Another release of GE-Proton is already available, the third in the space of a week and GE-Proton 7-46 includes some DirectX 12 fixes for Steam Deck and Linux desktop. The previous release also removed DXVK-Async, a popular patch people were using to improve the shader cache stuttering issue.
For GE-Proton 7-46 here's the games that had their DirectX 12 mode fixed:
- Warhammer 40,000: Darktide.
- Death Stranding.
- The Division 2.
But it's noted that Monster Hunter Rise is still problematic.
Here's a video going over how to install and use it, a run over the patch notes with an example of The Division 2 DX12 mode now working and some settings to pick for it:

The performance on my rig(r7 5700x, 6700xt, 16gb ddr4 on Lutris) it's sucks!!! I hope with this new Proton release works better than now.

I'm yet to try again, but last time I played on my Linux Mint 20 I had performance issues. Turns out that Radeon driver didn't ramp up the GFX when needed. I found a manual script to do it for me; otherwise it stayed at idle clocks and it's pretty much 50% off of the performance.
Now only if any of these systems actually recognized & worked easily, for I know I am quite adept with linux and still I struggled to figure out what's the cause and even more so as to how to fix it.

I don't think that it's a GPU Drivers problem, actually I can play Horizon Zero Dawn (and others) in Ultra setting. The Division 2 it's look not to be optimized as it should, we need wait for some patch. Even some Windows users have some problems with this game.The performance on my rig(r7 5700x, 6700xt, 16gb ddr4 on Lutris) it's sucks!!! I hope with this new Proton release works better than now.
