Since the release of this video, the game should now work out of the box using the latest version of Proton Experimental or Lutris.

Method 1. Using Lutris If Purchased Through Epic.

Step 3. Install Epic Game Store.

Launch Lutris, click the Epic button on the left hand side and sign into your account.

The game should now appear on the right side, so select it, and click install.

Once the process is finished, Epic Game Store should now be listed under the Games tab.

Step 4. Install The Game.

Once Epic Game Store is installed, launch it by clicking Play and sign into your account.

From here install the game as normal, and launch once ready.

Method 2. Steam Proton.

Step 1. Install Steam and Enable Proton Experimental.

Install Steam, sign into your account, navigate to Steam / Settings / Steam Play and tick both Enable Steam Play for supported titles and Enable Steam Play for all other titles.

This should choose Proton Experimental as the default build which is what we want.

Restart Steam when prompted.

Step 2. Install The Game.

From here install the game as normal, and launch once ready.

Optional Performance Tweaks

If you have a GPU with at least 8GB VRAM you can disable texture streaming which can help with stuttering, but this will increase loading time.

To do this, add -NOTEXTURESTREAMING to the game custom launch options.
