Hello @tesfabpel, the log hints that the degraded performance is nvapi related. Please retest with Proton 3.16-4.

Hi @kisak-valve,
with proton 3.16-4 the FPS are good but of course the audio issue is still there.
Thank you.

I solved the audio issue by using Proton 3.16-4-beta and running a terminal:
WINEPREFIX=/PathToYour/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/471010/pfx winetricks xact
That yields proper sound, and great fps in game.

It might not be so obvious when you play the game, but none of the videos are working (WMV) so it's another game being affected by the WMV support in wine/proton https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/1464

HHonkingGoose 2019-03-09 github

I've updated the list at #1464 to reflect the findings of @NuSuey.

For reference: the Proton log contains mf.dll, mfplat.dll, mfplay.dll, this means it's a MediaFoundation issue.

Curiously, game has libvorbis DLL-files included with it but videofiles are wmv and mp4 (H.264 and MPEG-4 AAC).

Also, Proton-GE 7.1-2 exits before reaching main menu with following logline:
in64\Seven-Win64-Shipping.exe: ../src/vulkan/wsi/wsi_common_x11.c:1229: x11_present_to_x11_dri3: Assertion `chain->sent_image_count <= chain->base.image_count' failed.

Hello @ipr, an assert in mesa's common wsi code should also be mentioned to the mesa developers.

Hello @ipr, an assert in mesa's common wsi code should also be mentioned to the mesa developers.

I retested with older Mesa (21.3.5): that assert seems to be due to Mesa 22.0-rc, which seems to have problematic bugs still. A few other games have exhibited problems with that version too.

Some in-game tutorial videos available on the menu are rendered as "colored bars" with Proton 9.0-4, 10.0-3 and Experimental (2025-11-26). See picture below:
