TWEAKS & TRICKS:

  • Startup Freeze: The game freezes at the startup logo without DX11. Solution: +dx11
  • Wayland Fullscreen Issues/Mouse Sticking: The game struggles with multi-monitor setups and fails to go fullscreen on Wayland. Solution: gamescope --rt -W 1920 -H 1080 -r 280 -f --force-grab-cursor -- %command% -dx11
  • Wayland Fullscreen Issues/Mouse Sticking: The game struggles with multi-monitor setups and fails to go fullscreen on Wayland. Solution: gamescope -O DP-2 -w 2560 -h 1440 -r 144 -f --force-grab-cursor -- %command% -dx11
  • Crashes after 1-1.5 hours: While running with -dx11 it exhibits crashes. Solution: No specific fix available from user reports, but consistent use of -dx11 seems necessary.

Verdict: Quarantine Zone: The Last Check is a solid buy for Linux gamers, especially those comfortable with Proton configuration. The -dx11 launch option is critical, and Gamescope can resolve Wayland-specific issues.
