In Nicholls Prison some textures on windows flicker frequently. Does not affect gameplay
Very enjoyable experience on Nobara. Just make sure to use VKBasalt with CAS 0.7-1.0 as the game feels blurry (even the in-game text)

there was some glitches, but disappered immediately after resolution change and never appears again
there's no stutters, better than windows, I have ~140 fps dlss or fsr ultra performance at 2560x1600 resolution, it's quite playable

Worked right out of the box.

Needs DLSS to be runnable but runs fine otherwise
During gameplay, rarely you will get minor light issues, where there's shiny orbs in the sky in the direction of godrays. Very minor and rare so it isn't an issue really.
Recently they fixed the issue with major flickering light issues when post processing was on, but keep an eye out for that.
About 30% performance loss compared to windows. Runs at 60fps with 1440p and DLSS off, while it should be over 80fps on windows.
Ran perfectly out of the box

Setting post processing quality to low fixes artifacting

Так гра йде досить непогано, спочатку воно в мене не робила, але здається не вистачало якогось пакету.
Встановив Bleeding Edge у Proton Experimental
Іноді після згортання гри, курсор виходить за межі гри на другий екран, але це досить швидко фікситься.

Corrupted data error after a black screen w\ cursor
Unfortunately game is not running for me. After fresh install and many re-installs saying that data is corrupted. Used experimental proton w\ and w\o bleeding edge, hotfix proton

Определенно надо выключать суперразрешение и использовать Proton Hotfix
При ипользовании DLSS или FSR в режимах "Balanced", "Performance", "Ultra Performace", появлялись постоянные артефакты в виде разноцветных точек или разноцветных свечений, при выключении суперразрешения или при использовании режима "Quality" артефакты пропадили или были незначительными. Рекомендую вовсе отключать суперразрешение

Due to the missing models its basically unplayable even though it does run.
Some weapons only have partial models, eventually even some in-world textures vanished

Heavy artifacts, fixed by setting Post processing quality to Low in game settings
Game runs great, did not require any launch options, took longer on first launch, every other time was fast. Heavy artifacts if using Post Processing quality to anything other than Low in game settings. Gamma also works. Set proton experimental to Bleeding edge.

in compatibility mode, everything works out of the box
with post-processing, all light sources do not correctly display colors and brightness (if you do not look at the ground, then it is impossible to play) This happens on medium and higt, on other options it does not appear
in kde, the "qwerty" input did not work with keyboard layouts, it was solved simply by adding EN(USA) as the first keyboard layout
the anti-cheat is launched and launched into the game, the gamma works, the FPS is higher than on Windows, the frame time is more stable.

Runs perfectly and Steam is enough, but you do need to set up a few things, specially if you have an Nvidia GPU
VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json %command%
As a couple of users mentioned, you may need to add " VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json %command% " (without quotation marks) in your launch options field if you have an Nvidia gpu. Aside from that, select Proton Experimental, you may also need to select the bleeding edge beta for Proton Experimental.
When I got into a game I was unable to use my mouse properly, to fix this I went to the graphics tab in-game and changed the selected monitor, seems the game was taking the mouse input from the wrong monitor which made my mouse always force one direction.
Issue: All servers would show "0ms ping" and online play was not working.
The issue can be fixed by updating the system's ping group range with the following command:
sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.ping_group_range="0 2147483647"

It runs flawlessly with Proton experimental bleeding-edge. Even runs faster than it runs on windows 10.
Sometimes game freezes about 10 seconds but never happens in the same session again.
Only thing that doesnt work is the ingame gamma setting.

none
The Gamma Slider finally works since update 2.4 today. No tinkering with color profiles on wayland needed anymore.

This tool will let you change the gamma easily for you're monitor and it's easy to understand. I was cursed to X11 before. Now I have wayland. If on GNOME, it should work.

Runs really well - if not better than on Windows. Some tweaks need to be done to make it work.
Necessary to make system-wide changes - game does not connect properly without these.
In-game gamma setting is not working.
After some time spent in spectate (spectating teammates while dead), FPS drop significantly.
Game would kick me out instantly due to EAC Anti-cheat.
Fixed by running sudo sysctl -w net.ipv4.ping_group_range="0 2147483647" and making this command run automatically on system startup as specified in this guide.

Easy Anticheat will regularly fail for unknown reasons, resulting in being unable to join any games. I have not found any reliable fixes or temporary fixes for this.

