Game opens the settings menu, but upon launching gives a black screen and crashes. Changing Proton versions didn't help.
Previously played it on Mint - worked out of the box. If you use a Debian version of Linux, it works out of the box. Arch needs tinkering.
PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%
Going in and out of menus stuttered.
Mostly related to what I mentioned in the stutters in menus, but otherwise fine.
On Manjaro, I couldn't launch the game. The furthest I got was the settings screen for choosing your game speed, resolution, etc., then it just quits out unless I install Wine and force it to use Direct3D.
Basically a similar experience as on other platforms. Noticed framerate issues, though that could be a hardware issue on my end.
PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%
Framedrops that I didn't experience on the same hardware running Windows 10. Didn't make it unplayable but was noticeable.
Private rooms with codes worked and so did random online lobbies
Without installing Wine and forcing Proton to use WINED3D, the game will crash with "Failed to initialize graphics driver"
Starts, shows the main menu for about 1-2 minutes, then gives a Black Cipher error and closes.
Seems like the anti-cheat does not play nice on Linux, regardless of what you do to tinker around with it. Don't even bother with this game on a Linux OS.
Works absolutely perfectly regardless of distro. Runs out of the box on everything I've tried.
Can't read the player name in one specific scene in act 3, due to it being tied to Windows. That's the only thing that I noticed. Literally everything else ran beautifully and perfectly.
Game just does not start.
I got about as far as the login screen before it abruptly closed on me and this kept happening every single time. No matter what I tried to do, the game refused to start.
I hate the fact that this game is native on Linux.
It ran at about 5-10 FPS. Granted, this is a super simple puzzle game so the framerate barely matters, but it was, well, annoying to play like this. Ran fine on the same hardware on Windows 10.
Does not start. Steam shows "Playing" and then promptly goes back to "Play" after about 5 seconds. Changing Proton versions didn't help.
Unplayable. You can connect and play with other users but the progression bug makes it not worth playing.
Game does not store and progress with stats/achievements and all progress resets when the game is rebooted, making it practically unplayable.
Mentioned before regarding the problem with saving. The same issue applies with drops. Even if I reveal a card and get a Steam item, I get an "unexpected error 500" error and my item drop gets nullified.
Not sure if my distribution or configuration is to blame, but none of the other versions of Proton solved this issue. Running it directly through Wine made it unplayable on my machine, so even if that doesn't have the progression bug I mentioned, I wouldn't recommend it.
