I started this natively and was actually able to automatically continue the windows game i started a few years ago from the ancient cloud saves that got retained. 10 out of 10 for this :-)
Takes a bit of tinkering and trying different settings (proton etc) but when it works it works good.
Disabled Steam Input in game Properties to have my Stadia Controller detected
Sometimes doesn't start the game and hangs into black screen (80% success rate). Kill process and retry fixes this mostly. If you get into the menu you are good to go.
Using Proton 7.0 (stable) the game fails to connect to the Multiplayer servers. Proton Experimental supposedly fixes this but in experimental my game won't start.
Different proton versions had different results here. Steam Proton 7 (stable) starts (80% of the time) but cant connect to multiplayer servers. Proton GE 7.1 starts (50% of the time) but gives me a warning that I am doing something illegal (EAC goes nuts). Steam Proton Experimental (and bleeding edge) doesn't even start the game.
YMMV on which proton works for you; just try em all.
PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=0 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 %command% -vulkan -USEALLAVAILABLECORES -cpuLoadRebalancing -high -ignorepipelinecache
DLSS didnt work until I changed the startup params
few framedrops initialy; startup params fixed it
Regular crashes on cutscenes when starting the game on regular proton (6.3). Switching to Proton Experimental mostly fixed this (rarely crashed in open world). Since switching to GE 7.1 haven't had a single crash..
Tinkering a bit with the startup params fixed all issues. Game runs smooth as butter now with DLSS and all stuff max. Happy cowboy here :-)
Started a game and played together with a few Windows buddies flawlessly
Zero issues; game starts windowed initially and switches to fullscreen without issues.
