I play it using Proton 3.16-9, as it has no lag or performance issues under this version. Later versions of Proton might be fine with a tweak or two, but since I have a solidly working config, I have yet to tinker with the later versions of Proton.

Launch Flags:Use Wine D3D

Frame rate was terrible (around 5 fps). Using "PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%" fixed it. Now runs smooth with or without vsync, windowed or fullscreen.

I've also locked the game process to CPUs 0 and 2 (half a single CCX and avoiding hyperthread) which took care of the last occasional stutters and let the CPU run between 3.8 and 4.0Ghz but this last one is probably a 1st gen Threadripper-specific issue rather than proton issue.

I'm using: "PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 taskset -c 0,2 %command%" where 0,2 is the list of logical CPUs (Other more demanding games will need more CPUs)

the game works near perfectly. my only issue is that it has noticeable input-lag, which makes the game unenjoyable, for me. disabling esync and d3d11 had no effect, neither did toggling vsync.
