stuttering
The game only had its splash screen and a black window on Proton Experimental. Downgrading to Proton 6.3 fixed this issue. The game has some issues with stuttering, a little more than on Windows.
Heavy stuttering when entering new areas
Crashing with some mods after the latest update
I needed to switch from Proton Experimental to 6.3 because the game would not launch otherwise.
There is some heavy stuttering when entering a new area but it goes away eventually.
After the latest update, some of my mods would keep the game from starting. I'm not sure if this also happens on Windows. If you had mods installed before and the game is now crashing, I suggest removing them all and reinstalling one by one.
NVIDIA borked
The game would ran (poorly) on Intel integrated graphics, but would only show a black window on my NVIDIA card.
Had to alt-tab out and back in for the keyboard to work
Significant stutter when entering a new area for the first time
Workshop mods were not showing up, so I had to manually symlink steamapps/workshop/content/253230 to steamapps/common/HatinTime/HatinTimeGame/Mods
Eventually freezes my entire system
Freezes my entire system eventually
On both native and through Proton, the game eventually freezes my entire system after playing for a while. I can't alt-f4, alt-tab, or go into a TTY, so I have to hold the power button and restart my computer.
Hotbar scrolling was not sensitive enough on native. Running with Proton Experimental fixed this. I didn't notice a difference in performance.
Runs perfectly once, then never starts again
If your monitor is over 60Hz, you will need to cap your fps to avoid stuttering by changing the launch options to "DXVK_FRAME_RATE=60 %command%" as per the instructions on the PC Gaming Wiki.

Very low fps out of the box despite meeting recommended hardware. Needed to set graphics to low and lower resolution scale.
Crashes on A Grave Mystery mission
I tried to compare performace with Windows but it crashes every time I load a save. It's at least playable on Proton for me.
PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1
Use PROTON_NO_ESYNC=1 to fix the audio. Otherwise, the game runs great. I was able to use mods through HedgeModManager with this guide.
Runs fine with minor stuttering
stuttering
The game runs fine and no longer requires the PROTON_NO_ESYNC flag to fix the audio on Proton Experimental. There is, however, a bug with shadows on Proton 6.3.
DXVK_FRAME_RATE=60 %command%
I had to use Proton GE and disable Steam Input to get controllers to work (it seems this game doesn't support Steam Input).
Some poor visual effects were fixed by installing Team Sonic Racing 3DFix.
I also capped the game to 60FPS with the launch option DXVK_FRAME_RATE=60 %command% because it would stutter otherwise (a problem also present on Windows).

Used to install Mod Organizer
NPC audio echo indoors
Missing NPC audio was fixed by running with Proton GE.
I installed mods with Mod Organizer 2. With protontricks installed, run the installer with protontricks -c 'wine [path to installer].exe' 489830. To launch it, change the launch options on Steam to '[path to Proton GE]/proton' waitforexitandrun '[path to Steam]/steamapps/compatdata/489830/pfx/drive_c/Modding/MO2/ModOrganizer.exe'; echo %command%. This way, clicking Play on Steam will launch MO2, from which you can manage mods and launch the game.
SKSE (required by some mods) also worked after selecting it in MO2.
ENB (for graphical improvements) also works as long as the provided Linux-specific DLL is used.

Protontricks to install Mod Organizer
NPC audio plays twice indoors
Missing NPC audio was fixed by running with Proton GE.
I installed mods with Mod Organizer 2. First add a symlink to your Steam library to the wine prefix with ln -s '[path to Steam]/steamapps/common' '[path to Steam]/steamapps/compatdata/489830/pfx/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps'. With protontricks installed, run the installer with protontricks -c 'wine [path to installer].exe' 489830. To launch it, change the launch options on Steam to '[path to Proton GE]/proton' waitforexitandrun '[path to Steam]/steamapps/compatdata/489830/pfx/drive_c/Modding/MO2/ModOrganizer.exe'; echo %command%. This way, clicking Play on Steam will launch MO2, from which you can manage mods and launch the game.

Script
The game runs great after following these instructions to fix the cutscenes: https://www.reddit.com/r/wine_gaming/comments/q0uh4p/the_great_ace_attorney_chronicles_cutscenes_fix/

The WINEPREFIX should be set to [your steam directory]/steamapps/compatdata/1158850/pfx. You can do so with export WINEPREFIX="[your steam directory]/steamapps/compatdata/1158850/pfx"
I also needed to run the script with Proton instead of Wine with export PROTON="[your steam directory]/steamapps/common/Proton 6.3", and then running the script as ./install-mf64.sh -proton.
I was also able to install dgs_hackfix which allows the game to run at above 30fps: https://github.com/AdmiralCurtiss/dgs_hackfix/releases
I added DINPUT8.dll and dgs.ini in the game directory, but I also needed to add a Wine override. With protontricks installed, run protontricks 1158850 winecfg, click Libraries, and add a new override for dinput8. Then, click OK at the bottom.
