Crashes upon pressing New Game or Continue after briefly loading, probably a video causing it. GE, Experimental (Bleeding-Edge), and 8.0-3 all fail with the same behaviour.

Steam preload had given me corrupted files for my earlier report. Game is working just fine now, EAC included.

No issues to report.

Rare crackling sound at time, not very frequent.
Possible issues with alpha blending/dithering but this could be a Proton/mesa/amdgpu thing that gets fixed later. Only showed up obviously at the Victory screen around the portal and around the portal on the main menu. Unconfirmed if this is different from Windows rendering.
Get ~100-144fps at 4k with AA turned off and everything else set to Ultra.

At times, massive artifacting is visible that seems to originate froms pecific obejcts or the camera center. Hard to describe but it can get really bad and make it impossible to see at times. Might be an RDNA3 issue.
Lens flares seem really bugged for me too.
RAM usage went up to 30GB+ and caused massive stuttering after a decently long play session.
protontricks 502280 win7
proton-ge doesn't seem to fix the movie playback issues. Movies had to be disabled in the launcher to avoid crashing.
When running proton-ge the menus also would automatically scroll to the bottom grid row (for items and equipment), but this behavior does not occur on Proton Experimental.
Enabled win7 mode via protontricks since the game had a message at start saying it would run better in win7 compatibility mode.
Does not launch OpenXR properly.
Game freezes upon loading at the OpenXR splash screen. Often either crashing SteamVR completely (black display and an error message on SteamVR) or causing the entire graphics stack to freeze and thus require a reset of the entire system.
gamemoderun %command%
No apparent issues; Seems to play exactly like it did for me on Windows. Maxed out settings.
Limited TDP to 5w for stable 90fps and some battery savings.
After using touchscreen you'll need to hit a gamepad button to get it to go back into "gamepad mode" for menus.
Sometimes research menus for adding items in areas like the Town Hall or other buildings would not properly act as if I was clicking the box shown by the UI and go to some other menu item or scroll to another item.
Sometimes items/hazards would be hard to select with the gamepad controls, but this likely isn't steamdeck specific.
Battery lasts ~7hrs when limited to 5w and running at 90fps.

On native the game either froze on launch or wouldn't launch at all after messing with forcing compatibility layers to troubleshoot, with both runtime or native Steam.
Forcing Proton Experimental finally worked (but initially did not) after some fiddling around with gamescope and then removing those options to sanity check without gamescope once more.

There is some hitching when loading in shaders for a new area; To be expected when running Vulkan and having to process shaders without a supplied cache. Elevators also seemed to have a large delay, but this was likely due to a similar invisible loading screen going on in the background.
Did an entire playthrough on Linux.

Video player crashes the client completely upon loading a url. Likely uses AVPro4.

The game itself seems to suffer from some bugs when the cult grows above 20 members. As far as I am aware, none of these should be Linux specific.

Performance in this invite-only alpha/beta isn't the best on Proton but is reasonably stable at 4k 144hz with most eye-candy disabled while running at native resolution (read: no FSR).
A Linux-native build would probably be a boon for performance in general, but this alpha/beta hasn't gone through full optimization passes yet anyhow.
Game attempts to boot up and shows a black window before immediately crashing with a white flash.
Tested on Experimental, 6.3-7, 5.13-6 and 6.18-GE-2.
Game seems to work fine, but disconnects the user due to Easy Anti-Cheat.

Frametimes were pretty dreadful with lots of inconsistency/stuttering. Friend said Windows felt fine.
Crashed/froze right after killing the Crypt Lord, completely resetting my progress and not saving any of the work I had done for an hour or two despite having tons of checkpoints.
EAC doesn't load. Can't start in offline mode either.
All gamepads (ds4, xbone, etc.) would not be detected until I completely wiped compatdata for the game alongside a forced re-initialization of its proton environment by switching from Experimental to GE and then back again alongside a Steam Download Cache reset.
EAC will launch correctly once and then all subsequent attempts with Experimental will fail to load EAC. Ended up doing the simple renaming trick to force EAC to not run and thus cannot play online as a result. Hoping this gets ironed out soon.
Only one crash so far after taking a Steam screenshot.
EAC now works for multiple launches (not just the first) on Proton Experimental (Bleeding-Edge).
gamemoderun %command%
Steam cloud sync would fail after some crashes, requiring a hard reset of the wine prefix directory via switching back and forth between Proton versions in Steam.
Ever since EAC started working for Proton and has been in use, the game has had occasional crashes and freezes, seemingly caused at random by certain new effects or shaders loading in (ie: hitting a random rock and sparks appearing).
My belief is that playing the game offline and bypassing EAC was much more stable, but that was for the first few dozen hours of the game whereas the rest of the 100+ hour playthrough was with EAC active.
Server issues aside, multiplayer seems to work as intended.
Stuttering issue was non-existant for me as a 3090 user, ymmv. er-patcher (https://github.com/gurrgur/er-patcher) is a valid way to unlock the framerate and bypass EAC for potentially enhanced stability.
python er-patcher --rate 144 -uvcas -- env MANGOHUD=1 %command%
Random sudden crashes were observed while playing the new DLC expansion. Only a couple over ~40hrs.
EAC wasn't working on Linux after the DLC day 0 update. I used er-patcher since the DLC launch and thus did not play with online functionality whatsoever for the ~40hr playtime the DLC gave me.

