Glitchy, but it's Square Enix's fault, not Proton's

Tinker Steps:Custom Proton: GE-Proton7-27

Significant Bugs:Yes

Using the default Proton Experimental, I encountered long freezes at a couple of different points. These were consistent points between different sessions, and seemed to line up with loading new areas. They would persist for several minutes, but the game would eventually continue.

Since switching to ProtonGE, I've had no issues. At least none that aren't present on Windows natively.

If Square Enix is as serious as they sound about conitnuing to patch this game, it'll be an all-around great experience. Until then... play the original.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines

Just like with Windows, you have to use the Unofficial Patch to play this game.

Tinker Steps:Set launch options

"/var/home/username/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Vampire The Masquerade - Bloodlines/Loader.exe"

In order to install the unofficial patch, I added the installer as a non-steam game. I then copied "vampires.exe" into the unofficial patch's compatdata folder. Specifically, inside of the compatdata folder is a virtual C:\ drive folder called "c_drive" that the program can see. I just added a "Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Vampire the Masquerade - Bloodlines" folder like the program would expect to see within there, then copied the "vampires.exe" file into that folder so it looked legit to the installer.

After the installer was done, I copied the dumped contents from the compatdata folder into the real "steamapps/common/vampire the masquerade - bloodlines" folder.

The launch settings tell Steam to use the Linux-optimized "launcher.exe" program. It'll still work mostly if you do nothing, but there are some small issues that'll complain and tell you to use the "launcher.exe" because you're in a virtual environment on Linux.
