I've used to be able to play this game just fine at around medium graphic settings through Proton (GE), but today when I launched it again after a while the performance was just really poor.

Like mouse-moves-at-30fps-in-the-menu-poor.

There have been plenty of package upgrades since my last launch including plasma 6, proton and the game itself. So I don't really have any particular suspects here.

Running Arch with AMD GPU. Wayland/Xorg didn't seem to make a difference.

Has anyone else experienced similar performance degrading in this or another game lately?

Probably not your issue, but high dpi mice and some wine games don't mix well. I bought a cheap low dpi usb mouse after discovering this.

@jbloggs777 @Tiuku I found the best trick is to use a mouse that lets you click a button to switch on the fly. Logitech and Corsair for example

Ohh yeah I have a mouse like that. The reason being just that I don't want to deal with mouse control software ^^

I'll try to fiddle around a bit.

I had the same problem with enshrouded, including desktop sluggishness. I "fixed" it by fiddling with detail settings until I found one thing that had a significant performance impact. I want to say it was something to do with shadows? I'll try to remember to look when I'm at my desk. Hopefully someone has a better answer/suggestion, but something to try.

Also, did vulkan shaders run and complete? Mine don't on Enshrouded, get stuck at 99%. I know that can have a performance impact.

Thanks for the hint, though I didn't manage to find a magic setting yet at least.

I should think so. The dialogue doesn't seem to appear anymore but on the first launch of today it did, and I don't remember anything special about it.

Mildly interesting observation: Having the game open in the background made browser scrolling very sluggish.
