Description

It's currently unplayable for me. Did anyone else have any luck with this?

The game crashes to the desktop before the main game menu is displayed.

Specs: Proton 3.7-3, Ubuntu 18.04, NVIDIA Corporation G94GL [Quadro FX 1800] (rev a1)
Full specs: https://gist.github.com/adrianlshaw/13b21eae4d9ad3c6c79474396110feed

Edit: Switched to the latest NVIDIA proprietary drivers and it all works, albeit at a disappointing framerate (for me about 5fps)

Research direction

Start by reviewing the Proton 3.7-3, Ubuntu 18.04, NVIDIA Quadro FX 1800 report and the linked full-specs gist. The report says newer proprietary NVIDIA drivers avoid the startup crash but leave performance near 5 fps; done would require an actionable diagnosis or a change that improves this behavior.
