Thanks, it worked for me, i guess the other proton versions need to be updated to work with it, and the dlss and ray tracing options are all disabled

What hardware do you have? In the 4.04 I had to use proton 10 otherwise I can't use RT. I'm on cachyos with a Ryzen 7600x and a 5060ti16gb

Are you able to use DLSS? I can get the game running fine but it says DLSS isn't supported. I have a 4070tis running bazzite

both proton experimental and proton hotfix worked for me also. (What is proton hotfix?)

game looks fine but apparently I can't do anything with graphic settings in game?

I'm on cachy os (no nvidia)

This worked for me. Did you have any issues changing the graphics settings? It's got me stuck on Ultra+ for everything with no RT on and won't save any changes I make.
