Underrail on Linux guide

-Proton. I use GE-Proton, which worked best for me. You can try other ones, otherwise just use latest GE version.
-Download protontricks. Run these commands:
protontricks 250520 dotnet452
protontricks 250520 xna40
That will fix some things or something, i don't know. Just do it.
-To fix lagging mouse add this to your command line:
DXVK_ASYNC=1
With this command my mouse in underrail on linux was nice and the world was happy.
-IF you have unplayable stutters after some playtime download gamemode via your package manager and add this to your command line:
LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib/libgamemodeauto.so.0"
I don't know what it is, i don't want to know(manual preload of your gamemode bla bla bla). This jaja-thing fixes stuff. oKa'y??  *It also fixes this problem across all games running via proton!
-MAKE SURE that in game settings option "Sprite Target Mask" is CHEKED. or you gonna have a bad time
-Try disabling vsync, on my end game started run better. *I don't have forced composition ON and didn't had any visual problems.

I'm grateful for this post - that the topic is brought up in general.
With Win10 already on it's last lap, I now turned towards the idea of switching to Linux instead of turning my computer into an AI-based data stealing machine with Win11.

I have zero experience with Linux, thus thinking on having Mint, or simply SteamOS, for the latter probably having zero issues with games. Have you tried those and how they fare in comparison to what you suggested?

Mint - yes, SteamOS(It's basically Arch) - no. It doesn't matter what distro you'll be using, they all the same. You can, for example, install arch distro, download steam and turn on steam-included version of proton, most of the games will run just like that, out of the box. Additional configuration will be needed only for specifically arch itself in this case. GPU drivers installation is most often just copy-paste one command line.

Pick Mint if you want most things already configured for you from the start, but know that it won't save you from some problems. Tho fixes are there on the net and it takes 5sec-10min to fix most of stuff and forget about it for eternity.
In short, just know that you'll be fine, most common problems with gaming on linux solved long ago.

Also, if you will have some transparency problems with custom portraits in Underrail on linux, try decompressing .png file.

I play on Gentoo with Awesome window manager and Nvidia GPU and have zero problems, just so you know.
