Steam version does not work.
Tried diffrent proton versions but non works.
Unexplainable brief moments of frame drops (slowest was in the teens for a few seconds), but usually held rock steady 120 FPS (or more until I turned on vsync) at 4k with a RTX4090.
The logos and stuff on game launch seemed to be all black, but can just escape through them to the main menu. Seemed to be sensitive to being installed on my primary drive. Vsync seemed to help the physics system a little bit, including the shooting minigame, but ultimately it's an engine problem that prevents sneaking over some geometry.
PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%
Game runs well for me, but I needed to adjust refresh rate to 60 Hz in .ini config, otherwise I wouldn't be able to alt+tab out of the game without experiencing graphical glitches (plus the cursor gets stuck in my other display when alt+tabbing, which needs to be fixed by moving it to the game's window while in menu and the cursor is visible). Other than that, I had to add launch option to use Wine D3D in order for the game to work with Steam overlay, because it would just freeze after five seconds ever since new Steam overlay came out.
Load file into notepad \Steam\steamapps\common\risen 2\data\ini\ConfigDefault.xml Change the line FullScreen="false" to “true”.
Game will only run in windowed mode without the preceding steps. Being Disabled, I use my Steam Deck in Desktop mode with a keyboard and mouse all the time. The game was left in a small corner of my uppper left-hand screen until I made the changes.
Works perfectly
Works pretty well.
Opening video (before the menu appears) does not play.
In 34 hours of gameplay, there was one instance of the video freezing which required killing the process and restarting the game.
Game runs good out of the box with Proton Experimental.
This happened after the drm fix with the Steam Client (released on 11/20.)

Use Risen2.exe from GOG
As per others, you need to use the aforementioned DRM free "Risen2.exe" from GOG to get the game working. I used the one provided in the link in one of the reports. Replaces the file in steamapps/common/Risen 2/system
All Launch options: __NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia %command% -PROTON_USE_DXVK=1 %command% PROTON_FORCE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE=1 %command% -mnt=mountlist_packed.ini
Modded exe for 21:9 Monitor Support (HUD scaling and DRM-Free): www.wsgf.org/phpBB3/download/file.php?id=1096
Some tweaks have to be made in the config files (Installfolder/data/ini/ConfigDefault.xml and PrefixAppData/Risen2/Config/ConfigUser.xml). Like resolution in ConfigUser.xml or the Mouse Sensitivity in ConfigDefault.xml

Use Risen2.exe from GOG
Apperently game started to run after changing Proton version to 3.16.9. Once again necessary libraries were downloaded and installed. Before that "could not find mount file" error was appearing every time when I tried to run game
Game runs out of memory without large address aware
Use Risen2.exe from GOG
You need to use the mentioned DRM free "Risen2.exe" from GOG to get the game working. This is sadly using the shit CEG DRM on Steam!!! When using large address aware parameter the game worked perfectly fine on Proton with DXVK (d3d9) on Vulkan.
Requires GOG Risen.exe (rename to Risen2.exe)
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WVjTqhqoOTrNAVMFxOytV-96kJ7_f5PZ Don't launch via steam, it will auto-delete the exe, use lutris or sppfx protontricks 40390 -q corefonts d3dx9 d3dcompiler_43 binkw32 gdiplus physx tahoma
Borked by DRM
Sadly this is another game that is borked by DRM. Please remove DRM, it restricts the game from beeing usable on Proton, even though I payed for this!
This uses CEG DRM, therefore you need either a crack, or just replace the risen2.exe with the DRM-free version from gog.com
Valve should really get rid of CEG
UnknownNot working
UnknownUnknownStill borked. Probably a DRM issue!

Does not start at all.
Doesn't work, only crashes.
Strange that Risen 2 does not run from proton/steam, considering this game has a Gold rating on WineHQ and I see reports elsewhere online that the GOG version is running ok under wine. I might try again later / try importing the gog version via steam and report back on that. For reference: https://www.gamersonlinux.com/forum/threads/risen-2-dark-waters-guide.1717/ (and) https://www.gog.com/forum/risen_series/risen_series_for_linux
