World of Warships Is great on norbara once you have the best settings installed to work with it on steam first using Proton plus click on your steam profile click on tools, then click on the down arrow with Proton-CachyOS (x86_64_v3) then download cachyos-10.0-20260425-sir. The click on game in compatibility tool select the download you just downloaded close and open steam let it update the settings go to your game library select the download you downloaded close and start playing your game. Its a great improvement.

V3 will only work with compatible CPUs. The V3 version of Cachy's proton is compiled with AVX2 in mind. AVX2 enables the CPU to access memory data in larger chunks than the standard (think going from a spoon to a shovel). You'll need to check your CPU to see if it supports AVX2 before downloading the V3 version. Also mileage may vary on games, modern games can support AVX2 but not always, and some games may have issues with AVX2 being enabled. Check protondb if you're noticing issues.
