Works great out of the box!
You can "switch" the resolution, but it does not change. Fullscreen doesn't work and if you really wanted to change the resolution to something lower than your monitor's native resolution, you would have to play in windowed mode.
Kernel level anti-cheat added. BORKED, will not launch
Thanks EA! Screw millions of Steam Deck users and millions of Linux desktop users. We need to add kernel level anti-cheat to this 8 year old game NOW!
It runs. It's majorly disappointing that you can't rebind controllers without having to tinker a ton.
You cannot rebind the controller correctly. For instance, I have an Xbox controller connected and whenever I hit a button to rebind it, it will call the button, for instance, "BUTTON3" instead of the corresponding button. This means that the game effectively doesn't recognize custom binds on Linux. Works fine on Windows.
Game takes fairly long after getting past the loading screen to become playable. The starter vehicle will be invisible and the map will be low detail until it slowly loads. Afterwards the game runs fine though.
Massive performance degredation on a 11 year old game.
About 50 FPS. I used to get 150 ++ on Windows.
Terrible performance. Weird issues. How is this "native?" "Native" is the only option, considering Proton won't even start the game.

Sound would only come out from my monitor, had to use "-sdlaudiodriver pipewire" to listen through headphones.
Weird effect on throwables
Horrific performance. I don't have a wonderfully powerful computer, but this game literally runs worse than Red Dead Redemption 2. I get about 30 FPS...
Runs perfectly overall.
The menu and loading will take pretty long the first time you boot up the game. After that it's smooth sailing.
Textures will only render correctly around a city block from the player's spawn. If you drive any further than that, the textures heavily degrade and the game crashes.
A ~40% performance decrease (80 FPS on Windows to ~48 FPS on Linux)
Cannot play the game any further than from wherever the player spawns.
Rockstar Games Launcher loads forever. The farthest I got was the GTA V executable popping up, black screen, then disappearing.
You generally have to launch this game through the command line with wine or go to the game folder and run it through wine that way.
Very noticeable quality degradation. It even sounds worse the the original Half-Life! It has to do with Proton, because Wine runs it fine without any quality degradation.
Changing resolution would sometimes crash the game.
Proton does not work with this game.
The game works perfectly fine, the experience is 1:1 with Windows.
All default settings, no tinkering and the default version of Proton enabled by Steam. Just click install and play.
I had to change the settings via the Settings.xml file because the game was detecting that half my VRAM was used by other programs and would not allow me to change my settings.
Works in all of its godawful glory, just like in Windows.
