Very frequent texture pop-in.
Noticable mouse and input lag on occasions.
Significant stuttering and lag, especially when turning around, making the game borderline unplayable.
When creating a character for the first time, an EULA needs to be accepted. Accepting was possible only on Proton 7.0-6.
Tested various Proton versions: GE9-8, GE9-9, GE9-10, Experimental, 9.0-2, 7.0-6 - none of which solved the performance problems.
As of currently the game is borderline unplayable. Lag and stuttering disappears when looking in only one direction, but as soon as the view is turned the game starts severely stuttering and lagging.
Using menus creates stuttering each time the mouse is placed over a selection, and clicking something freezes the game for a second and sometimes doesn't detect the click properly. This is most noticable in the building menu.
Graphics settings have minimal impact on stutters/lag. Tried setting everything to minimum and it decreased stutters by, at best, 5%.
Occasional stuttering; switching between menus causes game to hitch every time for a few seconds.
Crashed around 2 to 4 times in 50+ hours of playtime; no apparent reason and happened in different situations each time.
Stuttering seems to be an issue on the game/server side, probably not Linux related.
Plays well, though DLSS seems to not "work" in my case - my FPS remains the same on all DLSS settings, even on Ultra Performance, but still affects game resolution as it would normally.
Played about 40h with GE9-8, 10h with GE9-10, didn't see any significant performance improvements between versions.
