No problems playing the game. 100 % working.

Only Installer shows NET Framework error, just ignore and continue with installation. First game start hangs, just restart and then it runs fine. I have not experienced any problem.

I did not any tweak. Just install and run. I've arrived to the main menu and I've adjust the resolution to my display. It seems that it works well.

Everything works fine from Campaign to Survival. Game may crash sometimes in Survival but it is a game engine bug and not a Wine bug.

Launch Flags:Disable D3D11

Didn't used to run, but started working fine for me AFTER I upgraded my kernel from 4.14.77 to 4.19.4 and my GPU driver from 3.0 Mesa 18.2.3 to 3.0 Mesa 18.2.5. The Disable D3d11 setting is required for it to run. Performance isn't great, but it is playable with settings and resolution turned all the way down. I don't know if that's because of Proton or my hardware, and I don't typically run Windows on this machine and can't compare.
