I can confirm there are a drop from perfect 60fps to 1fps during change of scenes.
and as is stated in this issue, the load time between stages is 60 secs or more.

Apart from that, the game is playable.
BTW thanks for developing such a good product.

I have played SoR4 on 5.8 GE and confirmed that the loading issues are not present. There must be something patched either in Wine, or in something that GE has added, which solves the issue.

Loading issue with Proton-5.8-GE-1 are fixed, but online play are terrible slow. Great latency and very low FPS.
