I installed Grand Theft Auto V on Steam and ran it with Proton 5.13-1, however I’m only getting around 30fps. After a while of playing the game’s CPU usage goes up to 300% and the game drops to 1fps.

I tried using Proton 5.0-9. On my first attempt it wouldn’t run saying that it couldn’t find the launcher. I reinstalled the game and tried running it on Proton 5.0-9 again but it just wouldn’t open. So far it seems to just work with Proton 5.13-1.

Every graphic settings is in it’s lowest setting or turned off and I’m still getting abysmal performance. Any ideas on how to fix this?

When you switch Proton version back and forth, to avoid issues you could rename or delete the Proton prefix for the specific game found at ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/{APPID} (note that it will recreate a new prefix from the current Proton version used, so you start fresh but you may lose all configuration and/or savegame in the game, if it is not synced with the Steam Cloud)

Also did you install the hybrid configuration for your GPUs? You have dual GPU so it is not a classic video configuration.

You can try to disable Steam overlay to exclude any possible Proton/Wine issue related to that (the 1FPS you mentioned can be a symptom of an issue in Wine with mouse polling rate).

Thanks for the tip regarding switching between Proton versions.

Yes, I have the latest hybrid drivers installed and run the game with the prime-run %command% launch settings. nvidia-smi shows that the game is using the nVidia GPU.

I’ll try this. Hopefully it helps. Thanks.

Have you tried running with lutris? There’s quite a few customisation options in lutris that may help including feral gamemode. You can also get a log from lutris while the game is running which may help find out what’s going on

No, I haven’t. I’ve tried Lutris with a few other games and they all didn’t work so I got rid of it. Besides, it’s going to take up a lot of space.

GTA5 needs over 80Gib and you’re worried about a few hundred megs with lutris?

You’d be best off using the glorious eggroll proton version the install process is extremely simple.

I tried some time ago to get GTA5 to work. The best way I found was to install a hack to remove the rockstar launcher; even then I got bad frames and my controller didn’t work.

It’s really not worth the hassle imo.

Thanks for suggestion but I tried @omano’s tip about switching Proton versions and used the older 4.11 one and the performance has gone way up, albeit with a bit of stuttering.

8

In theory you should have better performance with current Proton, but if it works for you, good then :wink:
I think you still have an issue though because of what I just said.

9

Yeah that’s what I was thinking when I first started the game. I’m trying the 5.0 version to see if thats any better.
