Force use of Proton or GE-Proton for cutscenes to work correctly
Multiplayer is Peer2Peer so the quality of the session depends on the host and other players.
Followed instructions in other reports to get in-game cinematics to play.
Game will very infrequently freeze, making me force quit it.
Needed to use GE-Proton to have in-game videos play.
Use Steam Tinker Launch as the compatibility tool(you will need to lookup how to get it on your distro), click play, then when the Steam Tinker Launch windows pops up select "MAIN MENU", from the next window there is a row of buttons at the bottom, select "GAME MENU". Up towards the top you should see a "Misc options", in this cataegory check the box to "Use custom command". After that click on the "Custom command" field, it will have "LauncherPatcher.exe" originally selected, navigate up 1 folder to the base game install folder and select "Mafia3DefinitiveEdition.exe". Click "SAVE AND PLAY" and from now on it should skip the broken 2K Launcher.

"/path/to/your/proton/choice" run "path/to/Mafia3DefinitiveEdition.exe" ; killall -9 Mafia3DefinitiveEdition.exe # %command%
Finish filling out launch command to bypass 2K Launcher on startup.
