My system readout
You can note your issue below here
I installed Prey (2017) using the DRM free download on gog.com with Wine. Everything is working fine except for this weird blue "fog" (probably a draw distance thing) that appears in outdoors environments. Image is attached below.
Note any particular steps to reproduce it below here
I have not been able to find any other people experiencing this problem online, and have not seen the issue in any gameplay footage of the game.
!How the issue looks
EDIT: I solved this issue by adding the game as a non-steam game to steam, and then running it using Proton 8.0-2 in the compatibility settings. This has not only eliminated the blue fog issue, but also made the game run with a more stable framerate.

The easiest way to try this outside of Steam is with a game launcher like Lutris or Heroic. They'll handle Wine versions and runtimes like DXVK for you, or at least make managing them very easy.
I had previously tried both Lutris and Heroic. Lutris refuses to detect my dedicated GPU on my laptop and only works using the integrated one. While Heroic always crashes whenever I try to launch Prey with my dedicated GPU. I solved this problem earlier by adding the game as a non-steam game to steam. And then running it using Proton 8.0-2.
