You should check proton logs. Add the following to launch options: ‘PROTON_LOG=1 %command%’. Then launch the game, you should see log file appear in your home directory.

Also, what’s your graphics card?

I wouldn’t consider Audio-Technica anywhere “gaming” related, can be pricey though.

I have a ATH-G1WL (wireless) and ATH-AVA400 (wired) and cannot hear any difference in sound quality what-so-ever, except the 3m cable I have to fiddle with now, which I also have to physically move when changing devices.

Bluetooth also sucks for mice and keyboard, so yeah…

You clearly haven’t used wireless headphones in last 10 years, have you?
