Workable, but 3rd party patches are needed for NVIDIA to play, at least for now. Occasional crashes for me.

After applying the Pyroveil patch (https://github.com/HansKristian-Work/pyroveil) I was able to get past the menu and into the game. Also small note for Bazzite or maybe other immutable distros, try building Pyroveil in Distrobox. That got Pyroveil working for me. Outside of Distrobox Pyroveil would fail to build on the cmake command, maybe something with the gcc toolchain in Bazzite.
Once in game I experienced a quite a few crashes, that at first I thought was related to VRAM since I'm on a 8GB card. But after a little investigating it seems it was related to the res scale changing. So when the Dynamic res scale changed in the background I would crash, or if I turned the dynamic res scale off and manually changed the TAA or DLSS to a different setting it would crash.
If I don't change my upscaler settings and play normally with Dynamic res scaling off it doesn't have too many problems, just an occasional crash every other hour or so ish? Still haven't played an enormous amout.
From what others have written, the game has less stability issues for other NVIDIA cards but still requires the Pyroveil patch.
Performance could use some work. Avg'd 40FPS on HIGH settings. Tried a few of the Launch Arguments that were suggested by others with NVIDIA gpus. Would not launch with the Launch Arguments to enable DLSS, so I wasn't able to test performance with DLSS. Which is a shame, DLSS is what makes this game playable IMO. MangoHud wasn't able to display GPU info, I don't have the knowledge to make it work. Though it seems others have got it to work.
