You can just enjoy the game by running it without any settings.

Works perfectly
From start to finished, no issues.
FPS sometime changes to 40 when there is more water in scene. Set the shadow resolution to common to enjoy the smooth 60 FPS

40hz/40FPS
For whatever reason the game resets back to the default resolution whenever game is launched and when returning to the title screen, requiring me to manually change the resolution back to what I set it to after loading a saved game.

Opened the settings.ini file in the game folder and changed the RenderRes setting to 1.
If played without any tinkering, the game will look extremely blurry, even at 4K. In order to fix this, you need to change a setting in the game's settings.ini file as mentioned above. Setting supersampling to normal instead of high or ultra can help as well, but that didn't work for me on its own.
There's another minor bug where Adol and sometimes other characters can have a line down the centre of their face. I think it has something to do with the HD texture pack. It's not that noticeable though.
I played for 70 hours and had no crashes or other issues during that time. It is possible to play it without tinkering, but it'll look pretty bad while doing so. I had all graphic settings except supersampling cranked to maximum and the game runs great at 4K.
In order to get the Falcom logo and other movies to play I needed to run "winetricks quartz", and "SteamLinuxRuntime_soldier/run ../Proton\ 7.0/dist/bin/wine64 /tmp/LAVFilters-0.77.2-Installer.exe" to install LAVFilters. I also needed mfplat.dll from the mf-install project in the game folder to prevent a crash on startup.

Game is showing PlayStation buttons, not a big deal.
Black borders, native aspect ratio is supported but will stretch the image slightly.
Can run at 60fps, but found best experienced at 40hz/40fps to maintain longer battery.

The game starts in windowed mode maximized. The game stretches out of display. Solved by unmaximizing the window

Had a lot of trouble getting my gamepad (Logitech F310) working correctly. Button mappings were all wrong, and the triggers didn't work. Eventually got it to work by switching the controller to DInput instead of XInput, and disabling steam's controller configurator.
Had similar issues in the past with an older version of Proton and XBox controller.
Gamepads can be a pain to get working correctly. Otherwise basically flawless, even the videos play out of the box.

other users are having some problems with vanilla proton use the GE proton to avoid all problems and make it plug and play
on gnome fullscren if you press the overview key( the win logo) it turns the game on windowed mode
the game runs at full potential but the custcenes are capped at 60 fps
proton GE bypasses all the problems others users have(atleast for me)
As of the version 5.13 nothing has changed for what do you need to run this game. Runs perfectly by default except the falcom logo and videos which are fixed like in previous versions with winetricks cinepak directshow and install lavfilters with wine, all of these into your game /pfx

To fix video playback, install codecs into pfx: cinepak directshow with winetricks, LAVFilters with wine.
Tested with HQ texture settings. Shadow resolution when set to 'ultra' may greatly impact performance.
Works Great. No issues.
I use gamemode with "gamemoderun %command%" as launch options. (https://github.com/FeralInteractive/gamemode)
To get cinematics to work, I first installed the following through protontricks:
protontricks 579180 cinepak directshow
Then I downloaded LAVFilters 0.74.1 (https://github.com/Nevcairiel/LAVFilters/releases) and installed it through wine with the command below. Change the WINEPREFIX to point to your steam installation, mine is at the default. Also change the path to the installer to where you downloaded it.
WINEPREFIX="/home/oscar/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/579180/pfx" wine /home/oscar/Downloads/LAVFilters-0.74.1-Installer.exe
Then just go through the installer with the default settings. (This command can probably be run with the proton binary instead of wine, but I haven't tried it)
Stuttering when on max settings with the HQ Textures DLC. I had to lower the following:
- Shadow Casters -> Normal
- Shadow Resolution -> High
- Ambient Occlusion -> None
- V Sync -> ON
- Supersampling -> Normal

The videos were not playing. That was solved by installing directshow and cinepak via winetricks into the game prefix, alongside lavfilters via wine. Everything else's perfect
Game starts off without any issues
Installed and loaded the game with the provided drivers in Ubuntu 20.04, and the first hour played exactly the same as Windows. Beginning movie loads, no noticeable graphic/audio issues. Xbox One controller and Keyboard both work. Super smooth.

Played through the true ending without any problems. Keyboard input does not work, but the steam controller works great.
The keyboard input does not work.
On the Intel haswell onboard graphics the frame rate was really low in some places, but it was playable through the end.
Runs perfectly on my system. Not sure if there is movies at the start of the game though. (movies probably wouldn't work)

Wokring perfect out of box. Gamepad fully working and fps is above 60 - around 90-80 all the time.

game starts and runs, but had some issues with controller (Logitech F710). On DirectInput, the right analog stick can't move vertically and sometimes the vibration doesn't stop for a long time. On xInput, the triggers doesn't work.


The controller detection works for directinput-style controllers; xinput did not detect the triggers properly. (I used a MayFlash Magic-NS and set it to dinput mode rather than xinput.)
Once you are in the game, it runs fantastically. The only 'gotcha' is that lighting doesn't work - when you are in a cave, it doesn't get darker. The movies do not work and immediately exit.
If you try to run the game at high resolutions (I use 4k), you may see only the upper left corner of the screen. If you manually walk the options (partly by memory, partly by sight) then you can get the resolution back. You have to do this every time you start the game. It works perfectly fine until you exit out, and have to do it again.


It's probably the game issue.
- Need to press Q in order to trigger dialog box to save display settings.
- Unable to move Adolf regardless of setting the keyboard's wasd, direction keys or numpad.


Game started, and ran, but only ran smoothly in fullscreen (except in cutscenes where it ran at 3 fps) and audio is choppy and borked throughout the bits I played.
