Performance is quite weak even with a pretty beefy system. Have to run it on medium. Distracting visual artifacts obscure view. Game is playable, but not enjoyably so.
Works just about perfect. I did experience 2 or 3 crashes on the playthrough, but nothing that would surprise me playing natively on Windows.
I followed this redditor's solution. The customDeviceId and customVendorId fix was necessary, otherwise the game consistently kept crashing to desktop after about 15-20 mins of play. I do still observe this weird behaviour where, when you open the main menu while in-game, the framerate gradually drops to the low 10s. Goes away as you close the menu and continue playing. Gameplay itself seems smooth.
Had problems with the game crashing after 5-15 mins of play. Applying the same fix as described in the below reddit post for fixing similar issues with GTA V fixed it for me. Now, unlike GTA V, the game still does crash on the rare occasion - on longer sessions. But I've had stable sessions with no problems over 5 h in length. https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/99ikj4/gta_v_is_running_pretty_well_for_me_in_proton/e5d5191/
Note that game updates can clear the steam app launch options value which can cause confusion.
Huzzah! After the latest proton update to 4.11-4, the mouse spazzing issue seems to have been solved. Sadly, the performance is still not up to snuff. The framerate is quite unstable. So keep in mind you're going to need a fairly beefy machine. And then still won't be able to comfortably run this @ Ultra settings. I'm getting 30-50 fps @very high and 40-70 @high. Further down the settings gradient you hit diminishing returns, the potato setting barely pushes into the low 90s and only at moments, generally fluctuating between 50-90. Note that some options, e.g., the render scale option, actually decrease performance at lower values, rather than increasing it, so you may want to tinker with individual options.
A few very rare bugs in-game, like key-down states getting stuck. But it's not clear that these aren't inherent to the game.