Does run great, gamma slider broken

Can't play, anti-cheat kick me everytime when I am trying to start match. Tried many Proton versions, bleeding-edge too, nothing works..

What a great example to follow for Hunt on Linux!
Great stability and performance for Hunt Showdown in the last months almost year. A very remarkable game since it came out in February last year.
For me this game should not be marked as Gold but Platinum.

Great to have a multiplayer not auto banned!
Works great (or as great as one can expect from Hunt)

HDR worked with gamescope but it was a littlebit unstable, need to wait for wayland ;)

Works well with minor issue with brightness settings and frame cap
The uncapped framerate option did not seem to work, even with V-Sync disabled. Always capped at 60FPS. Enabling V-Sync caps framerate at monitor refresh rate, which is good enough. This is needed to get frame cap higher than 200FPS.
In-game brightness slider does nothing, even when switching between borderless, fullscreen windowed, and fullscreen. Workaround for me was to adjust monitor gamma and brightness manually when playing. Not ideal, but it works. Scenes are incredibly dark otherwise.

Even without right gamma (huge handicap) the game is enjoyable and i still get called a cheater in steam profile comments.
Gamma slider in settings is broken, cant fix it ingame. You can only switch to x11 and setup script to have gamma changed when game is focused.
Game runs great and the only issiue there is, the gamma slider being broken is kinda significant issiue for competetive game.

Worked great until 2 days ago when it would launch to a black screen with mouse pointer visible. Was able to get it working with launch options recommended below by @Titan.

EAC 0x4000a
Can't join any match, I get kicked out due to EAC error. Tried all proton version, nothing seems to work. Not sure if there's any tinkering I could've done.

Error 0x4000a
Can't play due to anti-cheat. Tried all versions of proton with no luck.

gamma adjustments do not work, HDR does not work
Noticeably better performance in linux than windows, smoother, 10-15% higher peak framerate. Can't adjust gamma in game or use HDR, but gamma can be adjusted system-wide and work in game. For me, is a clearly better experience than in Windows (although Windows runs fine also).

VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json %command%
Game would almost always launch as a black screen with a titlebar, and wouldn't load at all. Not sure as to why it would sometimes work, but pointing it directly to my vulkan nvidia ICD file with the launch options fixed the issue and it launches perfectly now.

Does change to borderless or fullscreen on its own sometimes (very seldom) when tabbing, but that i had on windows too

I changed up the directional pad to a few different commands
I had to launch it in desktop mode first before even opening it up in gaming mode
I had to down the graphics and I haven't tried tinkering with them since.
It might just be my internet but the game never wants to connect to a server.
I have most of my settings set to low except for my fps I have that at 200fps but I use the steam decks settings to keep it set at 30fps. Game runs well just make sure to run it through desktop first (idk why but it works for me)

Everything Works
Except all server choice is 0ms, which is you cannot play solo queue, unless have atleast one teammate in order to play the game

requests focus constantly during loading
The game (NOT steam) often randomly needs to read THE ENTIRE GAME FILES on launch (~80gb) and continues ingame! installing on an SSD is unfortunately mandatory. Major updates require deletion of /steamapps/compatdata/594650 and /steamapps/common/Hunt Showdown 1896/users/Shaders. Fullscreen sometimes breaks the menu (choose full windowed)
Otherwise, better frametimes on linux make the game feel much smoother than Windows

Does not connect to Hunt servers by default, launching with Proton Experimental fixes this
After playing for 900 hours on windows 10/11 and having many performance issues over the years, I was surprised to find that Hunt ran very well out of the box on Linux. However, it did not connect to any servers by default (ping for all regions showed as 0ms). Only tinker needed was using Proton Experimental, which resolved this issue.

After changing post-processing to very high, everything works perfectly. Surprisingly stable! Using experiemental, but haven't tried others.
Heavy flickering/orbs from sun rays. Setting post-processing to low, very high, or ultra fixes it entirely for me.

__GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1 mangohud game-performance %command%
Since the gamma slider doesn’t work on Wayland, I switched to X11. On X11, I created a simple script to boost gamma before launching the game. I also changed Nvidia Settings > OpenGL Settings to High Performance. In Steam Settings > Downloads, I enabled Shader Pre-Caching and Background Processing of Vulkan Shaders. That’s it! Happy hunting.
