Just Cause 4 only runs well with Lutris (lemdro.id)

As the title says, I want to play the Epic Games version of Just Cause 4. I have got the same version of wine as the version Lutris uses - wine-ge-8.26 - and I've copied the wine prefix to get the same files exactly. I run Just Cause 4, and on Lutris is runs at an easy 60fps on High, but from the CLI it runs at about 20fps on Low. Anyone have an idea for why this happens?

Check what environmental variables and launch options Lutris is using, and if stuff like gamemoderun is being used, which can help with performance a little or a lot depending on your hardware.

How much log information is being printed to the console? If it's logging something every frame then that could be using a ton of resources.

Lutris runs games with bunch of stuff like their runtime, dxvk, vkd3d, dxvk-nvapi, dgvoodoo etc I think checking your lutris settings for what all is enabled and running the game using those may help

yes, i installed dxvk from winetricks as opposed to manually. that solved my issue. thank you for the help.

Glad that you got it working. I haven't played jc4, but from what I've seen of it I think that jc3 is vastly superior to jc4
