can start game only in window mode, can't change resolution !
The game does not start in any of the Proton 9, experimental, nor hotfix. Is a resolution problem. Change the LocalPrefs.txt DisplayModeWindowMode to 0. Then the game will start in window mode. Next problem, is you can't change the resolution to stretch fullscreen, since the game does not have "fullscreen" option. only has "window" and "windowed fullscreen". When choose "windowed fullscreen" the resolution is locked to desktop resolution. If desktop is 4k, cannot change to anything lower, unless you lower the desktop resolution. What is this rubbish??? should refund the game.
gamescope -b -f -h 1440 %command%
may happen with DLSS on and especially Ray tracing on.
Fullscreen cannot change resolution. Fortunately, Linux has a workaround, use gamescope to set playable resolution
can't use ray tracing, causes stuttering. May be not make significant visual diffiference.
crashes too often with DLSS on either in gameplay or loading areas. Stable play with DLSS off.
Using mentioned workarounds such as gamescope and DLSS off can make the game playable, and workaround existing frequent crash bugs in the game, unable to change resolution.
DX11 plays smooth and still looks great
Need to exit to main menu before changing resolution. Changing resolution in-game may causes problems.
in D3D12, many stuttering. Stuttering situation is worse when Ray tracing even on low. Best use DX11 in the game, without Ray tracing still looks good.
It is hard to see Ray tracing effects in this type of game, since not all areas uses full ray tracing. On low, you see better water reflections and material reflections. Considering there is a huge problem with stuttering in Ray tracing in proton in this game, is better to leave it off. Can use DLSS which improves image quality than without DLSS.
