Killer Instinct 2013 with Steam Play Proton 5.13-2, the Linux compatibility layer from Valve.
The game finally works in Single player (fixed 60FPS), apart from some strange audio glitch (with some crackling sound) .
EDIT: the sound problem seems to be solved if you disable ESYNC see TWEAKS below.
The multiplayer is not yet playable cause the Cloud saves fail to work.

What works: single player at Max Settings
What doesn't work yet: Multiplayer,


The game is running on a I7 3770 + GTX 970 (see "PC CONFIGURATION" and
"GRAPHIC SETTINGS" below for details).

Note that this video is recorded with a cheap capture card .. The video image is not the highest quality but there is no frame loss during recording.
