Just rebuilt my computer, I have Linux 20.04, a SSD, 64gigs of ram, 8 on the graphics card and a cpu that does 4 ghz. When I reloaded the game it is so laggy it’s unplayable. Suggestion welcome. 
Try using different fullscreen options like windowed borderless.
Thanks, I’ll try that.

That seems to help a little but still too laggy to play.

As a Linux user, I suppose you’re using Wine to run SWL.
By default Wine will use the OpenGL renderer, and its performances are not really good with SWL, you gotta use Vulkan renderer.
- In your SWL wineprefix, use winetricks to install a few dlls
WINEPREFIX=/path/to/wineprefix winetricks d3dx9_43 d3dx11_43 d3dcompiler_43 dxvk vcrun2015
-
Then winecfg, go to libraries tab, and set d3d9 to builtin (else the launcher will be buggy)
-
Start SWL launcher, go to options, and set the game to DirectX11 (DX9 got an issue with shadows on Linux)
-
Enjoy the game
Dx11 is more prone to crash than dx9, but that’s a game issue (dating from tsw times) that never got fixed (and will never be).
Also, if you’re using a Nvidia gfx card, go for the proprietary driver, the open source one is unfortunately terrible
