Yeahhh. I think PhysX is completely borked for AMD graphics cards, even on windows.
But for NVIDIA GPU's, you can delete some outdated binaries in the games instalation and if you have PhysX installed (IE via the geoforce experience driver manager) it works wonderfully.
For windows at least...

CUDA/physx support is only supported in wine-staging.

Got an update for you, I tested enabling PhysX on my AMD card and it runs fine. And I didn't use Wine Staging, just Proton 9.0.

HUHHH? on AMD?
and you have cloth physics and no laggy glass and everything?

Just tried it myself on Proton 9.0-3. same lag during segments with broken glass as always. did you do any additional steps?

Are you refering to this? https://github.com/kakra/wine-proton
Im not sure how to setup what youre suggesting.

Literally wine-staging, it's not some god forsaken fork.
There's also some convoluted way if you want it inside of steam but idk.

Nope, I didn't, it just worked out.

It seems it gives some lagging later in the game, when you have to fight Pirandello Kruger with guns. But at least initially when just doing parkour, it works fine.

Oh... Yeah thats normal. Its when cloths and glass is introduced (the stuff that PhysX is enable for) when the game starts going to crap. For me it gets unplayable untill i disable PhysX in settings.

The goal im looking for is to make the game playable with that option on, IN enviroments that massively take advantage of physx, such as the start of combat in any glass office.

I have the game through steam (and am bad at setting up wine enviroments) so thats what im trying to work with.
The video you linked doesnt show anything referring to wine staging. just creating and editing a gamefixes and installing something with protontools (that I alrealdy did).
Attempting to improvise it into actionable advice for this game results in an unlauncahble title.

Wanted to play it one more time with PhysX before GPU upgrade, but I guess using Linux gave me the 50 series experience for free because as I understand unless you wanna pull all your hair out there is no real way to make it work on proton, and this is exactly why linux gaming is stuck, 95% of ProtonDB ratings just say turn it off, then people surprised why Nvidia takes it away at the hardware level.
Constant downgrades, every company constant breaking backwards compatibility for no reason and people like it.
On my personal Linux compatibility rating the game is don't bother assuming you have PhysX compatible hardware which I guess in the future is gonna become a rarity because people with no standards let these companies break everything.

Nvidia took away 32-bit PhysX support for Blackwell, not PhysX support entirely, although i wouldn't be surprised if one day they do kill off even 64-bit PhysX

and yeah i agree with you on them prematurely killing off backwards compatibility; Turing and newer architectures don't fully support DirectX9, so many older games relying on it have performance and/or stability issues if you have a more recent Nvidia GPU. while there are ways to deal with it (DXVK, Nvidia Inspector, etc) and not every game using DirectX9 will yield such issues, it still is a problem that it's widely known.

Nvidia is actually the only one that seemingly never tried to skim on the d3d9 driver.
It's far more likely you have issues due to windows quirks than that.
