Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Everytime I open Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, the game is running at 4FPS (was 7 at first, but changed the resolution and it got worse) and it just stays like that; tried using Proton 9.0.4, Experimental and did not help. I'm also new to the Linux space, just barely got the Mint distro.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. Open Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon using Proton Experimental or Proton 9.0.4
  2. Check the FPS (using Steam Overlay)

Hello @falconico, we're tracking issues with games run with Proton in the Proton issue tracker. Also, we're using one issue report per unofficially supported game title, so I've gone ahead and transferred this issue report to https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/6514#issuecomment-4430488504.
