performance issues and freezes as well as using protontricks to add other libraries is not beginner friendly.
you need to use protontricks to install dx9_29 and don net 2.0 you also need to use protontricks to use the task manager to run the Registerdll.bat file. A tip is to create another steam library like steam_extra in your home drive where it is not hidden, install game there. I got it to run the game and get to menu, loaded a game window it lasts couple of minutes before it freezes the whole game. your best bet is to use the Lutris installer as game functions in Wine v3.12 | in proton game has perfomance issues.
use protontricks - -gui and install dot net 2 and dx9_29 i had issues with installing vc ++
game will freeze after 1min when you start to build objects
use Lutris as it installs and plays you may need to tweak it by running the registerdll.bat file and make sure it is using wine v3.12
Slowness until I changed the graphics settings to low or medium
game froze on menu after continue had been done and game ended. tried to continue again and crashed at menu
Enabled Virtual Desktop resolution.
Going fullscreen would choose my second monitor. so I enabled virtual desktop to keep it from switching monitors. works fine in fullscreen.
Hardware dependent, older slower computers may have issues
occasional glitch with npcs stuttering, grain pattern if set to medium resolution.
Slow at first, sped up when motion blur turned off
Works well with Proton 6.3-4, logo video does not appear, but does not affect game or game play.
I have tested on medium and High settings with my hardware. It was not slow, High settings work really well.
Added Faudio for the the music and speech dialog in game.
I had issues on Lutris with wine versions before v5x.x
