Symptoms

You can't launch the game with Battleye or play any Battleye protected servers but the game does allow you to play without it in both singleplayer/co-op and online on non-protected servers.

The game runs at a solid 60fps for me on almost all high graphics with the exception of frame drops. I'd assumed it was a shader cache issue (or whatever you call it) but it never stops. Every time you look in a new direction, the framerate will drop suddenly and shoot back up to 60. Every time you gather a resource node, every time you build an object etc, the same thing. Normally a drop that small wouldn't matter much but it actually causes an immense and jarring stuttering throughout the entirety of the game.

Start by reviewing the linked steam-440900.log and System Info report, then reproduce Conan Exiles with Proton 4.2.3 on the reported Linux setup. The reported outcomes are Battleye launch or protected-server support and removal of the described stuttering, but the issue does not identify source files, tests, or an implementation path.
