Running native with opengl works fine, but can experience performance drops in open areas, using Proton has much better performance but requires a fix for the main menu. In Steam right click Black Mesa > Properties -> 'set launch options' command "%command% -oldgameui" you can now see the in game menu. I noticed also when you first load a save, it will freeze when you try to move showing 'loading' a workaround is to quick load again F7.
With the new Radeon 9070 XT the came will crash after a few seconds of playing
With my Radeon 6600 the game runs perfectly. With the 9070 XT main menu works fine, running the game internal benchmark works fine. Issue occurs when you start playing after a few seconds of play, will lock the entire computer and need to reboot.
Won't launch
Wouldn't run, nothing happens with Proton 5.0-4 selected
Works perfect
Selected normal Proton 9.0-4, running mesa 25.0.4-2, Works great, no glitches or performance issues, no tweaking or customizations.

In the forsaken plains chapter fps drops to 19-30 fps, previously was 100fps when using Mesa, fixed by using AMDVLK.
Game runs great at 70-100fps however at the the forsaken plains chapter it drops to 19-30fps for Radeon GPU, resolved by installing AMDVLK rpm https://github.com/GPUOpen-Drivers/AMDVLK/releases and use Steam launch option 'VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/etc/vulkan/icd.d/amd_icd64.json %command%'
