Set Launch options
The end scene was a bit wonky, with artifacts on Isaacs model.
The mouse input sensitivity happened to be inconsistent, occasionally happening to be too low or too high.
Every 3rd-ish time tabbing out of the game, the time I tabbed back in, the Game just blackscreened and I needed to restart it.
I guess the Problems I had would occur on a Windows machine as well if not worse. I heard from plenty of people, where the game crashed at launch due to the CPU Core problem. But my machine just launched the game out of the box and it was playable.
I turned VSync off to get rid of the 30fps lock. Although other reports read that physics happen to be wonky when doing this, I hadn't had any problems regarding the usual collision wonkyness these old games tend to have.
If you encounter serious problems with the physics, just use the launch option for the fps limit and set it to your monitors refresh rate.
DXVK_FRAME_RATE=[refresh rate] %command%
Hate the fact that it hard crashes from time to time without any symptoms like lag or something. Ruins progress of entire missions.
%command% --use-d3d11
white frame around the window in windowed fullscreen, fullscreen gives black screen
After mission summary screen it goes to blackscreen and needed to be restarted
hard crashes occasionally
You might want to run it in borderless fullscreen but with the white frame around your window. Didn't bother me after a few minutes.
VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr11,dxr PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 PROTON_ENABLE_NGX_UPDATER=1 %command% --use-d3d11
A persistent white frame around my screen when using borderless fullscreen.
Crashes when ALT+Tabbing out from fullscreen, does not happen on borderless fullscreen.
wonkyness in windowed mode, such as buttons are not where they are displayed
The tech test showed, that even with WINE this game has no drawbacks and runs smoothly with no other issues as described so far. Amazing for just a tech test.
It works... as long as it works. But it's a really tough time if it's a 50% chance of the game crashing when playing even a minor cutscene.
FPS may drop heavily from 144+ to <5 during cutscences independently from graphical settings until restart. Often results in a crash.
Crashes very often during cutscenes.
