Slight stuttering in the first few minutes of game. Fine thereafter.
Game runs flawlessly after first few minutes - presumed vulkan shaders loading. Biggest problem was getting TacSpeak to run with this in wine. This is doable! Both TacSpeak and the game needs to be running in the same wine prefix, input needs to be set to voice activation and all Visual C++ runtime versions need to be installed. Here follows a breakdown of how I did it:
In the settings file for tacspeak change input to 'None'. This ensures the keyboard is no longer required for voice inputs.
Via winetricks/protontricks install Visual C++ runtime:
-- select default wineprefix (the one that's running the game)
-- install windows DLL or component
-- install all versions of Visual C++ libraries (all vcrun options)
-- launch both the game and tacspeak in the same container using something like lutris or protontricks
Now game and voice input works flawlessly.
BORKED after updating kernel and Nvidia drivers - worked previously
On CachyOS - game worked perfectly (Platinum) under kernel 6.14 and Nvidia drivers 570. After recent update to kernel 6.15 and Nvidia drivers 575 it no longer launches, irrespective of what version of proton is used. Restoring system snapshot of old kernel and driver allows me to play, but this is not a viable long term solution. Hoping for Nvidia driver patch to fix this issue. Driver 575 has been known to break other games as well.
Had a difficult time getting this to launch. It would crash right after the Easy Anticheat splash screen. This served as a red herring, and I spent hours trying to troubleshoot EAC. Finally tried different proton versions. Reverting to version 8.0-5 fixed it. Finally, native performance with full joystick functionality.
