I just installed wine and launched Noita (a very cpu intensive game) with it, and the stuttering I've been experiencing since switching to linux has vanished. The game has never run smoother. Cant wait for proton to get up to date.

iirc these changes have been in proton ge for quite a while now for supported installs.

Yeah I was looking around to install proton GE but it was more complicated than just using Wine and launching Noita without the steam overlay.

That’s strange, Noita has always run as smooth as butter for me

I don't have stutters but I do get gfx artifacts. I'll check out the newer Wine/Proton versions.
