I’m still fairly new to the game, but I can’t seem to get rid of these strange shadows/artifacts under the cars. Everything else is perfect, but these shadows are driving me nuts.
They go away if I launch the game with DXVK, but then my fps tanks and I get terrible stuttering.
I’ve tried numerous different versions of proton, but nothing seems to help.
What Proton version, and which DXVK are you using? The shipped DXVK usually produces the best performance, so there’s something else going on here. What GPU and drivers, and since we’re at it, which distro?
Launch the non DXVK version of the game with DXVK_HUD=devinfo,fps,frametimes,gpuload,version,api,memory %command% and check the DXVK version.
Yes, DXVK is the translation layer of DX9 to Vulkan, it will be used on top of DX9 when running the non-DXVK version of the game, so basically adds overhead on top of the graphics stack, performance is usually worse, not better.
Based on my experience, the Proton version you're running, might be using an old DXVK (2.6 or something). You might have to manually update Proton's DXVK (https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk).
Just to sure, when you run DXVK_HUD, can you confirm the upgraded DXVK version? The shipped DXVK is on 2.4, but optimized for the game, you shouldn’t worry about it.
One more thing to try: disable FXAA if you’re using it
Also RRRE is a rather old game so you might be better off with a “vanilla” Proton Hotfix for example. Avoid Proton Experimental if you want to race Ranked
