Text rendering incorrectly

As you can see in the image, since the new update text randomly becomes garbled and replaced with text from another area of the screen, usually of incorrect size or text. it happens in the chat and the "are you sure you want to quit" text too, and I'm unsure if my GPU is dying or if the game has borked this somehow. Currently running on a ubuntu based distro of linux with a 5 year old amd 5700xt. If the text changes or moves in any way it reverts back to normal. Sometimes it goes back to normal shortly after rendering.

It appears to be rendering strings and glyphs from elsewhere in the game. Affects pretty much any string seemingly at random.
 
Are you on linux too? I switched to vulkan and the game runs worse but all the artifacting is gone.

It seems to be only on text that uses fonts? it seems to be copying from the wrong area of the text buffer on the initial render until it is updated.
 
Ah, yeah I'm running on proton experimental using dx11. I'll probably won't switch to vulkan because I don't quite get enough FPS as is.

Edit: Switching to vulkan does seem to fix the issue.

seems to be a bug with Proton Experimental, the text is rendered correctly when i choose a different version of proton (tested with proton 10.0-4 and proton-cachyos-10 both seem to work with no issues)
 
Appreciate this thread, as I've been seeing this as well on Linux - I was wondering if I was going crazy with the weird font rendering.

I can confirm switching to Proton 10.0-4 seems to have resolved this.
