gamemoderun %command% -USEALLAVAILABLECORES -THREADS 12
I read online that the game is not well uptimised to use lots of cpu cores
I love CARX STREET - sure it is not perfect, however they are on to something speacial.
What i noticed when ever you update the verion of proton you have assigned to use with the game. it is good habbit to do thfollowing below so you can benefit form the changes made in the updated verion of proton you are now using. you will see a big difference in performance esspeaciall withe the latest GE-Proton9-13 verion of proton in my opinion.
Make a back up of your save files.
DELETE your current configuration folder - SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/1114150
DELETE- the shader cache also for the game SteamLibrary/steamapps/shadercache/1114150
launch the game and steam will reinstall the esstianll configurations needed to play the game with your new verion of proton.
As for my configuration
I use Fedora based Nobara
Installed the steamdeck interface on top of the kde version of nobara, as the hdr in games can be enabled in game with steamdecks UI / compositor.
I have changed the default kernal of Nobara to Cachyos and I get unbelivable inprovement in performance.

- I have installed auto-cpufreq - and enabled the psate driver for my processor (AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4650G) I have also set the govenor to performance.
https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/auto-cpufreq
- I have installed the latest verion of gamemoderun version 1.8.2
if you already have gamemoderun installed version 1.7-5.fc40 - ensure to uninstall and when you figure out how to install version 1.8.2 via a copr or by follwing it's git repository instructions. ensure to remove any old gamemoderun config files from your system.
once you do this ensure and test that it is working via the following command - gamemoded -t
I use the following launch options with the game ( i have an amd rx5500xt) not fancy but the game runs fantasic at 3840 x 1800 resolution. my tv is the 2024 MODEL - TCL 655K 43 QLED'' but I replaced my more expensive samsung AU9000 tv with VRR for it and it is way more responsive and the colOurs are gorgeous. ( great budget friedly gaming tv 2024 - TCL 655K QLED')
ANYway HERE IS THE LAUNCH OPTIONS I USE
gamemoderun %command% -USEALLAVAILABLECORES -THREADS 12
gamemoderun %command% -USEALLAVAILABLECORES -THREADS 12
create a blank text file and the content below to it and save the text file as user.cfg the file need to go to this location - SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Need for Speed Heat/
need for spped heat is know to have issues and not utilise the cores you have available properly
insert the following in the blank text file you hve created in this location -SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Need for Speed Heat/
my cpu has 6 cores and 12 threads (AMD Ryzen 5 PRO 4650G) hence the way the configuration is layed out. so please edit the content of the text file based on your process spec. contents of text file below:
Thread.ProcessorCount 6 Thread.MaxProcessorCount 6 Thread.MinFreeProcessorCount 0 Thread.JobThreadPriority 0 GstRender.Thread.MaxProcessorCount 12

I also use these launch options with the new CARX Street and the game works great
Install games with Proton -6.13-GE-1 to setup prefix. The origin installer works great . Great game
Proton -6.15-GE-2 GloriousEggroll
Proton -6.15-GE-2
Need to put game in borderless mode but may not scale correctly when streamed via steam link
Proton -6.13-GE-1 install the needed paths for origin perfectly and it does not get in the way. Once this proton version is used to setup the prefix and the game launches first time. Switch it to Proton -6.15-GE-2 and all missing road textures will be present and any other missing textures in the environment will be present.
Random black graphic artifacts, i think it has something to do with reflections or hdr
Changing the games render resolution to lower percentages causes sever slow downs. Example. Reduce render resolution to 90% it may slow down but change it right after to 95% it speeds up visa verse. Very random. But a restart of the game after selecting the desired resolution scaling persentage usualy fixes this issue
Install games with Proton -6.13-GE-1 to setup prefix. The origin installer works great and when the game starts it gets out of the way had great success with this version with regards to the origin installer. After all is installed switch to Proton -6.15-GE-2 and this will give you all the missing inviromental textures etc. And it will look like it should. Performance tip. Use gamemode launch option for steam. A fsync patched kernel is essential. If on fedora look for a fysnc copr repositry to install. On ubuntu try xanmod kernel. I also have a dedicated nvme drive where i symlinked all my my games shader cache to. As i have several ssd's were my games libraies are installed on. I get good performance with the nvme drive being used for shader cache access. Most important of all the cpu usage issue is real. So do this.
