So this is rather a strange experience I'm having and I would like to know if anyone has similar experiences or tips maybe.
Starting off last year (Around August) I first dived into Linux Systems and installed my usual Game on WINE (9.0 Staging packaged by CachyOS) and at the time, it ran out of the Box without me needing to tweak anything, the experience felt the same as running it on Windows and played continuously until November.
Fast forward to now (this week) I've reinstalled my system (same distribution) now to enable dual-booting, and I'm completely unable to repeat that functioning, I first tried with the Stable 10.0 release to no avail, then I've reinstalled my system again to run the same WINE I did back then but the result is the same, somehow the game is now hanging up on different parts of the initialization process (Launcher --> Anti-Cheat load-up --> Game load-up) but never reaching even the Log-in screen (Standalone Online Game) out of the box
However, using Proton-GE as the runner, managed by Bottles, it perfectly fine loads up, and I consistently get to enter into the game using it, however performance is terrible, nothing like my first experience and I crash as soon as I try to start an activity. Regarding this I have noticed the game no longer uses my FULL RAM like it used to (it stops at around 75% where it used to top it 95%) and that's using SWAP, if I instead use ZSWAP performance is far better but data corruption and crashes still occur
Dual-booting to Windows the game runs normally (which is laggy but still playable) so I do not think my hardware is at fault at this point, I'm even wondering if the game developers just instated "A WINE check" to just make the game not launch on Linux but disregarding Proton since they do distribute on STEAM. Anyhow i would like to know if anyone has had something like this come up before? Game can be downloaded at: https://elsword.koggames.com/download/ (Free to play) by the way
