It was a decent experience, if you're running on an Intel iGPU you should set some launch settings to make the game run without slowdowns
( while ! pidof JadeEmpire.exe; do sleep 1; done; sleep 1; taskset -p ffff $(pidof JadeEmpire.exe) ) & PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%
Created an empty SystemInformation.xml file in Jade Empire/Data as well as edited JadeEmpire.ini setting ClampFPS=0
Some textures were warped.
You will need to create an empty file to bypass the configuration program, which always crashes when checking your system's specs and, without any results, it won't allow you to get into the game. If you don't run it using an advanced launch option, it will still be playable with Proton Experimental, but the loading times will be longer and when you get to combat, the game might hang for up to 10 seconds depending on the area you're in. I had no issues with the cutscenes, but in some game areas the textures were warped. Also, editing the ClampFPS option in JadeEmpire.ini will make the game faster and smoother. Trying to run it with an older version of Proton caused even the main menu to be slow on my device.
Game will often crash, sometimes it won't even load some scenes or it can shift to a black screen when you go to the bag. Save often!
PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%
Sometimes choosing some menu options led to a black screen.
Chose OpenGL as the renderer
Needs 2 different proton builds. 999 Runs in the latest Experimental Proton while for VLR you should install Proton 5 to be able to get to the main menu and play it, otherwise it will hang after the Spike Chunsoft logo.
