Crashes on launch
No errors displayed. It just says it's starting and then... doesn't.
%command% -dx11 -d3d11
Without tinkering, the game struggled to maintain even 10 fps at lowest graphics settings. According to a previous reviewer, the problem is with Vulkan dx12 that performs poorly on Intel Alchemist GPU's. Adding these launch options completely resolved the problem and the game now works smooth as butter on high-quality graphics.
-vulkan
Occasionally the game does not register input after alt+tab away and back. This is resolved by simply changing focus away and back another time.
Without -vulkan, the game crashed on launch after showing the splash screen. -USEALLCORES flag caused the game to crash when starting a new game.
Tried lots of combinations of commands, settings, and Proton versions. Nothing worked.
Various as suggested by other posters
Did not see initial splash screen or black screen. GPU shows activity for several seconds, system slows sluggish responses to inputs, and then game process exits.
I previously reported this game as unplayable, crashing on launch. Once I disabled CPU integrated graphics in the UEFI settings this was resolved and the game ran flawlessly. This setting had no effect on Linux-native games (my monitors are plugged directly into the GPU), but broke Proton/SteamPlay compatibility.
