Cyber Engine Tweaks (mod framework) requires protontricks, so I set it up according to its instructions.
The game worked out of the box with Proton Experimental as well. A little extra tinkering is needed to achieve mod support, but that should be expected.
PROTON_ENABLE_NVAPI=1 %command%
Game crashes with error Dx12Renderer::waitOnSwap Gpu timeout detected with the default graphical settings. I was unable to load into the game at all with nvidia-open (open source driver kernel modules), but I was able to play after installing nvidia and reducing the graphical fidelity.
I was unable to change most graphical settings from within the game, so here are relevant lines from ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1846380/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/Need\ For\ Speed\(TM\)\ Unbound/settings/PROFILEOPTIONS_profile (the file gets generated once you change a setting ingame, I recommend changing an audio setting to generate it if you're having trouble):
GstRender.OverallGraphicsQuality 2
GstRender.ResolutionScale 0.600000
GstRender.DRSTargetFramerate 30
After this, I was able to run the game without any issues whatsoever, at least so far. :)
I had no issues playing Need for Speed Heat with its default settings, so I'm surprised it took this much degradation of graphics to make it load into gameplay at all.
I experience slight slowdowns/stuttering if I receive a notification in GNOME, but it's nothing extremely detrimental.
