During one week I could not watch any cutscene. I tried to fix with Proton GE, I had the video but not the sound
When leaving the window, the window disappear so I switched to windowed fullscreen

Proton-7.1-GE-2 will have issue w/ the game Launcher, so go to Desktop Mode then under Home > .local > share > Steam > steamapps > common > AoT2.
In this folder, rename Launcher.exe to anything, I just add a y at the end so it reads as Launchery.exe then rename AOT2_EU.exe to Launcher.exe
Proton-7.1-GE-2 will have issue w/ the game Launcher.
Use Proton-7.1-GE-2, ensure to follow the steps provided in order to skip the launcher.
Very special thanks to user: k4rnaj1k. I just elaborated further on how to get this to work, because initially I have zero idea where the Launcher.exe & AOT2_EU.exe files are located.
Additionally, you may want to download & extract the Atelier Sync Fix file from https://github.com/doitsujin/atelier-sync-fix/releases and copy & paste the d3d11.dll file into the same folder where you renamed the Launcher.exe and AOT_EU.exe. It will automatically activate itself, no command line or any special activation required.

Can be enjoyed without tinkering. Shadows must be set to Off otherwise. Everything else can be maxed out. 40 FPS at best.
Using https://github.com/doitsujin/atelier-sync-fix/releases to drastically improve performance. Just drag and drop the dll file to the local directory of the game where the exe is. That's it. No commands required to activate the dll file.
Enabled Controller in the game launcher to avoid using Keyboard and Mouse controls entirely.
No audio problems but I used 5.1 in the game launcher for a better audio experience with headsets on.
dll fix must be applied. Without the dll fix, the Shadows drastically impact performance and still do even after the fix but you gain up to 20 extra frames a second at best from the fix.
With the dll fix you can max out the game entirely except Shadows. Shadows on Low provides 40+FPS hitting 40 most of the time , Shadows on Off provides 50+FPS hitting 60 most of the time.

