Native Support
Although this game has a Linux-native build available, Steam does not list it as having Linux support. This can happen if a game has an unofficial, unfinished, or unsupported build. You may need to force Steam to enable Proton for the game in order to run properly.
Game runs at 90fps out of box. Consumes around 7-9 watts. Runs at native 1200x800 resolution on best quality. GUI scales nicely and is readable.

No tinkering necessary as the game ran natively

I just reduced the refresh rate from 60 to 47, since FPS is really not needed in this game. Battery life even before this was very good.

turned on proton and it worked
needs proton, when on works great
Game doesn't run unless you force the use of proton.
Doesn't launch with native version but works with Proton as expected
Everything works out of the box
Using Proton 6.3-8. Everything works.

Don't bother with native version, it won't start at all. Proton works great :)

Can't get past the menu screen on Proton 6.3-6
Native Linux version:
- Doesn't launch, deeper inspection shows Mono can't allocate enough memory
- If you've previously played on Windows, Steam fails to synchronise cloud saves. This is because the game's Linux installation puts a file at the location
~/.config/unity3d/SomaSim/Project Highrise/prefs
. On the Windows installation, this is actually a folder
Proton versions:
- Proton 6.3-6 Menu works great, game crashes when load a save file or start a new game. Audio seems to glitch intermittently
- Proton 5.13-6 game does not start
- Proton 5.0-10 game does not start
- Proton 4.11-13 game does not start
Adding "PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%" or "PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 %command%" or "unset LC_ALL && %command%" to startup options made no difference.
MAke sure you use Proton 5.0.9 from SteamPlay Otherwise youll expect game options to not survive across game exit/start
project highrise on Linux but not natively you need to force it to run with proton

not running but installing proton 5
i can install but it wont run even if i force steam play to run with it.




cannot use workshop with native version. steamplay works fine with WINED3D11

Doesn't lunch without proton, lunch with proton but it's just a black screen.