It is fairly aggressive at not letting you switch virtual desktops on i3wm.
One particular map crashed me every time in a specific spot. It was the map with a mostly destroyed bridge section you would walk past during the data cube portion or early on with Magnum.
~100-110 fps at 4k with AA turned to its minimum setting on a 7900 XTX at 100% utilization.
PROTON_EAC_RUNTIME="/home/USER/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Proton EasyAntiCheat Runtime" mangohud gamemoderun %command%

Game was added as a non-steam game via Ubisoft Connect launcher first and then swapped over to the game exe as the primary target.
Disabled ingame Ubisoft Connect overlay notifications to remove unsupported driver warning.
When opening some menus such as Heroes screen the framerate sometimes becomes a stuttering mess with Mangohud flashing for a while. When it calms down it runs silky smooth.
Getting 144fps at 4k with no Anti-Aliasing.
mangohud gamemoderun %command%
No outstanding issues have been noticed after coming back to this game and diving into some post-game content.
EAC does not initialize properly.
mangohud gamemoderun %command%
Doesn't open at all on Experimental (Bleeding-Edge). Fails to fully initialize on GE.
mangohud gamemoderun %command%
Looking directly into a portal like the ones for "The Vault" seem to reduce FPS quite a bit when up close. Otherwise performance was fine.
Attempts to start but nothing shows after the steam dialogue finishes and it closes the process shortly thereafter.
Tested on Proton 6.3-7 and Proton 6.21_GE.
DXVK_ASYNC=1 mangohud gamemoderun %command%
It might just be the game but it doesn't run very well for how it looks. ~60fps 4k, or ~70fps 1440p-ish on Ultra.
More often than not will crash when loading into something; Whether it be the main menu, or a shooting-range level. Have to force close the game via Steam's STOP button.
Its just not there. That said: it crashed a lot for me on Windows 10 when I tried out its beta as well so I don't have much hope for it.
Ignore DXVK_ASYNC launch arg as that was when attempting to run it on GE.

On RDNA3/GFX11, you'll want to disable DCC until mesa fixes an issue with DCC and mipmaps. You can either use a patch (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/21186) or use RADV_DEBUG=nodcc to fix this problem.
RDNA3 users may want to add one tweak until mesa fixes a bug with DCC and mipmaps.
Works great after sorting out a current issue with RDNA3/mesa and upping a default limit in Linux.

You'll want to set /proc/sys/vm/max_map_count to 1048576 or create a .conf file to do so at boot (ie: vm.max_map_count=1048576) to prevent frequent crashes when loading scenes (fast-travel, going to main menu, some quests, etc.) (credit to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/6510#issuecomment-1422699309 and https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/6510#issuecomment-1422921442).
Getting ~80-120ish fps on a 7900 XTX at 4k Ultra (using FSR 2 Quality).
Looks to be set up a bit better than the EGS release, but Steam Deck workaround needed for FMVs.
gamescope -w 3840 -h 2160 -r 144 --mangoapp -- env SteamDeck=1 gamemoderun %command%
Gamescope was required or else KH1 would give me a black screen on i3wm with just music playing after selecting that game from the starting menu.
Steam Deck seems to have a specific workaround from Valve for FMVs that desktop Linux is not getting, at least for my system with all gst-plugins installed and using Proton Experimental (bleeding-edge) on Gentoo.
Will report on further issues but at least this is much more promising than my earlier attempts at playing the EGS releases in the past.
gamescope -w 3840 -h 2160 -r 144 --mangoapp -- env SteamDeck=1 gamemoderun %command%

