ProtonDB | Game Details for The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom

Tinker Steps:Switch to older version: 3.7-6

Graphics:Minor Artifacts

Some of the text would have weird spacing or squishing, but nothing to make the game unplayable

Other than making the adjustment on the Proton version, it just works. Just use 3.7-8 like everyone else and it plays!

Works great---but only if I force ignore NVIDIA and use Intel UHD TGL GT1 instead

Tried many Proton versions, including 3.16 branch, 8.0 branch, hotfix, and experimental; tried forcing desktop to 1024x768 before launch (with 3.7-8); all have the same result

On the Steam Deck, I found it necessary to change the output resoultion in the game properties to something like 1024x768, otherwise it would fail to launch.

Crackling audio; game runs fine otherwise

The game does not launch with newer versions of Proton.

Proton 3.7-8 seems to work fine.

I have tried all versions of Proton, including the latest version of GloriousEggroll and I could not get the game to work whatsoever. It appears this plagues even Windows users. Best to avoid.

The game works good on video and input, however there is a very serious problem with unnatural crackling sound (not by design).
