Works well with any proton versions i've tried!
Using vulkan_beta from the beta tab and forcing proton experimental made the game run really well for me. Without tinker the game was either unable to launch or would crash frequently either on the main menu or while launching.
Native version suffers from frequent stutters here and there no matter the graphic setting. Switching to proton seems to fix this issue (most likely due to the OpenGL Vulkan difference)
-windowed -noborder -novid
Created folder in Team Fortress2/tf/custom called "noshaderlinking" which contains two empty files inside of it called "glbaseshaders.cfg" and "glshaders.cfg".
Crashes when trying to run it without some launch options related to fullscreen. Added -windowed -noborder to the launch options which fixed the crash on launch.
Rarely crashes at random.
At the time of writing this, i have to wait for like 30 seconds in the menu so that it can connect to the TF2 coordinator server. This may be flawful only on my part or this could be a valve-side issue at the moment, but just in case i will write it down here nonetheless. Definitely not the end of the world, but can get annoying at times.
In my experience, without tinker TF2 was completely unplayable. Not having "-windowed -noborder" in the launch options would result the game crashing on launch. I was also getting crashes when i tried to queue into a match. Creating a folder called "noshaderlinking" in the tf/custom directory then adding two empty files called "glbaseshaders.cfg" and "glshaders.cfg" inside of it has fixed the crash while queuing for me.
Borderless mode sometimes doesn't render in fullscreen. If that's the case switch back to fullscreen and then to borderless again which fixed it for me.
Works pretty much flawlessly. Just make sure you switch to the temporary_launcher_workaround beta version. Manually selecting proton versions has made the game either not launch or very unstable for me. Left it up to steam to decide the compatibility tool and it's running really well.