Steam Deck env var needed for cutscene workaround. Gamescope needed if using a twm like i3wm.
gamescope -w 3840 -h 2160 -r 144 --mangoapp -- gamemoderun %command%
Running slightly under 4k 144hz at mostly max settings (motion blur, bloom, etc. off or low) depending on area. Cutscenes so far appear to be working fine without needing Steam Deck env var, as they seem to be rendered live in-engine.
mangohud gamemoderun %command%
Minimap and some UI animations not appearing properly on Native build. Camera issues (way too close to be playable, bg sprites appearing at specific zoom level, etc.) when running under Proton Experimental (Bleeding-Edge).
Runs at ~128ish fps at 4k on top-end AMD hardware with AA off.
mangohud gamemoderun %command%
No DX12 shader stuttering or anything. Runs well at native 4k ~100-120fps with "Low" AA and "Best" for everything else on a 7900 XTX at 100% utilization.

Sometimes when crashing on i3wm, the mouse cannot go back to the monitor that Rise was using. Reloading the wm fixes this.
Often when first starting the game through GE, my dualshock 4 will disconnect for a bit and then reconnect and be fine thereafter.
Sudden, random crashes when talking to NPCs primarily in multiplayer. Also seen outside of multiplayer in Rampage at least once.

Must delete cache files and comaptdata/shadercache dirs just to have the game make it past loading the RE Engine screen. Otherwise, the game instantly crashes on any boot after the first successful one.
Game does not boot after the first successful load. See config details: TLDR is that the caching seems absolutely broken after some recent update. The game used to work fine before with mods and everything, save for the occaisional blackscreen after eating dango.
Major issue with caching is ruining any current desire to play the game. Occuring on two installs where I was using mods before, no longer can use REF at all; let alone boot after the first shader compile session is closed.
mangohud gamemoderun WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8.dll=n,b" %command%
As stated: When using Nvidia driver 515.57 or 515.65.01 the game was unable to start after a first clean boot whenever the vkd3d-proton.cache files were present. Removing them would allow the game to start when unmodded. Mods would never load successfuly on these drivers due to a lack of pre-existing cache.
After downgrading to the current stable Nvidia driver on Gentoo (510.73.05), the game launches just fine and even works with mods as it did before both my Gentoo and Arch installs received the 515.57 driver.PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 for DLSSWINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8.dll=n,b" for mods
Was messing around for hours trying to figure out what was causing the issue and now I know... Though this causes worry for when the stable driver does get bumped on Gentoo.
mangohud gamemoderun PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8.dll=n,b" %command%
Proton Experimental (Bleeding-Edge) appears to have a regression that crashes the game when loading the intro movie. Downgrading to 7.0-4 fixes this. Tried with and without dinput8 being loaded for mods.
Stuck on compiling shaders for 7900 XTX.
mangohud gamemoderun %command%
Can't play the game as it never loads in after the "Compiling Shaders..." bar fills up. Just has activity on a single core on the CPU forever aftward. Tested on 7.0-5, GE-7-43, and (Experimental Bleeding-Edge) with cleared compatdata, shader caches, and configs.
If any of the display settings were altered from the defaults, it became impossible to render at correct resolutions for my displays and the windowed modes completely broke the game's positioning. Tested on i3.
I had to clear out my config.ini to reset settings in order to get it back to a playable resolution after I had tried tweaking display settings initially. Basically just leave them untouched and it should work (at least this is the behavior on i3).
mangohud gamemoderun %command%
One crash so far mid-round, just randomly closed.
Won't launch at all now on any version of Proton.

Playtest survey acted a little funny but did not break anything besides being slow.
Perfect
Proton GE needed or else pre-rendered videos were black screens. Playtest ran at various framerates but was totally playable in a competitive setting at 4k max settings with AA, motion blur, and DoF off.
No longer works at all.
Devs added kernel-level anticheat that doesn't work with Linux whatsoever, and the launcher fails to start up the game. Trying to launch the .exe directly also fails. First beta didn't have this problem at all, so a perfectly fine game has been ruined by the developers.

