As per title, I am currently playing on Linux using Proton GE Custom latest version (8.27 but also tested 8.25).

My experience is the following.

Specs

  • Ryzen 7 7730U (8c/16t) Laptop
  • 16GB RAM (14 RAM + 2 VRAM)
  • Decent performance SSD
  • Ubuntu Linux 23.10 (with Xanmod 6.7 x64v3 Kernel)
  • Wayland

Experience

  • Could not test anything above Low settings due to severe stutter even in the menu and 95% RAM which lead to PC being stuck

  • At low settings with different resolutions (from 720 to fullscreen 1080) i have 80-85% RAM usage (starting from a 21% base load) and 25-ish FPS performances

Workarounds

  • Once you get the game installed, add it to Steam as a non steam game pointing directly to the game .exe, compatibility forced to Proton GE or Proton Experimental
  • If it gives you some Visual C++ dependencies error, use ProtonTrick to install it in the Steam prefix
  • I did not find any performance tips and tricks

Conclusion

While being playable, I feel that the game can see huge improvements on Linux. However, I think there is also a lot of telemetry (local or remote) / logging in the mix as every pre-release version has (looking at you My Time At Sandrock) and probably the graphics part (especially the engine part) needs to receive some improvements too, so I bet in about 1 month we will see a steady 40-ish FPS with those settings

Cheers

Didn't have any problems installing or playing the game on high settings. My proton is set to experimental, but other than that, it's all default.
