Worked great Maybe had one freeze when the intial area was loaded, but shutting down and restarting it seemed to work
Some tutorial video animations didn't work
It crashed on Snap Steam, but running it through Apt Steam was perfect!
Works out of the box
I had NVIDIA on-demand turned on and it didn't run smooth. With NVIDIA performance mode everythings fine.
Played for like 4 hours straight no issues.
Crashes
The game crashes - often early in a loading screen or after some minutes ingame.
Increased ui scale
Save transferred via steam cloud but showed as having 0 progress
(DEMO version) Works fine OOTB
(possibly not linux/proton related) I checked the system requirements for this game and was curious about the recommended 3060 and minimum 1060, which seems awfully high for this game's graphical fidelity, then i found out the game has a free demo, so i tried it. The minimum GPU requirement seems slightly exaggerated, with a 1050ti at ~720p on the medium preset i was getting 60fps with at the bare minimum 50% gpu usage remaining, which we could say is a bare minumum 120fps when only accounting for the GPU stress, which is plenty of spare performance for more decent resolutions like 1080p or even 1440p.
There seems to be some sort of cpu bottleneck, or a pretty big overhead/inefficiency, as when i tested with uncapped fps it was barely doing above 60fps, with a lot of gpu performance to spare, and my cpu does fit on the recommended requirements, my gpu doesn't, but i don't think it would cause this kind of issue, i don't know if it's on the game's end or is inefficiency from the translation layers, on average both my gpu and cpu were at 50-60% usage, which could indicate a cpu bottleneck, but seems unlikely to me considering it fits the recommended requirements, although idk if the requirements specify a 6c/6t cpu or a 6c/12t cpu like a ryzen 5. If i knew for sure it was a wine/dxvk inefficiency i'd use the protondb "slight performance issue" tag to say all that, but since i can't be sure i'll just leave it here in case it's not a translation layer thing and wouldn't drag the game's protondb score down for no reason.
I also tested higher resolution via gamescope downscaling, and at 1080p i had higher gpu usage, same fps and similar cpu usage, and still couldn't get it to use 100% of the cpu without using the really gpu-intensive which my 1050ti can't handle high preset.
With the high preset, something really brings the GPU to it's knees and makes it fall below 40 fps, so maybe dont bother with the high preset if your gpu is not that much better than a 1050ti, perhaps this is the reason for the recommended rtx3060. still tho, the min. required gpu could be quite a bit lower than a 1060. The recommended 16gb of ram also seems exaggerated but that's not as important, and im assuming the ram usage is higher on the full game than it is on the "free sample" demo. the GPU usage might also be higher on the full game, but probably not significantly higher.
I tested proton GE9-27, experimental and 9.0-4. The latter performed slightly worse, which makes sense.
Very fun, works flawlessly
Had no issues playing, both proton hotfix and experimental work great.

If you use any mode other than the exclusive full-screen mode, the game becomes very unstable and freezes frequently. Especially if you leave the window and interact with something else, the game will freeze as soon as you open an in-game menu.
Using exclusive fullscreen prevents most random freezes, but you still can't leave the window or open the Steam overlay, otherwise the game will instantly freeze.
I recommend an autosave mod so it doesn't get too frustrating.
If you move too fast on the skateboard, the game will start to stutter due to the changing LOD of objects in the distance.
No tinkering needed. Game runs perfectly compared to Windows 10 on same Device
Enabled ProtonExperimental (as of 4/2025) and had no issues. I did not attempt to play it without Proton, did not try multiplayer. Singleplayer runs perfectly.
Averaged 80 FPS on high settings, would normally be close to 120-140 on Windows
Runs well at a stable 80 FPS and no stuttering
Game ran perfectly upon install, no tinkering required.
Game won't launch. Only get a small screen with the game symbol and a red "!". Can't find any error logs.
LD_PRELOAD=”” gamemoderun %command%
Why won't it launch?
the game runs totally fine there is no problem that could significantly alter the experience.
setting the resolution in the game settings does'nt work.
gamemoderun %command%
Game stutters if V-Sync is enabled but works perfectly otherwise
Some pink shading artifacts on the edges of some of the west end houses but that's it.
Max framerate setting doesn't save.
Plays well out of the box
Crashes to desktop after playing for a 2-3 hours.
Works OOTB

Works fine out of the box
the jitter issues are resolved by steam parameters as mentioned. Otherwise game smooth with some 10-20 fps loss vs windows
LD_PRELOAD=”” WINEDLLOVERRIDES="version=n,b" gamemoderun %command%
jitter when using mixing, packing, pots etc
some sync issues where phantom deals don't show up anywhere but expire
even with the easily fixed jitter, game very enjoyable and addictive :-)
Don't do drugs ! It's not as funny as this really funny game, you'll enjoy playing it on a Free OS don't worry.
I had a few crash at first, I was hosting the game and during the prologue my mates were disconnected saying host quit. We restarted the game I hosted again and was fine for a couple minutes until my game crashed (disconnecting everyone), the it has been flawless for 2 hours. Not sure if Linux and Proton is the issue here.
LD_PRELOAD=”” gamemoderun %command%
On the lowest settings with V sync i had around 50 fps
It seems like its not correctly connecting with steam. I cant invite other people and they can invite me, but it doesnt do anything (started after 30h). It was working fine before that.
gamemoderun %command% -useallavailablecores
I haven't encountered any issues - both in short and logs play sessions.
Works fine
No tinkering needed to play, works perfectly. No crashes, no graphical issues, it just runs as it should.
