Outer Worlds Spacers Choice Edition: Horrible, Nausea inducing texture/model flickering. Please help? (self.linux_gaming)

I am trying to get Outer Worlds: Spacers Choice edition working, but it has horrible texture flickering, regardless of the proton version of in game graphic settings.

And I dont mean like, color strobing or anything, World Textures and NPCs both flicker rapidly in and out of existence, to the point you can see through them to whats behind them. I have never had an issue with flickering lights or anything before, but its so intense its even causing me nausea to look at it.

I have tried many combinations of in game graphic settings from low to ultra, with no effect whatsoever.

I have also tried several different versions of proton ( Experimental, 7.0-6, 8.0-2 and various versions of GE Proton from 7-20 to 8-6 ) None of which has altered the behavior in any way.

I'm on Ubuntu 22.04, Using Wayland, and my MESA drivers are up to date. I have a RX580 and a 5600x CPU, with 16g of ram. Edit: I am also on kernal 6.3, not an older one.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thank you.

edit

Changed video cards from a rx480 to a 6700xt and it worked fine. game must have had some issue with Polaris.

That's truly odd, I'm running a Ryzen 5600G and a 6700XT and the game is rock solid (Fedora 38, Gnome, Wayland). Runs great on Steam Deck as well. I wonder if the RX580 is the culprit? If MESA is up to date, try a newer kernel for updated Radeon driver? (I assume as Ubuntu 22.04 is LTS that you're on an older kernel)

Ah, Sorry, I knew I was forgetting something. No, I updated to Kernal 6.3 some time ago, Which i think is the latest stable?
