Description
What the title says. Without mods the game seems to run perfectly fine but with mods enabled the game has very inconsistent frame pacing and can't go beyond the 32-38 FPS range, despite only using about 40% of my GPU. This happens on both X11 and Wayland and regardless of what Proton version I use. I have a dual-boot Windows/Linux setup and on Windows the game runs at a smooth 60 FPS with or without mods, so it's a Linux-only issue for me.
Specs:
OS: CachyOS
Kernel: Linux 7.0.11-1-cachyos
DE: KDE Plasma 6.6.5
CPU: Intel Core i7-14700F (28) @ 5.40 GHz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti (8 GB)

Research direction
Start by reproducing Sonic Frontiers with mods on CachyOS, comparing X11 and Wayland and the Proton versions mentioned in the report. Trace the Linux mod-launching path in HedgeModManager and compare it with an unmodded run; done means identifying and correcting the cause of the inconsistent 32–38 FPS frame pacing.
