I have been experiencing minor graphical issues on several Steam games. I have only encountered issues through Steam. GOG games launched through Heroic and Lutris seem to work flawlessly. I am using Arch Linux and my GPU is an AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT. I'd be grateful for any help

I tried that along with GE Proton to no avail sadly.

While I'm unfamiliar with Arch I am with steam.

Use custom commands to launch! If it's working just fine on heroic launcher you can actually add the game into your launcher its known to work in like for instance heroic launcher games can be added to steam just do the reverse.

I'd look into the log file which requires a command in steam to see and look what error its throwing that'll nail it down exactly then you know what to do to fix the issue.

To do this you have to manually add the custom command under your specific game in the steam, game, cog wheel, properties maybe, then you'll find a tab called commands or something it's just a single line text box. Add this exactly. PROTON_LOG=1 %command%

The file should go to your home folder somewhere you'll have to look possibly under steam folder. There's all kinds of these steam commands online for every issue so if this tells you nothing simply look for steam commands based on your issue and run a few till you nail it down. Best of luck! You can fix this!

FYI AMD is usually rock solid Nvidia is where a lot of issues come in, so its not your hardware so don't trip on that. All AMD for the win. I have a 6700xt as well so I'm usually spot on with knocking out bugs.
