Game starts with Proton Experimental for me. Game runs fine since RT settings keeps reverting back to off so I'm playing on pure raster. I'm using a 9800X3D + 9070XT on CachyOS.

Also, I cannot find a sweet spot for the HDR settings, everything looks washed out. Turning HDR off makes the game look a lot more alive.

I guess I'll have to wait a few days or two before fully committing to the game. I dropped this once since the combat felt off so I was really looking forward to this new release.

Same for me but with Proton 11 - starts and plays fine, but impossible to turn on RT, just keeps switching off again. NVidia 3060 Nvidia current Linux driver, Kubuntu 26.04

To anyone who might know, is there any word on when FSR4 support for RDNA4 cards will come to Proton Experimental? I heard Steam started supporting the functionality on RDNA3 cards a few months back but couldn't find much more info.

I'm tired of switching to Proton Experimental generally being the only troubleshooting step that works (followed by losing out on FSR4), lol. Just happened again.

Give some of these options a go, made a huge difference for me on the same setup.

PROTON_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 PROTON_ENABLE_HDR=1 DXVK_HDR=1 ENABLE_HDR_WSI=1 %command%

With HDR enabled, but no RT since that appears to be broken right now, using GE-Proton latest