Voices for everyone except main character were broken upon relaunching game and viewing cutscene again after first freeze.
Game runs poorly. Frequent stuttering when loading new things despite lengthy precaching at startup.
Frequent freezing after first cutscene. Unplayable.
Garbage. Capcom should know better, yet I doubt they've fixed up DD2 (using the same engine) and thus this game will likely go the same route. As a long-time Monster Hunter fan since the first PS2 game, I am sorely disappointed in Capcom.
VKD3D_CONFIG=disable_uav_compression __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1 taskset -c 0-7,16-23 gamemoderun %command%
VKD3D_CONFIG=disable_uav_compression needed to fix FSR causing a black screen. Benchmark build did not need this launch arg, release build may not as well if that is indicative of fixes that were made.
When using gamescope, it is necessary to launch steam with -steamos3 flag to get gamepad working for some reason, at least with the beta build.
When using gamescope and obs-vkcapture to attempt streaming the game, I still ran into a GPU freeze and failed recovery. When not using these extra tools around the game, I have so far been avoiding those same freezes that happened constantly on earlier Proton and ProtonGE builds; Proton Experimental (bleeding-edge) seems to be the best bet for performance and fixing this issue.
Seems to run best when confined to one CCD, and seems to prefer higher cache rather than higher clockspeeds for X3D multi-CCD processors.
Framegen had artifacting around the player model, so running it at 4k FSR Performance (1080p base resolution) was my go-to for decent performance without noticeable sacrifices in aesthetics on Ultra.
Will update report based on how the release build looks in two weeks.
obs-vkcapture taskset -c 0-7,16-23 mangohud gamemoderun %command%
You need to download the old one from https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/package/Microsoft.Direct3D.DirectStorage/1.2.2 and extract the binaries to the game root directory. I set mine to readonly so that Steam won't replace them and kept the new 1.2.3 binaries as backups.
This behaviour matches what I saw when attempting the manual DirectStorage upgrade before TU1 that would also freeze my system. Something just isn't compatible with Proton and DirectStorage 1.2.3.
Login for score uploads wasn't working via Brave (V1.30.87).
Quitting the game leaves it hanging until clicking "Stop" in the Steam UI.
Some very short slowdowns when dunst notifications appear but otherwise everything is working great. VPN may have been my culprit before for not being able to use the login for syncing.

No issues to report.
Proton seems to work better than native version as more features are properly working (such as video players via libVLC and visemes).

While having a native version is good, I don't think it receives much attention, and is stuck on OpenGL for now. Proton version seems to work all as expected. Have not yet tried VR.

Random crashes when fullscreen, didn't seem to occur when windowed (i3).
Had to use Proton GE; Experimental and 6.3 wouldn't launch the game at all.
mangohud gamemoderun %command%
Initial startup is in a small window. Fullscreening it via i3wm will make the mouse act funky so just enable fullscreen in the options while its in the small window and everything should work just fine.
RADV_PERFTEST="sam" VKD3D_CONFIG="" taskset -c 0-7,16-23 gamescope -w 3840 -h 2160 -r 144 -- mangohud gamemoderun %command%
Game runs terribly.
4k with FSR set to Performance on all Low gets you ~90-100fps on a 7950x3d (cache cores specified) and a 7900XTX. Practically unplayable for a game where you need to shoot and aim with a mouse since the framerate is inconsistent on top of that.
Ultra settings takes it down to 67fps in the hub, High sits at 80fps, Medium at 85fps. This is all with FSR set to Performance at 4k native.
Game wouldn't launch properly at all on newer Protons (8, Experimental (Bleeding-Edge), GE 8-9). Had to downgrade to 7.0-6 on top of trimming RADV_PERFTEST to not include "rt" and making my VKD3D_CONFIG blank rather than including "dxr11". Crashes after the optimzation screen make me believe it was trying to set raytracing options and failing immediately.
Crashes immediately on Experimental (Bleeding-Edge) and GE-Proton7-50.

Being near water seems to cause a low framerate.
The game's AI can't climb up stairs very well, this might just be the game. Some other issues that warrant restarting a mission's checkpoint as well.
In display.ini I set SkipIntroVideo = true and symlinked the DX11 exe to game_launcher.exe so it would launch by default.
Can't get MangoHud to appear though even with these tweaks, sadly.

Windowed mode expects fixed resolutions which won't play nice with a WM. Can just fullscreen it instead.
Frametimes issues were most notable in Fountainhead Palace, likely due to some of the water effects going on in the area or something; Didn't really affect gameplay in a noticeable way as it was fully completable 100%.
The game would likely feel better and have less noticeable frametime-related impacts if it was easier to unlock the fps from the standard locked-down 60 that the game runs at. Doing this would affect frametimes for attacks and hitboxes though.

In a medium (default settings) city I'm getting 60-80fps indoors (100+fps if in a less busy location like a single room/apartment), 50-60fps in the streets. Early access should mean that there's plenty of room for optimization but the game doesn't necessarily need high framerates to enjoy it.

