Need to take focus from the window and then return it to fix.

Works great, perfectly fine.

Unplayable on fresh Mint install
Constant frame drops and heavy intermittent stuttering
mangohud game-performance %command%
~20 fps gain over Windows. Works out of the box.

When I launched the game, it was quite loud as games tend to be, so I alt tabbed to mute the game from my system sounds. Doing this froze the program for a solid 2 minutes. I let it cook to see what would happen and it did eventually unstuck itself. I was then able to access the settings and lower the volume to my preferences.
I have a low amount of time on the game, admittedly, but that time was, other than my issue at startup, flawless. so far.
PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 DXVK_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 %command%
99% of memory utilisation after start of game

random crackling sometimes, not too frequently
Amazing game that works on linux flawlessly. 10/10.
Works out of box.

gamemoderun PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=0 %command%
works good with proton

Game runs much better on Windows native than with Proton, problem does not appear to be graphics related as turning down graphics did not help as much as expected.
It could just be that my hardware is insufficient, but considering it runs fine on my Windows install, I'm guessing Proton plays a significant part.

I've set GE=Proton globally across all of my Steam library. Wouldn't deem it a tinker setup that way. Game's running perfectly. A tiny bit more HUD ghosting on DLSS however compared to my main PC. But the 3080 Ti is doing an awesome job. Game is a joy to play across Steam Deck and this setup to my main PC!

No issues so far, works great with Proton 9.0 without any additional tinkering

45fps.
Occaisional dark text and background which was difficult to read.

I used GE-Proton9-14 as others suggested to avoid the menu problems and didn't bother trying to use Valve's experimental or latest stable version. I ran the game at 4k with DLSS upscaling enabled and set to auto. Everything else was set to ultra. This game seems extremely well optimized and was silky smooth giving me around 160-170 FPS during encounters.

Runs flawlessly on my setup with Proton 9.0.3
Didn't need to tinker, runs > 100 FPS right out of the box. Very stable, no issues found.

gamemoderun mangohud %command%
In the main menu, the game runs at 1-5 FPS. GE Proton fixes this.
Stutters for a second when that red aura mist thing is on screen.
Runs at 120-180 FPS at max settings, DLSS Quality.
Also, to get rid of that disgusting looking sharpening filter whilst using upscaling, disable your upscaler, go into settings, turn off Sharpening, then re-enable your upscaler. For some reason, the game locks you out of that setting when you have upscaling enabled.

Random stutters
