Great overall, mixed tinkering steps, depends on your distro and hardware. The steps here are for arch linux with hyprland and iwd.
Disable wifi power save, fix mic with pipewire-alsa and wireplumber
Mic broken out of the box
Network stability problems
Mostly ran fine, but microphone was broken OOTB. Installing pipewire-alsa and setting up wireplumber with a duplex profile fixed it. Pavucontrol shows sea of thieves picks up my mic input under the "recording" tab.
If your ping is unreasonably high and the sea/boat is very jittery, wifi powersave might be enabled on your system. You can turn it off with this command;
iw dev wlan0 set power_save off
I recommend setting it up as a udev rule since power save will be re-enabled on reboot. In this file; /etc/udev/rules.d/81-wifi-powersave.rules paste the following;
RUN+="/usr/bin/iw dev $name set power_save off"
If the file doesn't exist, create it. As far as I'm aware the file name has to be specific, (or at least the numbering). Just for safety, name it 81-wifi-powersave.rules. You can check if powersave is disabled by running;
iw dev wlan0 get power_save
Make sure you replace "wlan0" with whatever your network interface is named.
Ran perfectly out of the box for me, no tinkering needed. I'm running Hyprland as my WM, which can sometimes be weird in general, so no surprises there.
PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%
screen tearing
Clicking resets cursor position to center, I think this is just my WM though
fps drops
There is aggressive screen tearing and fps drops without any modifications, I also had a crashing issue, using the launch option to use wine3d solved both for me. I'm running Hyprland on arch linux, other than that no major issues.
