The game loaded the splash screen, went fullscreen and hung. Went no further than a black screen.
With latest proton or with latest GE, with or without -noeac, made no difference. Had to alt-tab out and kill it.
Game has very poor resolution support. It will let you select native res but it you run ultra wide then the ui will just be broken.
Mouse cursor was lagging massively, making target selection and UI use difficult.
The Rockstar Social Club signup was a complete pain. The mouse cursor would disappear occasionally and there is no keyboard navigation support so this meant killing and restart the game. This is made worse by the pedantry of the username choosing process resulting in me having to go round and round trying to find a suitable user name. Once I got past that, I tried to configure the game and before I could reset the screen resolution to monitor native it was running in 800x600 and was placing a mouse gate blocking the cursor from the right quarter of the screen, preventing me from accepting the screen res change. I restarted and the mouse gate was slightly further right, allowing me to fix the issue. I did notice an oddity in that the key assignment screen would not accept the Enter key as a bound key. I figured this was just because the game reserved it for its own use. Unfortunately this turned out not to be the case. The enter key just doesn't work. This completely wrecks the game, and is the reason for the Borked rating. If you die in game, you end up in an inescapable loop: Retry (Enter) or Return to Menu (Esc). Enter doesn't work and Esc pops up this: Are you sure? Yes (Enter) No (Esc). Again, Enter is broken and Esc takes you back to the previous choice. Kill game time. It's a shame because other than that, I found no issues with the way the game ran on highest graphic settings.
