Find "IGO64.dll" in the game's EA folder and rename it to anything else. Easily done in Dolphin if you search for it from ~/.local
This forcefully disables the EA App in-game overlay (but you'll still get EA notifications).
The game then runs flawess for me maxed out.
Perfect for story mode gameplay. Runs better here than in Windows for me.
If you want to bring back multiplayer, I recommend "GTA Connected", with a 1.0.8.0 downgrade. This works in a bog standard Wine installation for me.
Game seems to suffer from a memory leak that crawls it to a slideshow on desktop Linux. This oddly hasn't happened on Deck for me yet.
The game really does not like Vulkan, at least on Deck - constant texture flickering that really screws with the eyes. As such, the native Linux version is a no-go.
Enforce Proton 9, and ensure the renderer is DX11. The game then runs flawlessly @ 60FPS (at least, at the beginning of Gehenna).
