Aside from a slight cursor texture bug, works perfectly

Game runs perfect besides the super key being weird
Had an issue where pressing the super key plays the game as normal but only shows one frame, tabbing out keeps the frame on screen, and tabbing back in shows the latest one, after this happened it did affect alt+tab as well. Also another issue where during this stuff happened, I couldn't place down any tower but could play the game as normal. Reinstalling fixed this for me

WINEDLLOVERRIDES=version=n,b %command% # For modding with MelonLoader
Had to remove i915-sriov-dkms-git and use the regular i915 driver to make the game display on Iris Xe Graphics

Needed to ensure nvidia drivers were installed/loaded, nouveau would cause lockups after 30min to 60min
Works great, no tinkering needed

Running in Pop!_OS hybrid graphics mode will inevitably crash each session. Swapping to NVIDIA graphics mode will stop this.
Have been playing this game for a while over the past few days without any issue, the game launched without needing to change anything.


cursor has thinner outline and weird red lines
hotkeys (basically whole keyboard except space) didnt work at all
👍

Works fine
The monkey hand cursor had some red lines

Works like a charm
The Monkey-mousepointer does have some red lines around it, but it doesn't affect gameplay.
About two years ago, it didn't work at all; now it just works straight out of the box. No tinkering, just playing the game. It runs very smoothly too!

Works flawlessly out of the box with no issues
Played many online co-op matches with friends without a single issue

Runs perfectly fine, takes a few seconds longer to launch compared to windows

PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60 %command%
i get the occasional audio cracking in all Proton games. the environment variable PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=60
fixes this.

When changing resolution, the game can permanently become minimised. I found changing to low res, fullscreening and then back to 1080p or higher it worked. Until you tab out and it happens again
Glorious Eggroll 22 Proton layer seemed to fix this issue, no need to changing settings like above
Just be careful with fullscreen/changing res, until I messed around with those settings it was perfect OOB

Works perfectly out of the box
Runs a little slower than windows used to, stutters when lots of things are happening on the screen. Nothing serious though

Sometimes I even forget that im on Linux
It works without issues. If you cant start it you should switch to an older version or even bleeding edge GE-Proton
Runs perfectly, no tinkering needed.

Game sometimes crashes on startup and will consistently crash after 20 - 30 minutes of gameplay.
Perfect bloon popping experience

deafult size cursor has red dots on it
can't close the game, can't force stop via steam
Ran OOTB, didn't try online play, however

Crashed spontaneously around lvl 75 of 80 in Contested Territory while actively playing. In another session crashed during a contested territory game when I paused the game and came back 6 minutes later. In both cases the game window was still launched but I could not interract with it. killing steam's process and restarted resolved the issue, though progress in game was lost to nearest save checkpoint. The crashes are unique to running on linux as I have not experienced that type of crash on Windows or android.
Played several more hours since my last report. Leaving new report for the unexpected crashes. Otherwise this still is largely functional.

great tower defense
mouse cursor was small
Rating "excellent" though note that bloons multiplayer netcode is not the greatest to begin with. I found it no different than Windows/Android
I played several more hours on linux, overall it works well. I do agree with some other reviews that the cursor is small. I didn't notice it until I played some high level games where it was easy to lose my cursor amidst everything going on.

Game runs exactly as expected. I can stuff it full of sniper monkeys, and it can't stop me!
The small cursor has red diagonal lines across it. Go into the Hotkeys settings and use a larger cursor to fix this.
Performance is limited by Bloons TD 6's own servers, which can sometimes randomly disconnect people for no reason.
Works great OOTB

120 hours on windows, 1 hour on linux so far. no issues. used proton 9 stable. was able to login to my acct, play events, save game, etc. no curosor issues, glitching, or other issues i saw described. Was just as good as playing on my old windows PC

Works great! Didnt test multiplayer tho

The few issues I had were so minor that I can't imagine they would matter to anyone, especially given how casual the game is.
I know my laptop definitely isn't very powerful, but when I get several rounds into the game, moving my mouse cursor with the trackpad causes the games frame rate to plummet. I didn't have an FPS counter on, but it feels like the frame rate is cut in half.
Steam defaulted me to using Proton Hotfix, but that version caused hard system crashes after only a couple minutes in the menus of the game.

Plays exactly like it did in windows!
The only exception is that on Windows it ran at over 160FPS, on Linux it appears to be capped at 140FPS desptie no bottlenecks in my system.
normal connections issues that also appear on windows

without the experimental version of proton, the game would launch, but no models would load eg. towers were invisible, menus were broken, etc.
