I confirm:

• [x] that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
• [x] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.

Symptoms

• Massive FPS drop when fog is present, for whatever reason, if Steam Game Recording is toggled in Game the FPS almost goes back to normal 60fps.
• SwayWM adaptive sync is disabled (on or off doesn't seem to impact anything)
• Using solutions on ProtonDB like MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=zink causes the game to not pass the first loading screen
• The same issue happens on different versions of Proton
• High or Low settings don't impact the problem
• :warn:seh:dispatch_exception "59.7 milliseconds for a single 'TransparencySortJob' job from job list JOBLIST_RENDERMODEL\n" is spammed on logs

Reproduction

Look at fog, noticeable on Chapter 01 - DEATHSHEAD'S COMPOUND
