What is your current Hw?
it is on my profile/avatar, the game is playable, but there is some stuttering with sometimes frames going below 20fps, but I guess on average the frame are like 50ish, because there's lots of part on the game where I get 60fps. (this is on medium settings) the problem is when it dips below 20 fps because it's really noticeable

I see. Did you try to disable shadows?
yes. Setting taskset -c 0-5 helped also and some tweaks on dxvk.conf also helped, now I'm going to test dxvk master there's some fixes for this game.
Funny thing is that it takes longer to configure it properly than actually playing it. I've already finished the main story.
also the game works better if you set the graphics to fullscreen, not window fullscreen, and uncap the frames to 144, or 120.
also I use taskset to use the physical cores on wineserver and starwarsjedifallen executable also renice -2. I have the game on Origin, I suppose on steam is easier, because you can gamemoderun it, but if you launch it from origin you can't.
Wish I knew how to script this . something like
starwars='pidof starwars';
🤔🤔 not good at scriptingdo renice -2 $starwars;
do taskset -cp 0-5 $starwars &&
if wineserver='pidof wineserver',
do renice -2 $wineserver,
do taskset -cp 0-5 $wineserver

I used taskset as well, and it did improve the overall game performance.
#!/bin/sh
wineserver=$(pidof wineserver)
starwars=$(pidof starwarsjedifal)
renice -2 -p $wineserver;
taskset -cp 0-5 $wineserver;
renice -2 -p $starwars;
taskset -cp 0-5 $starwars;
exit
adjust taskset to your physical cores.

you would then define a NOPASSWD rule in sudoers specifically for running this script then
I have found some updates in the last days with the precious support of the Wine AppDB Team.
It seems to be an issue related to missing certificates on Debian from release 10 onwards, and it applies to several other apps which might require dedicated SSL connections, such as Amazon Kindle for PC (any version). All the discussion is in the Wine AppDB comments thread:
https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=26175
I'll copy and paste the relevant text here below:
Here a workaround for Debian Testing (see also for a related issue: Debian bug #962596, message #43 ):
I will apply this workaround in the next weeks, and keep everyone posted in case works.
Cheers,
