Some polygons would turn to black at extreme angles but it might as well be a bug in game's culling implementation.

Switching to Proton GE from experimental/hotfix fixed the game always crashing after exiting to desktop.
DXVK_FRAME_RATE=75 %command%
Frametimes are awful, feels very choppy even at framerate cap limit
Even though there was a save icon displayed no progress was restored after crashes.
Game froze on first in-game loading screen, had to start from scratch, then it went throught the first loading screen and froze on the next.
Only tried to play it 2 times, because the game did not save progress (probably due to crashes) and it seemed not worth it for a 3 hour long game. Had no problem launching the game, unlike others, though one of the intro movies had weird green artifact at the bottom, that is not present when running on windows.
Tried native first, it crashed after 2 minutes of gameplay and then would not start. After switching to proton and running in safe mode (suggested by the game due to previous crashes) I was able to play without issues.
Traversal stutter after going through doors in the police station
Make sure you don't run out of VRAM, I had to reduce texture quality to make the game playable as I reached the village.

Sound design is bad in this game, perhaps it's not a linux issue at all
For the last mission I installed the 575 driver and it did wonders for the performance, before I had only 2 or 3 settings at medium and others at low and the game struggled to keep 75 fps. With 575 driver I bumped the settings to high and had no problems with framerate.
FPS would drop below 30 for at most 10 secs like 4 times, seemed pretty random
I could not progress at the end of the section where you escape through the sewers with Ellie and Tess, the game would freeze within 15 seconds of loading the checkpoint. It finally worked at the 10th or so try after removing DXVK_FRAME_RATE from launch options, though it may be just a coincidence. Played without any launch options from that point.
It happened twice later in the game, the other time would require like 4 tries to finally work, without changing any settings.
On every launch the game would show a warning that no graphics card was detected, the only downside to this was that DLSS wasn't available. A few days after the game's release Proton hotfix was updated, the warning was gone, but this also rendered the game unplayable, had 3 fps on average. Rolled back to experimental.

Not linux specific (check reviews on Steam), changing graphics settings doesn't affect the framerate at all, even turning on DLSS/FSR does nothing. The last 5 minutes of the game I had sub 30 fps, this is abysmal
