since proton experimental works better (as in, works, but bad performance), are you on a distro which has proton-ge-custom available? Eg. on arch (and adjacent) https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/proton-ge-custom-bin / https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom is pretty baller. No idea if other distros have it packaged.
The github page does have the compiled version available under releases, but as for what you'd need to do to get it to steam requires some manual work, afaik. I've only used the packaged version.
The TLDR about proton-ge-custom is that it incorporates a lot of patches, newer dxvk, etc, bells and whistles and all that. Might work better than proton experimental, might not. Worth a try?