nothing huge or game breaking that ive come across yet. the studdering is kind of intense but after 10 or so minutes it disapears.
when alt tabbed out of fullscreen it would crash
some slight studdering for the first 10 or so minutes
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="D3D11=n,b" DXVK_ASYNC=1 AMD_VULKAN_ICD=RADV %command%
Use touchscreen for launcher
Very playable, just needs some simple tweaks to run well. Without tweaks out of the box it ran at around 26fps, with tweaks it runs at a near solid 60
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3d11=n,b" DXVK_ASYNC=1 AMD_VULKAN_ICD=RADV %command%
Disabled the shadows and getting 60 fps with dips from time to time.
The launcher does not work with the proton-7.1-GE. To make the game launch - rename "Launcher.exe"
in the game's folder to something else, and "AOT2_EU.exe"
to "Launcer.exe"
Audio in prerendered cutscenes only works with Proton-7.1-GE-2
By default, the shadows are on and the game runs with 20-30 fps. Also - https://github.com/doitsujin/atelier-sync-fix/tree/main should be installed(Just get d3d11.dll from the releases page and paste it into the game's folder. Then use the provided launch command to make proton use it.)
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="D3D11=n,b" DXVK_ASYNC=1 AMD_VULKAN_ICD=RADV %command%
Game's launcher is not compatible with proton-7.1-GE-2. To make the game run without the launcher - rename "Launcher.exe" to something else in the game's folder and "AOT_EU.exe" to "Launcher.exe".
Prerendered cutscenes don't have any sound with newer proton versions, so stick to 7.1-GE-2.
Default performance is really bad. 20-30 fps on high settings.
Disable the shadows in game, set the proton to 7.1-GE-2 to fix the cutscenes, use https://github.com/doitsujin/atelier-sync-fix/releases/tag/v0.5 to improve performance.(just paste "d3d11.dll" into the game's folder and set the launch options)
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3d11=n,b" %command%
Download atelier-sync-fix and put d3d11.dll in your game's .exe folder, then put WINEDLLOVERRIDES="d3d11=n,b" %command% in your game's launch options under properties to activate the fix. This fix allegedly works for other Koei Tecmo games as well. Special thanks to [MM] WMan22.
Enjoy the 60FPS!
This game always runs bad above low settings (even on windows)
The game used to not play cinematics but now it is as if I was playing it on a PS4 (Except for needing to lower settings but that is just an Nvidia Card on a horrible PC Port, still better than the Xbox One)
The input lag is a lot less oppressive now than it used to be, but it is still there at certain points. Overall though, the game runs fine.
Music tracks during cutscenes works fine, but vocals are missing.
Strangely, the only inputs that are laggy are the first ones after a conversation or opening the menu then there are no problems.
Game froze during a cutscene after a few hours of playing and had to kill it.
Outside of the odd crash, vocals missing during cutscenes, and input lag during the first few seconds after dialog or menu openings the game now runs perfectly.
The mouse input lag and the fairly common menu crashes bring the game down. Although the cutscenes seem to generally work with the latest GE
It takes the inputs a moment to recognize, but works fine past that.
Seems to be a pretty repeatable crash to go through the options in the menu during gameplay for me.
8-10 FPS in starting town area
Likely could be fixed with some extensive tinkering, but awful compared to Windows performance.
Once you're using GloriousEggRoll and lower the graphic settings it should run okay. It won't be the same as Windows but good enough ^^
Launcher only works with mouse, but it's not that much of a hassle using the Touch Screen
With Deck's HW it should go faster. Set graphic settings to low and you'll get 20-30 fps at max resolution (next I'll try lowerng resolution)
Official Proton can't play videos. Use GloriousEggRoll one
You can finish missions if you can bare with the mouse lag and input latency, better play it on Windows if you can't handle the lag on it
gamemoderun %command%
Heavy mouse lag
It works fine but the mouse lag really ruins the experience for me since you have to be quick with aiming
gamemoderun %command%
Without gamemode the game would run very slow
With Proton Experimental the game wouldn't run, you need GE-Proton to play the game
(Steam Deck) if you can look past the cutscenes not working its still enjoyable
prerendered cutscenes dont play, main menu background fails to load, the settings menu when launched from the main menu crashes. Locking onto titans occasionally bugs out making it impossible to attack them forcing a restart.
Proton-6.21-GE-2
The game saved doesn't load correctly on Steam Cloud. Don't know if Proton has something to do here.
I can play on Windows on 60fps. On Proton, it's 30fps.
Games from Koei Tecmo are not the best ports of Pc after all.
Start button did not show on initial menu

Althrough the game is a bit slower then on Windows, you can play it without significant problems
Proton-6.5-GE-2 GloriousEggroll
Audio in cutscenes are crackling from time to time

Initial Configure Menu Exists, The Launch Button Does Not
Tried with 5.0-10 and 5.13-6 as well as a few previous versions of those protons. The initial configuration menu will pop up and be interact-able. However there is no "Launch" button on the bottom right of that window as it should be, nor is it simply invisible as clicking in that area still does nothing.

~20-30% slower performance across all settings. Heavy input lag in the beginning, which gets "almost controllable" over time.

Instalacion sencilla, persona que desee configurarlo puede escribirme al correo j-c-rjonatan@outlook.com
descargar los dos DLL mscoree.dll y streamci.dll copiarlos a la carpeta /home/TUUSUARIO/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/compatdata/601050/pfx/drive_c/windows/system32, inmediatamente utilizar WINEPREFIX en la instalacion del juego osea en /home/TUUSUARIO/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/compatdata/601050/pfx/ ahi activar el siguiente codigo winetricks d3dx9 glsl-enable gdiplus xact desactivar tambien en el launcher del juego la funcion de Video Playback en off

El mouse es un problema no gira adecuadamente pero si se puede jugar con normalidad


Launched with a black screen for a couple of seconds, before crashing.
