How does it run: 1) Played about 10 hours so far without gameplay or graphical issues.
2) Without setting it to run single-core, I encountered a good amount of stuttering/fast-forward catch-up.
3) Running in single-core is just a little laggy on my test machine, but this machine's from 2013 so your mileage may vary.
Details: 1) Either Lutris or Proton seem to work well
2) Full Screen (default) flickers to a white screen on startup -- switching desktops and then back corrects the issue. Switching to windowed mode fixes the problem.
3a) The game really should be played with a controller. It doesn't support DirectInput, so I used
ds4drv with the following options to emulate an Xbox controller from my DualShock 4:
•
ds4drv --hidraw --emulate-xpad 3b) Alternately, if you're using Lutris, setting a proper SDL2 mapping may also work, as the controller was recognized with Lutris, but the mapping was wrong.
