Hotfix 11 broke the game
I was able to get the game to work by switching to Proton Hotfix!
Patch 4 broke vulkan, hotfix 10 broke the launcher (but still worked using --skip-launcher), and finally hotfix 11 has broken completely the game even using --skip-launcher. It is the launcher that's broken, but hotfix 11 now calls the launcher even when set to skip. When I switched to proton hotfix it currently working fine, but I wonder for how long...
-oldgameui
The game becomes un-loadable around the level "Surface Tension" onward. The game will crash every time it tries to load the menu. The only way to fix it is to use the -oldgameui launch option. Once I had that enable I was able to play the whole game with no other major issues.
It ran ok for the most part (not perfectly, but ok) once the -oldgameui launch option is given. Otherwise it will bork and crash.
Had crashes with GTX 1050, no issues with new graphics card.
I initially started playing the game with a NVIDIA GTX 1050. At the moonhub level the framerate crashed, and then crashed the game. Once I upgraded my graphics card the issues went away and I was able to play the rest of the game fine.
Played well! Only minor joystick issues
Everspace has played fine for me!
When playing with a joystick it sometimes will throw a fit (and lag massively) trying to accept mouse input and joystick input at the same time. The "fix" I found was not to use a mouse at all on the game's main menu.
Runs well out of the box.
I used to have to switch the proton version back to version 7 to get the launcher to work, but now it's working fine on newer versions too! No issues with gameplay, ran flawlessly.
Fails to Launch
gamemoderun %command%
It gives me d3d errors and crashes.
Ran without issues!
Kena Bridge of spriits played flawelessly out of the box for me!
gamemoderun %command%
There is a pretty hefty performance hit compared to the windows version.
I'm kinda surprized it worked as well as it did, given how many mods I am running. I haven't had any glictes/crashes, just slower framerate.
Works flawlessly!
Master of Orion works flawlessly under Proton 8.0-2.
Boots fine, plays smoothly. I haven't encountered any bugs or crashes yet.
No issues whatsoever
Runs flawlessly under proton 8. I havn't experienced any issues at all!
gamemoderun %command%
For the most part it plays fine, but when loading new places it will stutter. When paused for a long time (over 2minutes) for some strange reason the framerate dips to single digits and permanently stays that way. Even when game is resumed. Restarting the game completely fixes it.
There is some ocassional stuttoring. But on the whole it has played ok so far.
I do worry about the EA launcher borking things though, it starts then quits, then starts then quits, the 3rd time the game almost always successfully starts...
DXVK_CONFIG_FILE=$HOME/.steam/dxvk.conf %command% /nolauncher
As others here have already mentioned, the Stardock launcher would freeze my entire desktoip and prevent the game being launched.
Adding the DXVK_CONFIG_FILE=$HOME/.steam/dxvk.conf %command% /nolauncher worked! After that the game played with no issues.
Played flawlessly!
I had no issues getting Below Zero to run flawlessly out of the box.
Game keeps crashing on startup for me.
Tried prior versions of proton, as well as various launch options.
The steam log is showing this:
[ERROR] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'OpenTK.Platform.Windows.WinGLContext' threw an exception. ---> OpenTK.Graphics.GraphicsModeException: The requested GraphicsMode is not supported at OpenTK.Platform.Windows.WinGraphicsMode.SelectGraphicsMode (OpenTK.Graphics.ColorFormat color, System.Int32 depth, System.Int32 stencil, System.Int32 samples, OpenTK.Graphics.ColorFormat accum, System.Int32 buffers, System.Boolean stereo) [0x00068] in <99a181a88d064c1ea8ac3d7855e86d37>:0
I was unable to find any similar situations through a google search. So it may just be my unique situation.
Ran perfectly in windowed mode
It had several different glitches in fullscreen (forgetting settings upon game restart, not displaying) switched to windowed and no issues now.
All in all no issues once I switched it to windowed mode.
Freezes at main menu
I have the same issue with X3 Terran Conflict as well.
Using the PROTON_USE_D9VK=1 launch option I was able to get the intro movie to play (I was able to get X3: Reunion to work with that option as well), but the main screen always freezes.

PROTON_USE_D9VK=1
Using the PROTON_USE_D9VK=1 launch option I was able to get the intro movie to play (I was able to get X3: Reunion to work with that option as well), but the main screen always freezes.
gamemoderun %command%
I was originally playing it off of an NTFS formatted drive and that was painfully slow, switching to ext4 formatting cut the load times by more than half. (That's an issue for other games as well I've noticed)
Once I had switched it to an ext4 formatted dirve it ran fine. No issues so far!
Won't Launch
I can get to the DLC selection menu to choose between Enemy Unkown and the original game. When I click on either the game "launches" but gets stuck in an infinite loop immidiately before the game screen appears.
Tried prior versions or proton, native version, PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 %command%, and so on, nothing worked.
