Tinker Steps:Custom Proton: GE-Proton9-11, Set launch options, protontricks

Haoplay version:

Add the installer as a non-steam game.
Set compatibility to Proton-GE 9.11.
Change the target path to PCLauncher.exe in steam/steamapps/compatdata/[number].
Install webview2 from here using protontricks - uninstaller.
Open Protontricks - Change settings.
Check renderer=gdi and click OK.
Now use Protontricks - Run winecfg, select msedgewebview2.exe and set it to Windows 7.
Run the launcher and install the game.
Change target to GF2_Exilium.exe.

Graphics:Other

Game is rendered at a lower resolution on higher resolution displays (4K and Supewide, maybe 1440p+ Ultrawide too). FSR upscaling (gamescope) helps.

Significant Bugs:

Webview2 dependency for Haoplay makes it not work out of the box.
Clicking in the main menu to login does not work, use third button on left hand side.
Cursor is invisible for webpages, workaround: windowmanagerdecorated=n in proton/winetricks under Change settings (this breaks gamescope and turns window borders ugly).

Lutris script is available here.
For the most up-to-date work-arounds, see the original reddit post, also contains instructions for Bottles.

Fix launch issue: Downgrade to Direct Storage 1.2.2 with either this mod or NuGet package.
Install REFramework and enable Loose File Loader.
Fix Texture Stutter:
- Download mod and run with proton(tricks) or compile from source.
- Run with:
  - re_chunk_000.pak.sub_000.pak with False/True and rename new file to re_chunk_000.pak.sub_000.pak.patch_003.pak
  - re_chunk_000.pak.sub_000.pak.patch_002.pak with False/True and rename new file to re_chunk_000.pak.sub_000.pak.patch_004.pak
  - (Optional) dlc/re_dlc_stm_3308900.pak.sub_000.pak with True/True and rename new file to re_chunk_000.pak.sub_000.pak.patch_005.pak and place in base game dir

Performance:Significant Performance Problems

Random stuttering due to texture compression, especially noticable with High-Res Texture Pack DLC installed.

Significant Bugs:

Game doesn't launch with DirectStorage v1.2.3, downgrade to v1.2.2.
