Game runs fine out of the box at the exception of a small framerate bug
Game defaults to 24fps, higher framerate needs to be selected manually from Graphics options. In my testing, anything over 60fps does not work.
Fully playable with Proton Experimental
Textures and geometry would sometimes stay in low LOD. Sometimes they would load back in properly, sometimes not.
Some stutters here and there, not enough to hinder gameplay
Game runs at a stable ~50fps on average on my hardware on all high settings w/fxaa. I would highly recommend the use of Proton Experimental since it doesn't seem to have the "Slow Mode" and audio syncing issues that I have experienced other versions like 6.3.5 and 6.10-GE-1. Only 1 random crash in 20 hrs of playtime.
The game runs perfectly on my hardware.
Load times are sometimes longer than on windows
Needs quite a bit of tinkering to get setup. Once it's set up though, just hit play and it works *almost* everytime
"protontricks 244850 --force dotnet48" Needs to be done with Proton 5.0
Very slight popping noises every now and then
The game really doesn't like losing focus. Sometimes it will let me alt-tab or let my mouse leave the game, other times it won't.
Grass setting needs to be turned off, otherwise it crashes mesa the moment you load into the game. Haven't heard of others experiencing this issue however.
The game crashes randomly, I've had 8+ hour sessions without a single crash. Other times, the game crashed within the first 5 minutes of gameplay. There's no in between. Game always crashes when exiting to desktop, slight annoyance, but doesn't cause any further issues.
Followed the instructions that others have mentionned:
- Reverting to proton 5.0 for the initial installation.
- Run "protontricks 244850 --force dotnet48"
- Apply this patch: https://github.com/Linux74656/SpaceEngineersLinuxPatches
- Switch back to proton stable (At the time of writing, 6.3.8)
- Profit
As for multiplayer: I've hosted and played with other people (3-4 people online at once max). When hosting, the game stutters every now and then causing the other players to lag out until the spike finishes. Its caused some slight desync issues, but otherwise it's completely playable. The lag spikes aren't frequent enough to make it unplayable.
