Tips to make the game run smooth on Linux

This guide will show you some tips to make Hogwarts Legacy run a little more stable.
The issue with Upscaling
There's an issue a few people have had, where the game runs at a smooth 60+ FPS for about an hour, and then suddenly drops to 20 FPS and never recovers. If this is happening to you, turning off upscaling should help.
To compensate for not having upscaling, you may need to turn down graphics settings and possibly render the game at a lower resolution. 66% resolution worked best for me, it doesn't affect the image as much as you'd think.
If this doesn't apply to you, just skip this section and move on to the next.
Use GE-Proton7-49
GloriousEggroll7-49 allows for a more stable experience.
Installation
Download GE-Proton7-49 from GitHub.
Navigate to your Steam directory, usually located at ~/.local/share/Steam:
Create a folder named compatibilitytools.d:
Open the archive you downloaded earlier, you'll see a folder named GE-Proton7-49.
Extract that folder into the directory you just created.
Caution: Put the folder here directly, not its contents.Restart Steam, and you're good to go.
Forcing the game to use GE-Proton7-49
Open Steam and navigate to your Library.
Find Hogwarts Legacy, right-click it, and select "Properties".
Click on "Compatibility" and check the box labelled "Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool".
Click the drop down list and select GE-Proton7-49.
Note: If you don't see the option there, something went wrong and you need to reinstall it.
Use Gamemode
GameMode optimises the OS and game processes to give more resources to the game you're playing. It basically allows for less stuttering and usually more performance from your graphics card.
Installing GameMode
Installing GameMode is a little different for each distro, but it should be in your package manager.
For pacman (Arch):
sudo pacman -S gamemode
For apt (Debian/Ubuntu):
sudo apt install gamemode
Requesting GameMode for Steam Games
Open Steam and go to your Library.
Find Hogwarts Legacy, right-click it, and select "Properties".
Under "Launch options", type:
gamemoderun %command%
Note: If there are already things in your launch options, put this command at the end. If the game crashes on load, remove the other launch options and only use gamemode for the moment.
Limit the FPS
To limit the FPS for the game, add DXVK_FRAME_RATE= followed by the FPS you want to limit the game to, into the Launch Options in Steam.
For example, to limit the game to 60 FPS, you would use:
DXVK_FRAME_RATE=60
Fix Fast Travel crashes
If you're crashing while fast travelling, try the following steps:
Open a terminal.
Type the following command:
sudo sh -c "echo 1000000 > /proc/sys/vm/max_map_count"
Open the game and check if the issue is fixed.
Checking it worked
To check it worked, you can read the value back:
cat /proc/sys/vm/max_map_count
If you see 1000000, the fix has been applied.
Note: Don't worry if this doesn't work or breaks something else, this is only temporary, and a simple reboot will revert everything.
Make it permanent
This is a temporary fix. If you want to make it permanent, you'll need to add:
vm.max_map_count = 1000000
to /etc/sysctl.conf.
If you don't make it permanent, you'll have to re run the command each time you log in.

If you're interested in understanding what you've just changed, check out sysctl-explorer.net for more details.
Install the Game on an SSD
I debated whether to include this as a tip at all, I wanted to share tips that work regardless of PC specs. However, if you have some space on an SSD, install the game there, even if it's not an NVMe drive. It will help fix issues with texture pop in and longer load times.
Problems with these Tips
These tips are only things we can do on our side to give the game the best chance to shine. They cannot fix issues with the game's code, which should be obvious, but it's worth stating.
You will still experience:
Crashing
FPS drops after longer sessions
Lags
None of us have the ability to fix these issues. I know this sounds obvious to a lot of us, but some people have little understanding of what these "fixes" can and cannot do.
