Finished game. Zero issues.

Uncapping frame rate in ini did not seem to produce identical results as on windows
The game was constantly hovering around 55fps on 1080p. Identical settings run at 1440p/4k with 70% FSR scale at a stable 60 on the same machine with windows,
It's absolutely playable, but the stuttering really takes you out of the cinematic vibe this game in particular is going for. The performance difference between proton and actual windows is very large. Played through 4 or 5 chapters with proton.
Took ~3 hours of trying various proton fixes and settings before landing on one that worked, for a game I usually play 15-30 minutes.
I was getting errors about missing properties/resources.xml on proton hotfix. Using protontricks, I a) set it to Windows 7 compatability and b) Emulated a virtual desktop. After that the game launched fine. I needed to toggle the full screen option a bit (but in game and my WM, hyprland) but eventually the game ran full screen, no slow down, 3D acceleration on.
I will be testing on my gaming rig latter to confirm if this works outside of Hyprland as well.
When using proton tricks, I had to control the virtual desktop and in-game full screen separately. Once fiddled with, the game did work in full screen complete with mouse capture.
The fiddling with wine configs for a basic game is a lot. If I didnt already love peggle, it wouldnt be worth the hassle. Would not buy.
In winecrf, set compat to Win 7 and enable virtual desktop emulation.
Menus were kinda crooked like the buttons were sliced up and not quite alligned. Toggling full screen off and back on seems to fix it, but much be done each launch.
Required to full screen the virtual desktop via protontricks and through the in-game menu separately.
This test was done in KDE. I could NOT run this off a 2nd drive, it had to be on my main linux partition. Running with all other settings the same off another drive gave errors relating to properties/reousrces.xml not being found.
