First 6 levels played almost perfectly. There was some significant lag during the tutorial parts of level 1 though. Not sure if this is Proton or the game though.
The game seems to run fine from my experience. However, UPlay is an absolute infuriation. In order to get the game to work I had to:
- Sign up for a UPlay account.
- Sign into UPlay. At this point, it provided no way to link my Steam account. Launching the game would simply launch UPlay, which then let me know I don't have any games. Additionally, the activation code Steam gave me did not work in UPlay.
- Uninstall Star Trek: Bridge Crew
- Reinstall Star Trek: Bridge Crew
- Sign into UPlay again. This time, it gave me a chance to link my steam account. However, after linking it it still told me I had no games and refused the activation code.
- Uninstall and reinstall again
- This time, after signing into UPlay it recognised the game (automatically - no activation code needed). Note that at each step I had tried signing out of UPlay, quitting, relaunching, and signing back in to no effect.
I'll report back further once I've played the game for a while longer. So far I've spent 10 minutes in the game and about 2 hours getting UPlay not to be stupid. (My fiancee had similar UPlay issues on Windows, so this isn't a Linux incompatibility as far as I can tell)
Update to my report from yesterday:
Once I got the game to run, uPlay is now less of a problem. It still starts every time you start the game and you have to exit it separately (otherwise Steam still thinks the game is running), but the game runs without any issues I've found at all in single-player mode (UX problems in the game notwithstanding - it renders identically to how it renders on Windows). (I haven't tried multiplayer mode yet. Another follow up will come at a later date with multiplayer details.)
Works pretty well, just don't try to switch audio outputs while playing.
Did not work nicely with changing pipewire outputs
