Works perfectly out of the box, as good as on my W10 install

Proton 5.13-1

Black Mesa

Tinker Steps:Switch to experimental

Difficult To Read Text:Yes

Start menu was a bit small, used touch screen to change tabs as it is easier to do so

don't use native, change to proton to avoid lighting issues and better performance

Cult of the Lamb

Runs perfectly!

Frames are dropping a bit in the cult map when it gets crowded, but runs super smoothly otherwise.

Devil May Cry HD Collection

Tinker Steps:Custom Proton: Proton 8.0-5

Audio:Other

FMVs had audio issues. Using the mod at https://www.nexusmods.com/devilmaycryhdcollection/mods/51 fixed the audio but mirrored the image. Switching Proton version to the regular 8.0-5 fixed that part.

Dome Keeper

Difficult To Read Text:Yes

Texts are hard to read, sometimes very hard. Changing the in game scaling/resize option doesn't change anything. My only complaint.

Proton 8.0-5

Fallout 4

Silver

Launch Flags:Disable Esync

Did like everyone, the game works, but the "bComputeShaderDeferredTiledLighting=0" fix... well, didn't fix anything for me

Helltaker

Runs perfectly but touch screen needed for the config window whn launching the game

Secondary Launcher Problem:Yes

A launch screen with options was present, but I was unable to navigate through it via any other inputs than the touch screen.

Config window at the start aside (which required using the touch screen to configure and launch the game), didn't run into any issues.

Same as everyone: Intro and Main menu works well, but it closes when it finishes loading the map. I've tried to switch options on and off in the config, but nothing fixes it.

Gold

So, the latest Proton beta seems to fix it. The game worked flawlessly on my end. I only encountered one minor glitch with the italic fonts in the subs (the survivors subs are not in italic, though, only when someone talks through a radio or something), but apart from that, no problem!

I tried playing it via Steam Play. Seems to work perfectly. I don't see any difference with native linux version, though, so I'd still recommend this version instead.

If you have an Nvidia gpu, you have to disable the fog. But I remember having the issue on Windows too, so... I guess it means the game works exactly like on Windows? :D

Subnautica: Below Zero

Works great, I'm genuinely surprised it works so great, in fact, considering it's still in early access.

Proton 4.11-12

Temtem

Works great, even more since it's in early access. Some finished games don't run so smoothly.

Performance:Slight Performance Problems

The game runs smoothly, but has some frame drops sometimes. Could be HDD related though, I wasn't on an SSD.
