Did you wait at all? Slow performance when you first open a game is sort of normal because of shader compilation. It's a side effect of the translation layer used to run Direct3D games on Vulkan. Once shaders are all compiled the slowdown should go away.

I waited a bit but didn't seem to improve. I intent to try again and play with it. I just didn't have time or mindspace for it, just wanted to play the game for a bit si booted to Windows.

To add to this, you can also boot apex in the dx12 mode on Linux (this will switch it from DXVK to VKD3D).

The benefit of this is that the game will generate most shaders at the title screen ahead of time. This greatly improves first play experience at the cost of having to wait a little bit the first time you open the game.

There is a launch command for it? I might try

On Steam, I use -novid -anticheat_settings=SettingsDX12.json
