I confirm:
- that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
- that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.
Symptoms
Poor Performance - to get about the same Framerate that I get on Windows with Ultra Settings, I have to drop them down to Medium on Linux. It's a huge difference in visual fidelity.
The game sometimes crashed. But it's very ocasional, so it's not easy to reproduce, it crashed about 3 times in 5 hours of paytime.

Reproduction
- Start the game
- Set graphics settings to Ultra
- Observe unplayable Framerate
- Drop Settings to Medium
- Game becomes playable but looks really bad
- Run game on same Hardware on Windows
- Game is really playable on Ultra using the same Hardware

Research direction
Start with the attached steam-1422130.tar.gz Proton log and the linked system information report, then follow the listed reproduction steps using Ultra and Medium settings. Done would require identifying a reproducible cause for the performance difference or occasional crashes and demonstrating an improvement, but the report names no source file or test.
