TheDogCatcher: I've just been looking through Proton DB and some people are reporting that the game works with Nvidia cards, however the reports I've seen fail to mention which version of the game they are using so it might be a bit of a long shot but here is a list of launcher setting etc. that might be worth a try:
Proton 7.0-6
GPU : NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970
Driver Version : NVIDIA 535.54.03
Launcher Settings :
VKD3D_FEATURE_LEVEL=12_2 gamemoderun mangohud %command% --launcher-skip -skipStartScreen
Proton 8.0-2
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU
Driver Version : NVIDIA 530.41.03
Launcher Settings :
PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=0 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr11,dxr VKD3D_FEATURE_LEVEL=12_2 %command% --launcher-skip
GE-Proton8-4
GPU : NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070
Driver Version : NVIDIA 530.41.03
Launcher Settings :
PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=0 VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr11 MANGOHUD=1 OBS_VKCAPTURE=1 gamemoderun %command% --intro-skip --launcher-skip --skipStartScreen
Proton Experimental
GPU : NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER
Driver Version : NVIDIA 535.54.03
Launcher Settings :
PROTON_HIDE_NVIDIA_GPU=0 PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 VKD3D_CONFIG=dxr11,dxr VKD3D_FEATURE_LEVEL=12_2 %command% --launcher-skip --intro-skip -skipStartScreen
All of these reports are from the last 3 weeks so there's a chance that something here might work if you have 1.62 or later installed.
If you do manage to stop the freezes please let us know.
Linux users can spare themselves the time of trying the above suggestion. I've spent an unfortunate amount of time trying all of this now on both Lutris and Steam to no avail. The simple fact is that the game since 1.6 is broken for us.Proton 7.0-6
