Launches to black screen with menu music playing and build number in the bottom left, but doesn't load the splash screen to get to the main menu
Game works fine with multiplayer even though it uses EAC.
Some stuttering early on, but performance is pretty good
I haven't had any stability issues or crashes. However, performance is significantly worse than on Windows. I have no problem maintaining locked 60fps on Windows even while doing something CPU heavy like screen capture. With proton, framerate jumps around between 40-60fps making it a stuttery experience. The framerate is low even though CPU and GPU usage is not particularly high. Depending on your hardware, YMMV.
Some stuttering when loading new areas, but otherwise runs flawlessly. I played the entire Ringed City DLC over 20 hours without issues.
Game used to work at platinum level. I played dozens of hours without many issues. Now with recent versions of proton, I am getting frequent freezes and crashes. Also major audio glitching in every boss battle.
Can't get past main menu without crashing
Tried default proton and multiple GloriousMuffin versions to no avail. Definitely doesn't deserve Gold+ rating even based on what others are saying
Played from start to finish without any issues except it crashes when you open display settings.
Campaigns run flawlessly for me, but online play is disabled, so I will give a thumbs down for now.
No online play as EAC is disabled
Playable but has a couple issues. Audio is out of sync and graphics briefly freeze occasionally when loading new areas.

Played through entire game at 144fps 1080p without issues
Able to launch and see initial loading screen, but crashes or freezes before menu
Tried a few proton versions including 5.8-GE-2-MF to no avail
Played through the whole game at 144fps, only had some minor issues mentioned below which I didn't have on Windows.

With dual-monitors, mouse sometimes locked to game window, sometimes not.
Mouse sometimes keeps triggering the game to switch to kb+m prompts instead of controller prompts.
Initially my ps5 controller wasnt detected, had to turn on steam imput in the overlay.
Everything works but the FMVs. To get those working, I had to use winetricks. This fix is BROKEN with proton 5.*, I had to use 4.11-13
To get videos working, had to run protontricks 251290 directshow xvi
Adding a new review because you cannot get past chapter 6 (50-60 hours in) without running on Windows

Hard lock in chapter 6 of the story in both DX9 and DX8
Played through the story normally and with commentary without issues
The "native" version is just the Windows game prepackaged with an old version of Wine that doesn't work anymore (crashes after opening cutscene). Install with proton and the game launcher doesn't work. Force launch the game without the launcher and the game runs at a couple fps and slowed to an unplayable rate.
I was unable to get more than 40fps in general despite CPU and GPU usage being below 50%. The game would also crash when I tried to change resolution. It seems to be completely playable besides those issues.
