What’s wrong with it? That’s the version I’m playing, and I haven’t had any problems whatsoever. It’s been great.
Every time I go into a menu and back out, be it the journal, map, or inventory, the framerate just falls apart entirely, and I can only fix it by restarting.
Performance also drastically lowers when approaching certain computer terminals in the world, down to the point where the word slideshow is a perfectly appropriate description.
Now granted, I’m playing on Linux, and most other Linux users on ProtonDB seem to have these issues too.
According to a few benchmarks on YT, the performance in general is a lot lower than the original version, while not doing nearly enough in terms of graphics to warrant it.
Like, I know my GTX 970 is fairly old at this point, but there’s other games with the same or even more advanced graphics that run considerably better on my hardware.
That being said, I do enjoy the core game. I just wish I could find a way to solve these issues.
First I used Proton GE 8-25, then 8-27, but it didn’t make a difference.
However, I’ve moved the game to my Windows drive in the meantime, and it runs flawlessly there. Which means the problem is not the game itself, so maybe Wine/Proton will be able to fix these issues some day.
(The Spacers Choice Edition Epic gave away some time ago is also fully DRM-free btw. You can run it directly from the executable, no launcher or authentication required. In fact, I’ve found that many of those Epic freebies I got over the last few years are DRM-free. I’m basically a legal, official pirate at that point.)
