 * Ubuntu 16.04.6, intel HD-530, with proton 3.16-8Beta, proton 3.16-4 and proton 3.7.8
 * Setting Launch Options to PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% got the game to launch with proton 3.16-4, and putting all the graphics settings to low got it to run at 30fps with only little lag.

"Runs perfectly for me on Pop 19.04 at 1080P. In higher resolutions the game runs but my Intel built-in GPU struggles.

''Didn't have to do anything special, just tell Steam to use Proton and set the game to Windowed mode.

''Due to the laptop's heat issues I did turn down the framerate, but I doubt most people will have that issue."
