I did not move the symlink and compat data. I did delete the compat data with protontricks and move the game to my ext4 partition (the partition Linux is installed on). Still the same bad performance.
I am using ntfs-3g I will try switching it to ntfs3
Nah I am using a desktop:
3070
Ryzen 7 3700x
16gb of RAM
to move the compatdata and sysmlink do I paste the command as is if steam is installed natively in the default location?
$ mkdir -p ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata $ ln -s ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/compatdata /media/gamedisk/Steam/steamapps/
nvidia proprietary drivers and I am getting similar performance on x11 and wayland.
