Pretty bad performance on Proton; runs smoothly on Windows.

Performance:Significant Performance Problems

Dropped quality to potato settings and quartered my display resolution (1280x720 down from 2560x1440) still under 20fps. Playable, but barely. Windows 11 full res and default settings ran ~30fps

protontricks does some stuff for a while then errors out :

I have no idea how to install webview or whatever in wineconfig.

Instability:Frequently

Crashes after loading a save, 0-10 seconds after load. Only started happening with update to OS version 3.4.4

This worked great until I updated the SD 3.4.4 and now it is unplayable on any version of Proton. 100% vanilla no mods.

Finally seems to work with whatever experimental proton version is out as of 2 April 2025. Make sure your config is set to not use DX9.

Performance sucks because the engine sucks

Check your graphics device type and make sure it's set to D3D11 -

gfx_device_type 1; # gfx_device_type , Set device type, 0-D3D9, 1-D3D11, 2-GL3 #
