Game shows a fatal error message on startup with any available Proton version I have tried.
DXVK_HDR=1 PROTON_ENABLE_AMD_AGS=1 gamescope --display-index 1 --steam -w 3440 -h 1440 -W 3440 -H 1440 -f --force-grab-cursor --adaptive-sync --hdr-enabled -- gamemoderun %command%
Without the gamescope settings I am using, the game would immediately crash when trying to open, I suspect due to an issue with the compositor.
With the gamescope settings, unless you use --force-grab-cursor your view will lock if you mouse over too far in one direction. This setting fixes that.
Based on other reports here, others are able to start the game without having to go to the lengths I have.
Additionally, I managed to get it so that the HDR option is enabled, but the game looks better without it likely because I missed some setting somewhere.
gamescope --display-index 0 --steam --force-grab-cursor -r 144 -f -w 3440 -h 1440 -W 3440 -H 1440 -- %command%
On multiple monitors cursor escapes screen and scrolling the map in that direction is hard. gamescope fixes this issue.
Restricting cursor to the game screen is only possible with using gamescope, and without it the game is hard to navigate.
Some shaders aren't being applied (particularly lighting and shadow related), so the game looks like it's made of clay. Running all settings on high/ultra in game.
Lower frames (40-60) than I would get running natively on Windows (80-100).
Game runs. You need to use Proton 5.x however, otherwise it won't install.
Installing can be a pain. If it complains about disk space, try switching to Proton 5.x (this worked for me, then switched to latest after the game was installed}
The only thing missing from the Windows experience is Minion for downloading and managing addons (which does not support Linux}. The alternative I'm using is https://github.com/Trojan295/eso-addons aand I'm very satirfied that I've been able to make the full switch.
