Install & start game then quits.
The game installs fine via steam but when pressing the play button it goes to a black screen for a couple of seconds then quits. Using Steamplay Runtime results in missing executable.
Aside from the Contra games' trademark difficulty the game runs really well and was quite enjoyable.
Pressing L2 popped up an in-game window which has Chinese (I think?) characters with a ? mark. You can close the window by hitting the A button on the gamepad or the Z key on the keyboard but it pops back up immediately. Avoiding an accidental pressing of the L2 helps this. I had no problems with switching between windowed and fullscreen using alt+enter.
The L2 window popup thing requires you to shutdown the game via alt+f4 or by going into window mode and X'ing out.
DC Universe Online still runs as well as it did in my last report.
Every once in a while DCUO will crash at startup and need to be restarted. I've not had a crash during game play, only at start up. The crash is very rare but has happened a few times.
Aside form the random crashes coming back with the BoP episode everything is still in good shape.
Game works under Ubuntu 20.04 with some bugs. I'm sure it's a Ubuntu problem and not Proton.
No sound at all in Ubuntu. I'm not sure why, but I have been playing anyway with no audio. Audio seems to works fine under Fedora 32.
On Ubuntu the game would lock up/crash when losing focus. This does not happen on Fedora 32 with similar hardware.
A couple of crashes here and there, mostly related to the game window losing focus.
Using Proton 5.0-10 I can see and login to the launcher again, returning the game to playable.

Switching between fullscreen and windowed or alt tab'ing will freeze the game.
Avoid Alt-Tab and this game plays very well.
DC Universe Online still crashes randomly. Controller support still does not work after previously working. Nothing new otherwise.
Wired controllers work once again without issue, I tested Dualshock 4 and Xbox One S controllers. I was able to play well over an hour with out issue but it eventually crashed. Great performance while working. Once stability is increased DCUO should easily be Platinum.
I was finally able to resolve stability issues by manually installing the 'latest' DXVK via winetricks into steam's WINEPREFIX for DCUO (game id 24200). I was able to play DCUO free from crashes for several hours. Controllers still work properly via USB. I wouldn't hesitate to give a Platinum rating if it weren't for the manual installation of the latest DXVK.
Installed via steam as normal. Updated via launcher as normal. Game played flawless as if it were played on Windows. Wired XBOX ONE gamepad worked OOB. USB headset worked OOB including voice chat. No crashes like there used to be. I do not hesitate to give a Platinum rating.
Click PLAY and then nothing.
After Steam's initial download finishes I click the PLAY button and it goes to CANCEL then back to PLAY. The launcher does not start to finish installing the game.

After installing Steam's Proton EAC multiplayer worked as intended.
On my particular system I can't tell any difference between playing under linux and windows.
Runs with ProtonGE 6.18-2 but still kicks from match
After reports EAC was working for this title on Linux I installed it. I had to use ProtonGE to run it as Proton-Experimental wouldn't do it. After joining I was kicked right as the match started. Will try again in a few days.
I needed to install the Proton BattleEye Runtime.
Paladins ran perfectly fine on my system after installing Proton BattleEye Runtime and using ProtonGE 6.21-GE-2. I did not need to make any changes to the launch options. I played for 5 online matches with no issue.
Game launcher installed fine with no configuration file edits needed to download content. Game starts and plays as you'd expect.
Minus videos not playing the game looked to play well. Once we figure out how to render the video it'll be very playable.
Videos would not play for cutscenes. I'm not sure what codec or tools were used to create them but it's incompatible at this point. I tried Proton-6.0-GE-1 with no better luck. The video are easily skipped but you miss most the story.
TOTD:OK used to work on before the 2.x.x.x version of the game.
If you can track down the 1.x version of the game and restore it to the 2.x.x.x directory, which is by default ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Typing of the Dead Overkill, it will work again (just over write same files). There no way I could find to not install game updates and just install the older 1.x version form steam.
