I’ve been facing issues with low GPU utilization in Resident Evil 4 Remake, even after upgrading from a GTX 1080 to a 7800XT. On Arch Linux, I’ve tried different versions of Proton with various launch commands, but nothing seems to work. While it runs perfectly on Windows, this problem is peculiar to Linux for me. My proton log shows some errors related to the AMDGPU broken kernel, but these don’t seem to resolve the utilization and performance troubles. I’m at a loss on what steps to take next after trying different kernels, Proton versions, and launch commands. Any tips or solutions? Here’s the log if anyone’s curious: [https://pastes.io/re4-proton-log](https://pastes.io/re4-proton-log)

Had a similar problem with my RX 6600 XT on RE4. After testing stuff from ProtonDB and GitHub, I fixed it with some launch commands: `DISABLE_LAYER_AMD_SWITCHABLE_GRAPHICS_1=1 VK_ICD_FILENAMES=/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.i686.json:/usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/radeon_icd.x86_64.json %command%`. Not sure why, but it worked for me—maybe worth a shot?
Thanks for the suggestion! Tried those, but still having issues. FPS is stuck at 30-40 with crazy stuttering, and GPU utilization is erratic while CPU usage stays around 20%. It’s pretty frustrating.
