Attempted to benchmark an old computer I fixed up
To preface this, it was run on old hardware. Installation went smooth, but it did't run. Launched through proton and it just got stuck working through the initial splash screens, the CPU was pinned at 100% doing who knows what. After 20-30 minutes it had reached a stable black screen and I decided to close it.
Flashing screen during graphical cutscene, character model glitches in 3D cutscenes, blank beige screen for the second cutscene after skipping the first. Some strange symbols in the text messages..? Climbing tip videos (?) don't work
Mouse input feels kind of slow and laggy even at max sensitivity, though the game should be playable with just a controller or keyboard
Launching it directly from Steam with default settings might not work
First tried whatever Hotfix was set as the default, it got stuck on a black screen after the first cutscene. Then tried Proton 7, 5 and 4 according to what other similar users had reported working, none of which worked, some didn't even reach the main menu while others got stuck at the loading screen with a quote. Finally switched to 9.0-4 which appears to be the latest stable Proton version and it magically started working
It isn't a demanding game performance-wise, runs well on my laptop with integrated graphics
No issues
It works perfectly, but would benefit from a dedicated graphics card. With CPU integrated graphics it runs quite hot, not to the point of throttling but slightly unpleasant
