In my case runs good on pentium but this game needs csmt

Xubuntu 16.04 x64 - Kernel 4.13.0-16 generic (ubuntu mainline) - CPUFreq:
Performance

CPU: INTEL Pentium G3258 (Haswell 22nm) 4.1Ghz + Artic Cooling Alpine 11 Plus

MEMORY: 8GB DDR3 1333 (2x4) Patriot value (128 bit dual channel: 21.3 gb/s)

GPU: Gigabyte Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050 OC (GP107 14nm: 640 Shaders / 40 TMUS /
32 ROPS) Windforce 2GB DDR5 7000Mhz 128Bit (110Gb/s)

MAINBOARD: MSI H81M E3

However as other said this game needs very high single thread, specially dx9
wine implementation is very single thread hungry

Pentium G3258 @ 4.1ghz give 152 points on cinebench R15 single thread compared
single thread of your fx 6350

And my actual Core i3 8350K Tri-Core 5.0ghz + Coolermaster Hyper T4 give 215
points on cinebench R15 single thread

Actually stay testing using proton with my actual machine ans runs 60 all time
with csmt
