I use the Experimental Proton version in the release day without any issue
Any player can finish the game, just need to install the Media Foundation. When is installed, everything will work fine.
During the game, I faced 4 times where the Game was completely slow. The simple fix was to restart. So, 4 times in 10 hours of gameplay it very acceptable for me. (Even, I think this will happens in Windows too). More details; Some animations and the movies and some very demanding zones (Where the game has forests, rivers, and buildings, and spiritual worlds all in one scene). The rest of the game was completely playable without issues and in a flawless way.
I finished the whole game in 10 hours. The game never finished unexpectedly, I just see some slowness in some videos and very demanding zones, after the restart the slowness was removed. I played with Logitech F710 Controller. I played through the steamlink to streaming the game on my couch. I tried the modern version of Proton but does not work for me. So, I forcing the game to run with the Proton 5.13.6. The game runs without media foundations but the videos can no be played. You need the media foundation to see the videos.
My recommendation is that download the zip file of mf-install. Unzip it and execute the following command in the unzipped folder. Note: The following command is only one line.
PROTON="/home/steam/.steam/steamapps/common/Proton 5.13" WINEPREFIX="/home/steam/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata/758730/pfx" ./mf-install.sh -proton
Now you need to force proton 5.13.6
Secondary click on the game title, click on the compatibility tab, click on the checkbox to force a Proton version, Choose Proton 5.13.6 in the dropdown. Click on close.
Run the game
Enjoy
I played 34 hours, I finished that whole game. Vampyr runs smoothly, no issues, no tweaks just install the game in an EXT4 partition.
I play using Steam Link in my Samsung Smart TV with the App provided by the same Samsung. To Avoid black screen I need to play on windows mode and with a resolution equal or below 2560x1440. On the other hand, I can run the game in 4k in my monitor directly but I like to sit on my couch so I prefer to use Steam Link. Besides, I use a Logitech F710 Controller connected directly to a Hub Usb that goes to the Tv. The game responds well with the controller through SteamLink.
