When a game claims to run natively on Linux, the developer usually means it's designed for Ubuntu, and if you're on an Arch-based system, you might still need the Win/Proton-Copy. Not here. This game runs truly natively—flawlessly from the first click, with zero issues.

Once Human
Tinker Steps:Switch to experimental, Set launch options, Changed configuration, Lutris, Media Foundation DLL, protonfixes, protontricks, winetricks
all listed here on protonDB
Audio:Crackling
Performance:Significant Performance Problems
The game stuttered so severely during action scenes that you got seconds-per-frame instead of the other way around.
Significant Bugs:
After launching, the game takes almost 4 hours in the "Converting DX to Vulkan shaders" phase.
► Multiplayer
Overall (online):Excellent
Summary:
- I tried every trick suggested on ProtonDB.
- Every trick recommended in random forums.
- Turned graphics all the way down. Turned them all the way up.
- Did everything possible to make it somewhat playable.
Conclusion: If you just want to build a house, fine. But if you actually want to play the game—with action, story, and combat—and run into the same issues I did (like the framerate dropping below 1 FPS), you might as well uninstall at this point.
