At first launch I cranked up the graphics to high and the game was unplayable. Frame rates were way too low. So then I started turning down the settings one by one and eventually was able to play. There were some serious issues with the menus like inventory or map. Once you leave the menu frame rates dropped dramatically. I did a bit of research and found that a specific version of Proton was able to help with this issues.

Changing the graphics settings in game didn't always result in satisfying frame rates, so it was important to restart the game. Now that I have been playing for weeks there are no serious issues. Every once in a while the frame rate will drop after leaving a menu but it resolves pretty quickly. Also, sometimes there is a cloud overlay that appears on the screen which can be resolved by going to a menu and then back to the game. None of these issues are game breaking with Proton GE 9-11
