Mesa stuttering fix: add the launch option i posted just above
after mesa update to v25.0.5 the game no longer starts after working pretty decent for almost 480h of gametime.
SDL_AUDIODRIVER=pipewire mangohud %command%
Game starts with PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% but with super poor performance.
Sometimes I have slight stutters or crackling. But this only happens sometimes and then like once every 15 minutes or so.
Sometimes text is a bit kinda blurry. Not really annyoing but it happens from time to time
Sometimes Input is laggy or the camera would drift in one direction. This only happens when the game is running for quite a while and then for only a minute or so. In total it's relatively rare
Works straight out of the box
No tinkering needed and no framedrops. Works just like with windows
Works perfectly out of the box
I set my settings to win10. I didn't see any of the reported framerate issues.
Lower performance but still playable if you don't mind it being slower. Might take longer to build things even with time acceleration
about 15 to 20 fps, down from 60-144 on windows
Right click is wonky. Holding it does not work for panning the map.
Re-launching the game fixes the stuttering, but is quite annoying. Haven't found a better fix yet.
Just worked out of the box. Proton Experimental + v1.0.0.20 - work fine in win10 64-bit mode.
scale font to 144 dots
DXVK_CONFIG="d3d11.cachedDynamicResources = a" %command%
DXVK_CONFIG="d3d11.cachedDynamicResources = a" %command% might be needed with DX11 games when using eGPU (both AMD and NVidia). In my case performance without it was 5-10FPS, with it 150FPS. Same savegame. You can notice the different already when you go to load game menu, it already started lagging there.
Worked just fine out of the box, even the first configuration menu now worked fine
I installed the game through Steam just like I would have done on Windows and launched it with compatibility mode set to Proton Experimental. Everything worked A1 as if it was natively supported. I am amazed myself.
Initially had big problems with the sound, however the most recent updates to the game seem to have resolved this issue.
I don't own this game on Steam, I own it on GoG.
Playing in Win7 mode only.
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xaudio2_7=n,b" PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 %command% 2> ~/problems
Following some tips scattered over the internet, I was able to run it and play for a while.
With the latest game update, I now have working sounds on the Win10 version as well.
I occasionally have crashes, could easily be an issue with the game itself, not with Proton.
Crashed once during 11 hours of playing, unsure if it's a Proton thing.
did not experience performance issues others are reporting, using windows 10 launch option
New stuttering problem
Is initally smooth but then suffers from heavy stuttering after playing for some time
Tested on Win7 version of the game only.
Only runs in Win7 mode
It's a bit quieter than in Windows, audio not as high.
Works pretty well overrall
Selected Windows 7 mode in launcher
only in Windows 10 mode; works fine in Windows 7 mode
very rare, but reproducible crashes; most likely not caused by running under Linux
Only in win 10 mode. Win 7 mode audio works perfect
Some issues I've previously reported are now fixed, such as frequent crashing. Game is overall very stable but the audio problem in the DX12 version is very bad. Good thing there's a DX11 version that works fine.
Audio problems occur on the win 10 version of the game, but there are no audio issues on the win 7 executable, so always choose win 7
Some issues with mods and crashing that I reported previously seem to have been resolved since my last report. Game is overall very stable and playable on the windows 7 version but the dx12/windows 10 version still suffers from horrible audio distortion.
Only in Windows 8.1/10 mode.
In Windows 8.1/10 mode, sounds works good in new games until some ambient sounds kick in. Ambient sound works good but makes music and interface sounds distorted. You can play in this mode turning the volume of music and interface to the minimum.
In Windows 7 mode works out of the box. I tested this game first on Arch Linux and now in Debian 12 (both with KDE). In both systems, in the firsts executions, I see a little frame drop, but a few days later, works at same frame rate than WIndows. In Windows 8.1/10 mode, this frame rate drop of the first days didn't occur.
All graphic settings are configured at maximum in game launcher and in the graphic options menu inside the game.
eval $(echo "%command%" | sed "s/SETUPAPPLICATION SOVIET\.exe/SOVIET\.exe/")
Only when running the 64-bit executable (win11 mode in launcher).
Requires tinkering. Initially ran with the following command which worked but with bad performance: PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 WINEDLLOVERRIDES="xaudio2_7=n,b" %command%
32-bit version is REQUIRED due to audio issues in 64.
New launch parameters run very well but the game must be launched using first setup initially and then you can swap to the new launch params.
Volume changes randomelly when startingh with win 8/10 option
Random craches when starting with windows 8/10 option
When launching the game with "windows 7" option i haven't experience any issues.
Unfocusing and refocusing quickly window causes camera to turn all straight down when moving camera; Issue is not present if one waits for the game "pause" that occurs when unfocusing to stop.
The launch menu provides Win7 and Win10 support however this appears unneeded on Linux from what I've seen; no differance is observable between these two versions though may be needed if incorrect Windows Version is used in Proton/Wine
eval $(echo "%command%" | sed "s/SETUPAPPLICATION SOVIET\.exe/SOVIET64\.exe/")
After you've run the game once and gone through the initial config, you can avoid it popping up every single time you run the game by copying the launch options above into game properties in Steam.
game runs good
You just need to choose the Windows 7 mode in the menu. After that, the game runs smooth and without any problems.
Works perfectly, even with graphical settings set to "Ultra"
I only tried the "Win7" mode (selected when launching the game).
Not sure what the Win10 mode changes.
PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%
I was gettin te createdxgifactory error, resolved after installing https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/WineDependencies.md and https://archlinux.org/packages/multilib/x86_64/lib32-nvidia-utils/
The same here : No issues out of the box if you run in Windows 7 mode.
Works fine, good game
I was getting the "CreateDXGIFctory: FAILED" error. Installing the package lib32-nvidia-utils along with wine dependencies listed in https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/WineDependencies.md solved it for me.
If you launch into the Windows 8/10 version of the game the audio is completely broken, it is best to launch the game in Windows 7 mode on the launcher until audio is fixed.
