Had to use Proton 8.0-2, the game refused to launch with experimental or GE8-1
When casting a strategic enchantment spell the game freeze for 3-4secs
Fail to install the launcher, exit with exit status 1603. Can't launch the game.
After renaming the launcher works perfectly, a couple of graphical glitches but nothing too serious. No crash to report after 40+ hours and completed the campaign
Still had the launcher issue for me but once the .exe is replaced everything works properly, no crash nor issues at all.
Didn't noticed any difference with the windows version
Haven't tested multiplayer much (mostly solo) and the ingame voice.
Game run fine, no bug or crash after 4 hours, but you need to bypass the launcher to launch the game.
Game won't launch
Tried with different versions of Proton : 5.21-GE, 6.1-GE-2, 5.13.6.
Didn't got any issue until my game crashed after 4 hours. Didn't tried multiplayer.
Just got one crash in 4 hours
I have many graphic issues (water not rendering etc) on native and game was not starting with proton, since the last hotfix (1.4.1, released 2nd of April) game launch properly (just need to be a bit patient as it take some times to load).
2.0 : Game won't launch on Proton and have game-breaking bugs with native
On native a bug make levies only get one type of unit which can make the game almost unplayable for some cultures (hellenic will only get archer until you unlock legion, forcing you to rely on mercenaries).
Couldn't get the game working with any version of proton (3.X, 4.X, 5.X, 6.1-GE-2).
As said, issue with cinematics a bit annoying, but nothing game breaking. Just had to alt-tab youtube between two missions.
Cutscenes freeze randomly and I have to hit escape to continue the campaign, even with Proton 5.21-GE-1 for me, not a major issue as all cinematics are available on youtube but a bit annoying.
Tried 7.0.6, experimental, GE and many of different launch option here the game refuse to start
Got a few crashes and fps drop issues but the game is still fully playable and enjoyable in my opinion.
VKD3D_DISABLE_EXTENSIONS=VK_EXT_mesh_shader PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME="NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU" gamemoderun %command%
Sometimes the fps drop seriously
If the game won't start at all without any error and have a laptop with Nvidia + Intel GPU you probably need the DXVK_FILTER_DEVICE_NAME option with the correct device name, eitherway the game will try to start with the intel GPU and crash on launch. (thanks a lot Kellzap for the solution, see his report for more details).
Steam flag the game as running but nothing happens, couldn't find anything in the logs.
Tested with proton 5.9-GE-7 and 5.13-1
Just made a quick 30min run, no crash or anything to report so far. Game only launch under proton 5.13-1 for me.
Since the last steam linux runtime update I can finally launch the game with proton 5.13-1, tested also with 4.11-3 and 5.9GE-8 but still have the same issue (launcher won't display).
The performance hit unfortunately prevent to reach the late game, hopefully this will be fixed soon.
Game run ok while playing on earth but as soon as we hit mid-game and start to play with habs/fleets perfs drop too much for the game to be enjoyable anymore.
Game run fine for the first phases but be prepared to be forced to reboot the game regulary once you start to reach the mid-game.
Game extremly buggy on native, won't launch with Proton
As the title said, tried with the native version first, got 3 freeze which forced me to hard reboot in 2 hours, then tried to switch to proton : game won't even launch.
