here are the many images at the start of the game NOW IT doesn’t always happen but still is an issue.
Another issue on linux with nvidia is that one boot of the game runs amazing! 120fps locked 1440p maxed and the second boot runs like garbage 47fps same settings and it makes no sense and the power draw is much lower. Also pyroveil fails to work as well.
While not an official fix, this issue can be resolved by using the pyroveil layer created by HansKristian(creator/maintainer of vkd3d-proton):
just follow the steps listed in the repository, add the launch argument, and while not a listed step, I would also remove the files in the root of your game’s directory:
vkd3d-proton.cache
vkd3d-proton.cache.write
and let it rebuild itself before running with the pyroveil layer enabled.
