I tried during the recent free fly but couldn't get it to start. It basically failed at device creation. Might have been that my wine-ge-8.26 was not up to date enough for it to run. I did see someone on youtube do a DX11/Vulkan comparison on Linux with proton-ge-9.5 and had it working. From that comparison there was no real advantage yet.
Seems like they need to enable their multi-threaded renderer to make things better. Besides that, the server performance was terrible and it resulted in nothing but problems. So my test session was not extensive.

You do need very recent Wine (I'm using latest + esync + dxvk / vkd3d-proton in general).

Yeah, the main reason for Vulkan is multi-threaded rendering and that hasn't been included yet.
When I tried it a couple of years ago, I managed to get 40-50 fps in busy places and 60 in quiet areas. Now I get less than 30 in cities, so the game has taken a beating on Wine.
It should be free again starting tonight and I still have it installed. So I may try to get Vulkan running again.
