Install "d3dx9_29" and "dotnet20". After that start the task manager in protontricks and run the "RegisterDLL.bat" as a new task. You'll find this file in steamapps/common/Caesar 4/C4
After that you should be able to play the game via the launcher.
Runs perfectly out of the box. No fullscreen mouse issues or fps issues after 30 minutes.
Works well with Proton 5.0.9. Didn't noticed any issues so far.
Everything is black except GUI. Need to add RADV_PERFTEST=aco %command% as launch command to fix this.
Game seems to loose window focus when switching to Desktop with ALT+TAB. Can be fixed by switching multiple times.
Runs out of the box
If you build a large base you might notice a short stutter every 4-5 seconds while scrolling. It's probably the internal game tick which is causing that.
I had to restart the game 2 times because it crashed while loading the main menu and when I wanted to start a new game. I don't know why tho but after that I was able to play. I experienced one game crash in the character creation menu. I restarted the game, loaded the save and everything went fine from there. After playing for 2.5 hours from there I experienced no further crashes so far.
Besides the initial crashes (which I couldn't reproduce as I played further) everything else seems to be running fine and out of the box.
Runs surprisingly well considering that the game was rushed, unoptimized and abandoned by the devs.
Options in game launcher are not visible but you can start the game by clicking at the start of the white area in the middle of the launcher.
Runs great and smooth for an early access game
Got one occasion where I saw black boxes instead of textures and/or modeled objects when rotating the camera view. Didn't had any influence on the games stability and this issue might be due to early access phase.
