Could you provide a proton log? :)

Edit: Maybe it's selecting your intel igpu. Does either of these launch options help the issue?

VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/nvidia_icd.json %command%

__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only %command%

[sid013]

I added PROTON_LOG=1 %command% to the launch options. I don't see any logs in Home/Steam/

__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only %command% with this launch option my frame rate has become 9-12 . PS all graphic settings are kept at low

Thank you

Devs support please

[Blisto91]

Can you add DXVK_HUD=full to your launch parameters and take a ingame screenshot and post it here? So launch parameters becomes

__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only DXVK_HUD=full %command%

Also how does it run on the native version not running through proton. Or doesn't that work? Dunno if that is what the steam for linux issue you linked is about.

[sid013]

On Native the game just crashes instantly. I just did as you asked

Also there was a steam client update just now. Which has made the gameplay stutter free. For me game is smooth now. Don't know what fixed it.

Thanks for your time and patience Blisto91

I'm glad it managed to improve more to the point of it being playable. I see your GPU is maxed out so i think from here on your GPU is the limiting factor. Not ruling out dxvk having some small performance increases in the future ofc. Maybe the native version can also give a bit extra if it starts working again.

[sid013]

Yeah :)
