Deep Rock Galactic

Runs perfectly without any tinkering

Tinker Steps:Set launch options

mangohud gamemoderun %command%

Game runs perfectly without any tinkering, with performance on par with Windows under DX12. However, keyboard inputs won't be recognised if running the game with gamescope to get HDR working.

FROM ASHES, BLOOM

Runs great without any tinkering

Battery Performance:

TDP limit to 12W

Performance:Significant Performance Problems

Game will slow down to single digit frames when a moderate amount of enemies and bullets are on the screen

Game runs just fine, but expect significant slowdowns on later waves as more enemies and projectiles are rendered on the screen

Game crashes frequently when running in DX12

Game needs to run in DX11, however this disables FSR3 upscaler and frame gen, and also ray tracing options, although this game is very well optimised

Runs after changing to Proton Experimental, with some graphical glitches

Tinker Steps:Switch to experimental

Graphics:Heavy Artifacts

Textures and models flicker constantly between normal and LOD mode, even when everything is close to the player.

Game needs Proton Experimental after the 1896 update, otherwise it won't boot.

Game causes GPU reset with AMD, impossible to play

Tinker Steps:Set launch options

mangohud %command%

Installs:Yes

Opens:Yes

Starts Play:No

Game causes a GPU reset on AMD cards at any time, requiring a forced reboot. No amount of tinkering changes this, and the environment variables shared across protondb are placebo at best. It is impossible to recommend this game due to this issue.

Monster Hunter Wilds

Playable with mesa-git but with severe performance loss compared to Windows

Tinker Steps:Custom Proton: Proton Hotfix, Set launch options

mangohud %command%

Performance:Significant Performance Problems

Game drops to 50FPS or lower constantly and randomly

Instability:Occasionally

With Mesa git 25.1 (with amdonly-gaming-mesa-* from AUR) and Proton Hotfix, the game is now playable without GPU resets/DE crashes (tested on a 2 hour long session, previously would crash after mere seconds). Playing on a 7900XTX and 7800X3D at 1440p on Ultra, the performance is a lot worse than on Windows, ranging from anything between 50 and 130FPS. With frame gen enabled, FPS is between 120 and 280 with no graphical degradation or crashes so far.

Do not use the environment variables/flags others share around here, as most of them are either placebo or just don't even exist at all on wine/vkd3d.

No Man's Sky

Runs better than on Windows without any tweaks

Tinker Steps:Set launch options, Changed configuration

gamemoderun %command%

Changed the FOV to 152, as the game's maximum 100 is around the usual 70.

Graphics:Minor Artifacts

The flames animation on the ship's cockpit while entering a planet's atmosphere sometimes glitch out

Significant Bugs:

Changing any graphics settings will put the game on single digit frames, requiring a restart to fix.

On Windows, for some people (including me) this game cannot use more than 50% of the GPU for some reason, almost as if it thinks it's running in the backgorund, thus reducing the framerate a lot (50FPS on my 3080 @2160P) and changing graphic settings don't do anything for performance. This issue also happens on Linux if mangohud is running on top of the game, and without it it can use 100% of the GPU, getting the expected performance.
