Multiplayer issues aside, the game runs very well after applying the launch parameters. There are minor graphical bugs.

2 months ago

Tinker Steps:Switch to experimental, Set launch options, protontricks

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="msvcp70,msvcr70=n" %command%

Enable DirectPlay through protontricks. Required for multiplayer.

Graphics:Other

3D model textures occasionally darken significantly after minimizing the game. Annoying, but not game breaking.

Performance:Slight Performance Problems

Loading the stock animal list in the army builder was agonizingly slow, as was loading into a match. This was fixed via the indicated launch parameter.

► Multiplayer

Overall (online):Didn't Work

Attempting to host a lobby via IC Online consistently causes a crash. Joining a game appears to work, although an error I cannot confidently attribute to Proton occurred while loading into the match. I was not able to play. I have not tried LAN or Internet TCP as of yet.

In my case, the launch parameters are essential. The load time issues are severe and detract greatly from the main draw of the game, i.e. unit customization. The problem worsens when using mods that add more stock animals.

My experience after tinkering has been very good. I am an active mod developer and do not feel my workflow has suffered from running the game and its tools on Linux.
