Steam for Linux

Steam for Linux

extremely poor performance in some games
I am new to linux, I am using ubuntu 22.04 lts and I have steam with proton experimental and dxvk/pre-caching. I have updated all my drivers but for some games there are still some huge issues when According to protondb there shouldn't. "A hat in Time" initially ran so slow that I measured framerate in frames per minute rather than frames per second and after enabling pre-caching and dxvk its at 2 fps. The other issue is with star wars squadrons, when I enter the game it starts flashing really rapidly unless I adjust my brightness where it stops doing it for a couple seconds then it starts again. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing these issues?

what are your system specs (cpu, gpu, ram)?

what gpu driver are you using?

what version of steam did you install (apt, snap, flatpak, .deb)?

amd ryzen 7 7040u with integrated graphics and 16 gb single channel ram, I installed through apt. I have the mesa drivers with vulkan support.
check to be sure you're using the newest kernel version available in Ubuntu's Software Updater tool, it may provide better performance. though it may just be the igpu, I've not used an igpu for gaming and am unsure just how far they've come on performance over the years.

Nah it runs a game like battlefront two with no issues even on high, I found out that I just configured dxvk wrong.
