Symptoms

3 FPS (333 ms frame times) when using proton 7 (or experimental).
I have no such problem when using proton 6.3-8.

Reproduction

I didn't do anything special (that I know of) to trigger the issue. The frame rate was slow on the first launch.

I've finished this game (Enhanced Edition) using Proton 10-3 (RC) and the only issue I've noticed is: if you enable ray-tracing the game stutters in several moments, generally during area transitions. I believe the most affected level is the first one. I don't know if this is a game, driver or Proton issue (and I have Steam shader pre-caching enabled)

Specs:

OS: Arch
Kernel: 6.12.53
GPU: RX 6700 XT (Mesa 25.2.5)
CPU: Ryzen 7 5700G (8c/16t)
