I tried, proton-GE seems to help, but doesn’t fix. Game runs smoother for sure, but it still gets freezes. I found 9.1 to work best, I’ll try more 8 versions, my tests aren’t scientific. I can’t seem to find how gamescope works or to get it working.
I wanted to reach as meany ppl as possible, as this is very niche. I know what my username is, but I’m not using this as a burner lol. Still, thanks for the warning, I’ll keep it in mind if I wish for anonymity.
The game starts but I have extreme performance issues. I'm not talking about low fps or input delay, I have a decent gaming pc, and it's relatively new. I'm talking about stutters, heavy ones. I manged to snap two screenshots of this happening on 60fps cap and uncapped:

Almost all video settings are unrelated. If I lower them the freezes also lower in number, but I don't think it's a hardware limit.. if [this](https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/f736c4ad-7a04-45b3-862c-90c86e445f12.png) can't run it on high-med (as I had it) nothing can. I ran some benchmarks and stress test, both on Windows and Linux, both Vulkan and Dx11, It didn't stutter.
Some other things to mention is how I run it. From Steam, normally. I have no forced proton selected, I did no other configs. However I might have something fucked as:
![I can run this `.exe` natively. I'm sure I can't so what's going on?](https://sh.itjust.works/pictrs/image/aae84891-f302-4e79-9312-d9643e79a3d6.png)
Anyways, thankfully mangohud got me and tells me that I'm using proton-experimental 9.0. (on the prev. screenshots, I had forced proton enabled, stutters the same)
I tried using steam tinker, and it says: "using proton-unknown-958".
I have no idea what information more to give, I just typed out things that might be related to the issue. If something's unclear or if I should supply more information, just tell me. Thanks in advance for any help or tips.
# SOLVED
thanks for the tips, this one was solved by u/Leopard1907 over on Reddit.
it was my driver, and these two commands:
- `sudo pacman -S --needed lib32-mesa vulkan-radeon lib32-vulkan-radeon vulkan-icd-loader lib32-vulkan-icd-loader`
- `sudo pacman -R amdvlk lib32-amdvlk`
Yeah, that was it. Thanks
