Game demands Fullscreen+1024x768 Monitor Resolution
Game starts first time in montior resolution, but the mouse is restricted to 1024x768 upper left. 1024x768 is also the official max resolution. If you switch your monitor to it BEFORE starting the game, it will work. Tinkering with user.cfg file has no impact. Cannot change res to monitor successfully, nor force windowed mode, etc.
Aside from this, game crashed once in tutorial (CTD), but so far not in campaign. Some non-Steam/Proton related bugs seem to linger, yet overall the game runs fine with Proton. Mouse responsive. 3D rendering working smoothly. Framerate very high (no way to force vsync).
Game runs perfectly AFTER you created-edited options.txt file
Follow @grandmastermoth's instructions below. Basically, the game will not run or silently crash on start, since it's init script does not detect your directory or monitor resolution - nor sets a default.
Before creating or editing the file, click on play once, so SteamPlay is installing IT's Proton directory structure and files for this game. THEN just go to the pfx-directory of this game and you can either safely replace the option.txt with randmastermoth's pastebin version... OR - the minimum - is just to set RezX and RezY values.
As mentioned, this method works for many, many Matrix/Slitherine games.
Game itself then runs smooth as butter. All bugs and framerate issues are related to the game or game-engine itself - not Proton.
