The loading splash showed, but as it was drawing up the easy anti-cheat logo, it crashed.
Easy anti-cheat seems to be broken.
Some videos were a bit jittery, but graphics overall worked fine, as did the rest of the game. PTL!
On occasion when playing startup video and I think also cutscenes, there were jitters.
Installed directplay
DirectPlay (a Windows component, available as a WineTricks verb Thankfully) is required for LAN multiplayer. Unable to test multiplayer fully as of yet, but the game stopped saying it was "Unable to create session" once I installed DirectPlay. Found this out by trying the game on Tiny 11 and getting a "Needs additional Windows component" notification.
I heard the Valve theme, but the screen remained dark. Then the window disappeared and my desktop misbehaved.
While, my system is capable of using my NVidia graphics card in general, this is yet another case where RTX has not been working on Linux.
Works well ...enough. Seriously, though, 👍. TYJ!
Slight screen tearing even with vertical sync turned on.
Game failed to start first time
No idea why it didn't start the first time.

Slight screen tearing, despite having vertical sync turned on.
All saves were labeled as being Test Chamber 00, no matter the progress.
Game did not launch properly the first time.
Not sure why it didn't launch properly the first time.
The game jammed within 20 seconds of starting a new game. I have the minimum hardware specs to run this.
PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 %command%

My previous report as a game faliure was due to corrupt files, not Proton. I used "verify integrity of game files" in its settings and TYJ it works!
Game appears to work largely normaly. The problems I experienced may not be global, or may even be cross-platform bugs.
Turning fullscreen on and off worked, but after I turned it off, my mouse cursor could not leave the game window.
As mentioned, after toggling fullscreen on and off, my cursor was stuck in the game window.
