Like a Dragon Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii runs through Proton, using the VK3DID since it uses DX12 on Windows, the game uses the in-house engine, Dragon Engine.

Performance is worse on Linux, and dispite the 1% Lows are much worse than the average, I can't really notice any bigger stutters on Linux or something really bad.
Framerate it is just worse, but that's it, no performance issues apart from that.

I did use The proton 9.0-4, proton experimental didn't add any performance compared to the 9.0-4
Hopefully in the future with better nvidia drivers and better proton versions the performance gap might close, fortunaly this isn't really a demanding game.

Regarding stability it is perfect on both, no crashes, everything works as it should.
