The graphical sacrifice is significant on linux to reach a playable 60fps. Slashing settings grants minimal performance.
Running game at 1080p, settings on all Low, Xess scaling on Ultra Performance, yet the game barely cracks 60fps. Reversing the settings to Epic quality and full resolution only drops to ~45fps. Gpu is 100% usage but the tempurature is not high, despite the summer heat. On the highest difficulty, my life is in the QTEs. The framerate is very important to see attacks. I have a choice of very poor graphics quality or very difficult battles.
I'm not sure what else to try, there don't seem to be any available tweaks to get performance closer to what is reported on Windows.
Fair framerates when disabling background recording, installing community performance config
SteamDeck=0 WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dsound=n,b" %command%
Using the community config files "Optimax Performance" - "1. Ultra Quality". From tests, it granted me ~5-10 fps bringing it to 65 - 90 fps on epic-ish settings, supposedly for some graphical cost. Mod and installation instructions are from NexusMods.com. The config pack contains a low-spec config to use with lowest settings, which brought me into the 150fps neighbourhood. This config instructs the use of the Steamdeck=0 launch option.
Also using "ClairObscurFix" mod to uncap cutscene framerate from 30fps, which instructed the use of the WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dsound=n,b" launch option.
Steam Background Recording nearly halves the framerate, so I had to turn it off (can be set for Clair Obscur only). Before disabling this, my lowest graphics settings would give me ~60fps if I was lucky. I currently get ~75 to 90 on the high settings below. This config notably made the GPU hotter, despite showing 100% usage previously in KDE's hardware monitor, a sign that the utilization had greatly improved.
