Doesn't work at all :(
The demo worked completely fine for me, but trying to run the actual thing just results in a black screen that stays there indefinitely. No music plays, and while my hard disk activity light occasionally flashes, leaving it there for over ten minutes made no difference. Tabbing out and back in results in the black screen disappearing... but nothing replacing it; the window is there, but transparent.
I've tried using both Proton 5.0-9 and Proton 5.8-GE-2-MF, both produce the same result.
Repeated freezes at random intervals; retains audio but video stuck
Freezes but retains audio at random intervals - sometimes shortly after loading a level, sometimes up to 20 minutes into playing. Will continue playing audio ad infinitum, including dialogue going on around the player character, but never resumes video; stays frozen on that screen.
The game has a number of bugs still as it's in Early Access, but these aren't Linux-specific at all.
Initial cutscene is slow and a bit janky, but gameplay is fine.
Short black screen on startup, but resolves quickly. Using the "quit" button in game may cause a hang, but you can just kill the process.

Multiplayer is non-functional, as whenever I try to access it, Uplay crashes.
Uplay crashes before launch of the game itself, making it unplayable
Regression from previous behaviour, where at least the game would function without Uplay - now Uplay crashes and no game either. I'm now also using Proton-5.1-GE-1 from GloriousEggroll, and still producing this result.
Before launching the game, go to your Terminal and run the command cd ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/RailWorks; find . -name "*.ap" -execdir unzip '{}' ';' (sourced from here: https://www.protondb.com/app/24010#y-1hbDjmb)
This will prevent the bug where trying to play a route will just result in an empty main menu.
Some artefacting is present on the high voltage lines above the railways.
Slower than native, but definitely not unplayable.
