What works
The game installs and runs. All menu items are working, no connection issues. I did play the full first, second and third episode, which are all that are released until now.
What does not
Sound quality seems to be poor in comparison. No overrides seemed to have helped me here. They didn't make any difference at all.
When running the game in any mode above WinXP, the sound even stutters and crackles for me and voices are hardly understandable. This also means features like steam broadcast are not going to work, for they require said mode to work with steam.
Overall, the performance is good, besides fps drops occurring right after loading phases.
Workarounds
What was not tested
Episode 4 and 5, those are going to be released.

Many people have reported a similar bug on Windows on the steam forums, and those issues stemmed from wrong PhysX dlls (see steamcommunity.com/app/319630/discussions/1/618453594739747586 ). I've tried both 9.13, 9.14, removing PhysX etc, but everything yields the same error.
Anyone else had any luck? This is on Wine 1.9.4, tried both staging and non-staging

Yet I haven't found a solution other's than use the controllers input mapped to Keyboards/Mouse.
