[LINUX] Anyone have any luck getting physx to work?
Yes. I know ProtonDB exists. That is not a site for discussions, so Im here instead.

The last thing I tried was replacing the PhysX installer with the most recent one, and running that, but it runs as if its on the old physx version.

I think I don't use PhysX, since my GPU is AMD.

Yeahhh. I think PhysX is completely borked for AMD graphics cards, even on windows.
But for NVIDIA GPU's, you can delete some outdated binaries in the games instalation and if you have PhysX installed (IE via the geoforce experience driver manager) it works wonderfully.
For windows at least...

CUDA/physx support is only supported in wine-staging.

Got an update for you, I tested enabling PhysX on my AMD card and it runs fine. And I didn't use Wine Staging, just Proton 9.0.

Just tried it myself on Proton 9.0-3. same lag during segments with broken glass as always. did you do any additional steps?

Literally wine-staging, it's not some god forsaken fork.
There's also some convoluted way if you want it inside of steam but idk.

Nope, I didn't, it just worked out.

It seems it gives some lagging later in the game, when you have to fight Pirandello Kruger with guns. But at least initially when just doing parkour, it works fine.

Oh... Yeah thats normal. Its when cloths and glass is introduced (the stuff that PhysX is enable for) when the game starts going to crap. For me it gets unplayable untill i disable PhysX in settings.

The goal im looking for is to make the game playable with that option on, IN enviroments that massively take advantage of physx, such as the start of combat in any glass office.

I have the game through steam (and am bad at setting up wine enviroments) so thats what im trying to work with.
The video you linked doesnt show anything referring to wine staging. just creating and editing a gamefixes and installing something with protontools (that I alrealdy did).
Attempting to improvise it into actionable advice for this game results in an unlauncahble title.
