Doesn't work. Tried Proton 4 and Proton 8.
Does not work out of the box.

all texts in the cocpit are very small on the Deck's 7 inch screen.
Sometimes, part of the background audio gets stuck and plays constantly. You can only fix this be restarting the game (which can be quickly done, luckily)
The options screen is unusable during missions (massive artifacts, unreadable) So, you can only configure things before you start a mission.
Saving locally works fine. However saves are not properly copied to the cloud and will not be copied to other machines (if you play on multiple machines) If you start on a new machine, you need to start the game from scratch (or you manually copy the save files over)
I have played through the first chapter without any real issues (to the point when the Azameen family if forced to flee to the Rebellion).
I played with a joystick, external monitor and keyboard because the many commands that are needed are not possible to map to a controller or joystick. I have NOT tested the game with the controller of the Deck (and I do not think it would work great with this game).
The Thrustmaster T16000M joystick works very well with the game (even the roll when you twist the joystick) but you can only map 2/3 of the buttons of the base and the thrust slider is not detected (not needed, you will want to use the thruster setting keys anyways)
Couldn't even play to the end of the first mission without gamebreaking bugs, couldn't play on the monitor of my choice
Could only see my mouse cursor if the game was played on my left-most monitor
About 5 minutes into the first mission, all the controls completely locked up.

but using protontricks is not the working out-of-the-box feeling provided by xwau installation routine under windows
Axes drift with vanila (proton out-of-the-box) aswell.

The game works out of the box on Proton, but in the menu are graphical artifacts with WineD3D. I copied dgVoodoo2 files and set ddraw to native with protontricks GAMEID winecfg, then the game worked much better with this DX7 to DX10 to Vulkan translation based on dgVoodoo2 and DXVK, even the menu worked fine now and the game looked much better.


Everything works, but the settings screen has graphical artifacts. I haven't tried any tweaks yet, however.


Working perfectly out of the box.


Settings during missions doesn't work (works before starting a mission)



Works out of the box. Absolutely no problems. Obviously, the game requires a joystick. The one used here is a classic Logitech Attack 3, working 100%.



Game won't start without controller (I tested with X-Box One S controller) - but it's the same behaviour as under Windows. It seems to work fine, but needs a lot of tweaking to run well (but again, seems like exactly same tweaks are needed under Windows).
