A cutscene that plays when quitting the game displays a test pattern. The intro cutscene and game itself are fine.

Other than the exit cutscene not playing correctly, I'm sorry to report that Bad Rats is fully playable.

Only works on older Proton. Low and inconsistent FPS which might affect the physics slightly (example solutions fail).

Performance:Slight Performance Problems

Unstable framerates between 15-30 FPS in the main menu and first level.

Had to use an older version of Proton, because 5.13-6, 6.3-5 and Expiremental don't work. (The game itself seems to work (audio and input), but the video output consists only of a fullscreen video test pattern.)
