PCBS on Linux via SteamPlay/Proton

[RoDoX]

Wassup builders?
As the title suggests, I tried to run this game on Linux Mint 19 Tara 64-bit via SteamPlay, which did not end quite well. After launching the game, all I got was a Unity popup with the logo of the game and a progress bar at the bottom. Once it reached the end, the popup window disappears, the game syncs up and that's it.
I've tried it with every possible Proton version I could: 3.16-5 Beta, 3.16-4, 3.7-8 and 3.7-8 Beta.
After numerous attempts, I grew tired of it and requested a refund. But after that it finally hit me, I had not tried this launch option: PROTON_USE_WINED3D11=1 %command%

Could someone WHO OWNS AN AMD GPU and uses a Linux distro (preferably Linux Mint) try that out and let me know?

Thank you in advance.

I know the game doesn't like to run right on Linux unless you run in OpenGL mode, but I have no idea if that will fix this problem.

True. I guess it could also be true for all Unity-based windows-only games, which means Valve has a long way to go when it comes to supporting Unity via SteamPlay/Proton. Oh well.

This is coming really late, but I finally got my new Linux system built ( sporting a Vega56. a Ryzen 7 2700 CPU, 32GB RAM, B450 motherboard and NVME as well as RAIDed storage) and the game mostly works. The only issue is that the 3DMark TimeSpy video isn't playing, the frame counter and fps shows up but the monitor stays black.

Are you using Proton 3.16-4? That's what I'm using. Aside from that I'm also using the Padoka PPA (as recommended by Valve). Also I'm running Ubuntu 18.10 x64 and using the OSS AMDGPU drivers with the ROCm OCL library in OSS mode. I had issues with AMD's proprietary graphics in 18.04, but switching to 18.10 and using the Padoka PPAs solved the issues.

To start things off, yes, I do have Padoka PPA's drivers. Matter of fact, this is what inxi -G gives:

Card-1: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Carrizo
Card-2: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Polaris12
Display Server: x11 (X.Org 1.19.6 )
drivers: ati,amdgpu (unloaded: modesetting,fbdev,vesa,radeon)
Resolution: 1366x768@59.97hz
OpenGL: renderer: AMD Radeon R7 Graphics (CARRIZO, DRM 3.23.0, 4.15.0-43-generic, LLVM 7.0.0)
version: 4.5 Mesa 18.3.1 - padoka PPA

Secondly, I've managed to run this game using Codeweavers' Crossover. The game runs like crap, but it launches and it runs, whereas on Steam I can't get past the launcher (I mean THE GAME LAUNCHER). I also have my Vulkan drivers up to date, but I don't think it will matter because it supports OpenGL only. Are you running PCBS with some custom launch options?
By the way, Linux Mint 19 is based on Ubuntu 18.04 FYI. Too bad AMD won't bother making a settings panel like nVidia does.

for me it runs well in linux mint 19 with intel cpu and nvidia graphics, i just start in OpenGL and its quite fluent, in dx is somewhat stuttering. the 3dmarktest videos are not shown, but that is ok for me

It runs really well for me with Proton 4.2-5 selected, a bit of screen tearing and the benchmark is black but it works

What video card are you using to run the game, is it AMD or Nvidia?

That startup command worked beautifully. Kubutu 19.04. Since Linux mint uses Ubuntu at it's core then it should work for you.

Sorry for necro-commenting after 6 years of inactivity, but where's the OpenGL mode???

I could be wrong, but I don't think it's really a thing anymore. OpenGL has largely been superseded by Vulkan in almost every way, and Proton at this point only has OpenGL support for Windows games that already use it, and doesn't force OpenGL anymore as, again, Vulkan has replaced it.