Game expects fixed resolutions and thus won't always play the nicest in windowed mode with a WM like i3wm; Can just fullscreen it with ctrl+f.
Has crashed a handful of times; Hasn't been a consistent nor major issue.
Stutters occur when a new effect/ability is first used since it has to cache shaders for them. No stutters at all after said effect has been seen once (until drivers update on Nvidia at least).
VR performance on Linux was noticeably degraded.
Video players are disabled for all Linux users.
Hard crash if a video was attempted to be loaded via an avpro4 player. Required killing pids via kill commands to regain control of cursor.
Proton GE appears to fix baked-in videos for worlds that include them as a part of the map (such as MMD worlds).
Otherwise, behavior is similar to standard Proton/Proton Experimental asides from the new crashing from avpro4 video loading.
Closing the game also hangs afterwards and required a kill command to fully clean it up when using Proton GE.
Proton wouldn't start for me on experimental whatsoever.
Anticheat is still closes the game after loading a character.

No issues to report.
If you're on an Index and run above 100% resolution (I typically run at 150%), the right eye is rendered completely incorrectly.
On Windows I've had this game freeze quite a bit and require a rejoin; Have yet to experience that on Linux but so far I've only gone through one or two rounds after seeing the fix for the right eye rendering incorrectly.

LOD issues at times. Could be the game.
Windowed mode only uses fixed resolutions.
Game has its own issues with online play.
Likely need GE for intro movie. Had to troubleshoot and downgrade Nvidia drivers (to 520.56.06) as the most recent version (525.60.11) had issues trying to generate and load the vkd3d.cache file, this has happened before so its probably just an Nvidia issue again (specifically for the 3090).
No longer works, downgrading drivers and having it launch once was a fluke.

I think all you really need is the user_config pregenerated, but I didn't test doing just that alone, as I also removed the Edge webview installer.
Get around 40-60fps on High at 1440p with motion blur off and Nvidia Reflex on.
Not sure how to verify if Nvidia Reflex is working or not but it lets me pick it and doesn't crash!
Game doesn't seem to run well at 4k.

Artifcating that looked like tri/polygon stretching; Vanishing corpse models that were probably related but would appear back in the proper spots at times.
Had a complete driver freeze/crash that spit me back out to my display manager. Had to reboot afterwards.

No issues to report.
Unskippable, broken intro video.
Game menu and graphics all work fine. Intro video just doesn't play correctly and sounds incredibly slowed down. Cannot skip it whatsoever.

Video for tutorial boss wouldn't load the first time, but restarting the game fixed that. Not sure if this will happen further on or not.
Videos may pose issues at times but Proton Experimental (Bleeding-Edge) appears to be solving that.
Played the demo which was locked to 60, 30 for cutscenes. Here's hoping the full game lets the frame limit go higher and perhaps mods for cutscenes get made to unlock the framerates.

Video bug might've been fixed in Proton Experimental (Bleeding-Edge), as I wasn't able to recreate it towards the end of the game while learning all wizardry spells. This scenario would've had a very high likelihood of causing the bug to appear which is why I want to assume it might've been addressed.
Game ran pretty great at 4k 120hz on a 7900 XTX, but did seem CPU heavy in some areas for my 5800X such that my GPU wasn't seeing full utilization. I generally stayed in "FPS Mode" since "Resolution Mode" ran considerably worse in some areas, which may be related to the GPU not being able to hit full utilization in my setup.

Saved games from the past have been totally wiped. Sometimes a save was not loadable or would crash upon loading and require reloading multiple times.
Game sometimes crashes, requiring a restart and reload of a save (see save problems).
MangoHud does not work well with this title, likely due to the launcher that spawns beforehand.

It hitches quite a bit when processing turns or seeing new assets, not sure if this is Proton specific or not.
Only kernel I am able to run this game on without having the amdgpu drivers freeze is the amd-drm-next branch.
Note: My experience was with the Xenonauts 2 demo!

UI scaling for a 4k monitor leaves text and graphics a bit blurry/pixelated, but this should be unrelated to Proton.
Doesn't launch; Fails to find Vulkan extensions.
mangohud gamemoderun %command%
Display.cpp:416: std::vector<const char*> proxy::video::Display::getRequiredExtensions(): Failed to get required Vulkan extensions. Please update your graphics driver by visiting your graphics card manufacturer's support website.
Doesn't work at all under Native Linux build nor Proton (access violation error there immediately upon launch).
Assuming you're fine with the boring gameplay, it runs fine. You can use external VOIP instead of ingame to remedy that issue.
Voice chat doesn't work on Linux at all.
100% Grass caused stuttering vr view when looking side-to-side on a system that has a 5800x/3090. 75% seemed fine but overall the graphics don't warrant that kind of performance.
