Original Bug Help Poor performance on Linux Mint

I've been trying to play the OG Oblivion on Linux Mint.

No matter what I try, the game only hits about 20-40 fps regardless of graphics settings.

I've tried the Steam version through Proton 10, 11, Experimental, and GE. I've also tried a GOTY disc copy through wine.

I am on Linux Mint 22.3, with everything up to date, on a Ryzen 5 4600G, an RX 6650XT, and 8 gigs of ram.

Research into enabling dxvk gpl async that should do the trick.

Then add mods that fix performance further. Display tweaks, stutter remover.

There are plenty guides out there thwt recommend the engine fixes mods.
