EAC is broken
Installed VCRun 2015
EAC doesn't work, couldn't reinstall it, tried installing Visual Studio C++ Redistributables 2015 via Protontricks and that didn't fix it and I couldn't install 2012, 2017, 2019, OR 2022 versions. Additionally, switching to different Proton versions didn't fix the issue either. Without EAC you can't play or even get into the main menu
a third of your time playing this game would be loading, the native version has severe performance issues and ignores launch options
Sometimes, when loading saves, most textures are missing
Native version runs very poorly, Proton runs better but the load times can be measured in minutes
would not recommend on linux, most of the issues listed either don't exist on windows or are significantly reduced
played in 1080p in desktop mode, infrequent frame drops
After the game loads, I limited the TDP to 3W, and it had no impact on performance. BUT, setting the tdp that low has a SIGNIFICANT impact on boot times.
PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 %command%
I installed vcrun2015 and d3d11_42 and d3d11_43. I also used GE-Proton 8.22. When using Proton 7 and playing without d3d11 installed, the game ran much worse.
Sometimes, the performance would degrade over time.
The game requires a bit of tinkering to get to work properly, but it does work.
using the native build, the game ran at 1/3 the framerate. using proton fixes this
