Game specific guide (e.g. The Witcher 3, Elden Ring, GTA V) showing how to apply these settings for each title within Lutris?

Here’s a game‑specific tuning guide for Lutris on Arch/Manjaro, showing how to apply performance tweaks per title. This way you can tailor DXVK, FSR, Proton GE, and environment variables to each game instead of relying only on global settings.

Popular Game Examples

The Witcher 3

• Runner: Wine/Proton GE

• Enable DXVK for DirectX 11 → Vulkan translation

• Environment variables:

  bash<?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = "[default] http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" NS = "http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" />

  WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1
  DXVK_HUD=1
  

• Use Esync/Fsync for smoother multithreading

Elden Ring

• Runner: Proton GE (latest build recommended)

• Enable FSR2 for better FPS scaling

• Environment variables:

  bash

  WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1
  WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR_STRENGTH=2
  

• Disable VSync in Lutris options to reduce stutter

GTA V

• Runner: Wine Staging or Proton GE

• Enable VKD3D for DirectX 12 support

• Environment variables:

  bash

  __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1
  WINEDEBUG=-all
  

• Use Gamemode for CPU governor optimization

1. Open Lutris → Right‑click game → Configure.

2. Go to Runner Options → enable DXVK/VKD3D, Esync/Fsync.
