Videos play poorly, including the main menu which is some sort of video, I think this can probably be fixed by installing a codec pack as I did this on Agarest War and it works much better, videos play well.
Because of resolution issues I emulated a desktop so it could play in a window.
Controller works intermittently, keyboard/mouse seems best, although a bit wonky. Still, consistency is better than intermittent weirdness.
protontricks directshow d3dx9_42 d3dx9_43, use shell option to install KLite Mega Codec Pack. Videos and everything work fine. Might not require everything I installed, this was first attempt as I figured it could work based on experience with similar games
When the videos were playing at the beginning, I couldn't click anything or the screen would minimize. They worked fine as long as I left it alone, and the minimization bug stopped when gameplay started.
The minimization bug also affects the controller, so you have to kind of wait for the videos to play out.
Probably not, typical gamers don't use linux because it requires tweaks, sadly. There was some inconvenience.
I had to use Lutris and wine steam. I couldn't get the game past the unable to get key with linux version of steam, even with the sed command line, which I verified worked as expected by reviewing the appinfo.vdf, but it didn't correct the issue for some reason as others advised.
Used custom wine steam 64 bit prefix that I use for games that don't work out of the box with protonU
Occassional, but not huge issues
Playstation 4 controller works fine, but the XBox One controller wouldn't let me map controls as it had something stuck going down constantly so I couldn't edit anything

I had to use custom launcher https://bibber.eu/downloads/cnc-ultimate-collection-launchers/ as I have the Origin Ultimate Collection and it just doesn't work with the built-in launcher with any version of Proton or wine I tried. Error was completely unhelpful page fault
Ridiculous - same steps people describe - much different results
I used the Lutris installer. It loads the launcher, but the game says I don't have latest direct X.
I then tried manual installing with a guide. Same thing at the end, even after using winetricks to install directx9/etc. I tried disabling direct x 11 (seems not everyone needs to do this) and that didn't fix it either.
I had issues with the launcher like others described, I did get through those with their help, but one time it flipped the launcher from trial mode to registration mode so I had to re-download the setup. It was a miserable, awful experience and so I guess this game is just for windows for me.

Some hitching, improved by using SSD install
Graphics were completely garbled to hell
Does not work on nvidia 535 series driver, considering trying 550.78, was on 535 for hyprland as it's my main WM due to flickering issues, ugh delayed explicit sync driver :)

Only when I tried to enable frame generation, but it wasn't really needed, I'm getting 100 fps with DLSS quality mode now that I turned off dynamic resolution, it seems to only slow things for me, this is with a 4090 though.
I had a previous failed attempt to run the game with 535 driver, it won't work with that, and you need that for wayland/hyprland to be useable until explicit sync support is in, so I switched to 550 series driver and X11, but... I miss hyprland already.
It should probably work just fine on AMD (a guess) or on Nvidia if you use X11 and are on 550 series already.
Error log shows exception raised after cpu context non-x64, fails to launch

Occurs relatively early in launch process, graphics never load
Proton-6.21-GE-2
I launched with Proton Experimental Initially, that crashed on launch, but the switch to 6.21-GE2 after that fixed it (Injustice 1 requires the opposite switch)
Launcher Work, Game Crashes After Displaying Logos On Startup - Probable GameGuard issue.
I couldn't save - but I resolved this by creating the folders manually under steamuser, Saved Games, Respawn, JediFallenOrder
Using Proton-GE-5.11 for MF support
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/827 was helpful to get the WINEDLLOVERRIDES tip, and this fix worked for Zestiria as well
For the most part, outside of stutters, performance is excellent, and the stutters are really not a problem in this type of game at all.
(none)
Frame drops are probably higher than I'd see in windows, occasionally stutters
The only tinkering I did was to symlink in the various save files to allow me to start the game with the previous game bonus items. In dolphin this is very easy, you just drag and drop and then request it to symlink the folder from the previous game compatdata path.
The exception was that I had completed the fan translation for Azure/Zero before there was any talk of localizing them, and on the saves for those games I had to rename files, there is a wiki that will help you do this if you google search for it and it worked perfectly. I just had to have the Zero files in Zero and Azure files in Ao along with the subfolders renamed as wiki advises.
The game launches and mouse works but keyboard and controller do not
Not playable in current state on the official English patch. At least not in hyprland. I'm going to try again under X11.

It works fine on X11, (i3), but not so much on hyprland (wayland).
