Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

Dear Team Steam,
I love how you guys have made games available on Linux Platform.
I am running Linux Mint 19.1 and the latest version of Proton.
The game runs well, at about the same fps i was getting on Windows platform. I also appreciate that Steam has an option to show fps on the top left corner.
I have a request to make, kindly provide an option to limit the fps just like in Riva tuner statistics server, so that we can play games at 30 fps capped just like on windows. That would be an great Option for buttery smooth gameplay.

Thank you in advance. I believe in you guys.m/)

Hello @SteamHawkeye, as far as I know, there isn't a reliable OS-level method to limit framerate for Steam to tie into. You might be able to use libstrangle to get the behavior you're looking for.

I have tried Libstrangle for Steam. It works for majority of games but i am struggling with Strange Brigade, SET LAUNCH OPTION command "VSYNC=0 strangle 30 %command%" doesn't work for Strange Brigade.

What is the current state of this feature? Is it in development or something already? It would be really nice to have in the steam client

Yeah can we please get this as a built-in feature? This really would be appreciated!
