Worked out of the box. Didn't try online.
Everything worked out of the box. Low FPS sometimes, unsure if it's something Windows has as well, but expected given it's early access. Completed both maps with no issues or crashes. Massive lag when choosing a weapon for the first time, though.
For the game to continue past the invalid configuration message, you need to instal mcf42 through protontricks:
protontricks 825730 mcf42
If you want the game to run at a resolution higher than 1024x768, you need the HD patch mod, and for it to work you need to install mcf140:
protontricks 825730 mcf140
Sound effects work fine. Music is MIDI, but even if MIDI is set up in your system, it works fine then bugs from time to time. Better to play your own music or play the music from the game files with a music player.
Without the HD patch, the menu button hitbox is to the right of the visible button. In-game works fine though. The HD patch fixes this.
For the HD patch to work, you have to extract the contents of the zip to the game root folder, and run TzarSettings.exe before running the game through TzarRunner.exe inside the resolutions folder. To do so I renamed the original Tzar.exe to something else, and renamed TzarSettings.exe to Tzar.exe, ran the game through steam, changed the name back to TzarSettings.exe, and finally created a symbolic link to TzarRunner.exe named Tzar.exe
To do so just open the game files from steam, right click and open a terminal in that folder, and paste this:
ln -s ./resolutions/TzarRunner.exe Tzar.exe
