a purely catastrophe. it is NOT WORK Out of the b0x as should be. NOT RUN WELL.
interestingly when the game runs ( 30-40% ), i get better FPS than windows 10 with drivers installed :O

Frequent Crashes

Install the Proton BattlEye Runtime and you should be good to go.
Make sure to use fast Storage, and it will work great
Windowed Fullscreen didnt let me switch to another Application, normal Fullscreen does
When running the Game from my HDD (EXT4 Filesystem), i was never able to join a Game, i was just stuck in a endless cycle of loading screens. I think its because the HDD was too slow loading the Gamefiles, and it was to late for me to join the match, than it send me to another match with the same issue, and that probably happened over and over. I used the move function from Steam to move it to my SSD, and now it works flawlessly.
I dont know whats up with the recent people saying its Borked, thats why i made this review, just to show that it works on my System just fine.

I installed proton battleeye, but it instantly crashes when pressing start mostly likely because of the anti cheat.

install Proton Battleye Runtime
Runs just flawless
Great game! Runs flawless on Linux. Thanks Proton!

borked
tried with various GE builds (7.41-7.54) and Proton Experimental, crashes before getting to menu.
Some dips in frameright for the shaders to all compile. After it was compiled, it ran just fine.
Just need the older version of proton 6.3-8 for it to work.
The multiplayer has enough issues taht it wore me out after a week or so. Not sure how someone less stubborn would last as long.
Increased the value of vm.max_map_count
beyond the Linux kernel default as proposed for Fedora here, which improved the game's ability to load into a match at all, instead of having the game fail for 20 minutes.
Will occasionally crash to desktop. Cause is unclear, but it usually runs fine for hours at a time.
Had to install the "Proton BattlEye Runtime" in order to get past the loading screen for the main lobby. Unlike what older reports indicate, the game picked up the BattlEye Runtime on its own. The game will with some regularity take ages to drop you into a match, but this seems to be an issue to some degree for Window users as well.

Game Crashes on Loading screen
The game will start like normal and go through some of the loading screens with the cinematic but as soon as it gets close to loading the main start area, I hear the music, then the game just closes with no error code

this game is easy to install and jump right into. the use of my launch options I hve configured are simply to make it look nicer.

A few weeks ago this game was completely broken but it seems to play as well if not better than on windows again.
Great game, props to the devs for getting season 3 working on linux again.
With current update the game no longer freezes or crashes mid-game, not entirely sure where the fix came from, but there are couple commits related to battleye from wine side of Proton Experimental (commits number 40c5a2, 36d549, 1dd2c7b) and also game update.

Normal shader shenanigans. Evens out after playing a bit.
Just make sure to have the anti-cheat runtime installed. No additional configuration required.
Make sure you install GE. GE 7-53 failed, reverting to GE 7-51 worked. Install Steam BattleEye Runtime and point the game to it!

Consistent triangle issue in the quarters. Not seen any issues on the Normal difficulty level.
Was able to play with (and get killed by) other players.
The game is improving though they're asking steep prices to for the premium tier insurance and gear. It's a lite verion of Tarkov that you play for free.
Make sure you're installing Glorious Eggroll (ProtonPlus is a good manager of this. 7-51 was the most recent version that I found worked) and that you install the Steam Proton anti cheats (BattlEye and EasyAntiCheat).
In this game you must point it to the anti cheat to get it to run without kicking you mid-match.
Game does not allow you to play. Shows splash screen and crashes immediately

This new season the devs have botched the game. I guess they couldn't be bothered to care about the steam deck/linux users. RIP, was looking forward to playing it

After Hotfix 3.0.2 the game is playable again!
game dont open after update season 3

292 hrs in game seasons 1 and 2 flawless performance. I went up against pros and defeated streamers even outplayed a cheater or two.
Fix this game please.
Instantly Crashes To Crash Report Handler
Installs normally. Launching the game leads to a screen entitled "Crash Report Handler" which reads: "The applicdation has encountered an unexpected error. / You can choose to create a memory dump, which will aid our support team in diagnosing your issue. / Send this dump to [email address]. / Dump started... / This OS has outdated debugging utilities, please download an updated version: [Long Microsoft URL To 'X64 Debuggers And Tools-x64_en-us' MSI File] Failed." There is no way to proceed past the "Crash Report" dialog. The Proton-GE and Proton Experimental test results were identical (both crashed).
Game worked summer 2022. It no longer works. As soon as you start the game it goes into a crash report.

Recent update broke the game
An update on 3/22 broke the game, there's an immediate Windows crash report dialog box upon launching the game. I have tried running the game with various GE-Proton versions, stock Proton, and Proton Experimental with no luck. I've also tried it on both Pop!_OS and Fedora with both AMD and Nvidia GPUs with no success. Someone from Yager in their technical support Discord channel said that, "the patch on March 22...blocked TCF from running when one or more particular drivers were present in your environment," so some anti-cheat measure is probably detecting something it doesn't like while running under Proton.

After latest update (22th march) the game does not start anymore

Crashes eventually after getting past couple of loading screens, both using Experimental and GE 7-42. BattlEye is installed.
You **MUST** be using a Glorious Eggroll Proton later than 7-39. I used 7-41. Steam Proton Experimental and Hotfix don't work in my case

I found that the game would crash arbitrarily after a certain ammount of time without GE Proton 41. Using any Steam or older than GE39 would result in the game just hanging every now and then. In my install I've specified the Anti-Cheat and a bunch of launch options, I'm not sure that I need those specified, but I've had bad times in the past in this game without launch options. Nice game!
