When picking up weapons for the first time, selecting certain items in the game menu, etc. game freezes for about a second or two
Season 21 seemed to make the game unable to launch on Linux temporarily because of changes to Easy Anti-Cheat (of course). Luckily, Valve pushed out a version of Proton Hotfix that fixes the issue. However, some textures are missing, making some characters all-white and not loading in banners and such, and some actions, such as picking up weapons and selecting game modes causing the game to freeze for about one or two seconds.
Runs even smoother than Windows. With a bit of tinkering, Mega Hack v5 can be installed, and all hacks work, including FPS Bypass.
PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 PROTON_NO_FSYNC=1 mangohud %command%
I tried to use a second monitor to play GD while having something else in the background. My native monitor is 144hz. The second monitor was 60hz. The game would not pass 60 visible FPS, with VSync nor without, with FPS Bypass nor without. So dual monitors probably lock the game's visual FPS to that of the lowest refresh rate of any of the monitors.
Runs like native. Only issue is dual monitor FPS problems.
Doesn't even launch at first, then is extremely stuttery, presumably on newer kernels. Both issues fixable.
Used protontricks to open explorer and install EA App manually
Extreme stuttering---making the game borderline unplayable---because of a new default kernel parameter. Fixed it by running sudo sysctl kernel.split_lock_mitigate=0 in the terminal .
The installer script apparently did not work. I had to install the EA App manually by downloading the setup file and using protontricks to open the explorer, which let me open the setup file and install the app. (I also tried to install corefonts because no text was showing in the installer or the app itself, but I'm not certain it finished, and I don't think it made a difference anyway.)
This let me launch the game, but unfortunately, I was having extremely low FPS and stuttering issues. This is apparently caused by a new(?) kernel setting, split_lock_mitigate, which can be turned off with sudo sysctl kernel.split_lock_mitigate=0, and can also be edited within the kernel parameters to turn it off permanently.
Game works perfectly after that—at least, the single-player. Haven't done multiplayer yet.
Perfect OOTB
Game works perfectly out of the box with Proton 9.0. Was able to log in, transfer account progress, and play multiple matches flawlessly.
