Symptoms

  1. intro video is very slow (<0.5 FPS)
  2. game sometimes crashes

Reproduction

  1. start the game
  2. about crashes: so far only happened while crouching through the bushes, in some places it is guaranteed to crash, in some it is not. Can be reproduced with the following save:
    GAME-AUTOSAVE1.zip
    Load the save, exit the garage, turn left and crouch through all the bushes you see, starting from closest.

Note

Tested also on Ubuntu 18.04, kernel 4.15, nvidia 396.54 - the issues are there, too.

I can confirm the problem with intro video being played back very slow (the intro can be skipped to get to the game faster with method mentioned here https://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/The_Evil_Within_2)

But I can not replicate the problem with crashes on my setup, I also tried the savefile m-svo attached. And tried crouching through the bushes, also tried crouching through bushes on other places in the game too, but no crashes. I think that problem might be isolated to only Nvidia GPU's, or that the problem has possibly been fixed in Proton 3.16-6 Beta that I'm using.

There appears to be a problem with audio/video going slightly off-sync in cut-scenes if not using vsync (not sure if this happens on Windows)

The performance is 40-50fps at 1080p with the settings mentioned below (game does not perform very well on windows either)

Proton version: 3.16-6 Beta

I also have a problem with crashes while crouching through bushes using Proton 4.2-2. The same issue occurs whether I'm using DXVK or WINED3D.
