ProtonDB doesnā€™t have any report yet but YouTube is full of videos of content creators that got early access to the game. I was curious to know if anyone tried it with Proton and how it worksā€¦

EDIT I just installed it and it seems to work out-of-the-box for me on Ubuntu 23.10 with a AMD 7900 XTX and AMD 5800X. Iā€™m getting around 55 fps at 3440x1440 with almost everything high beside having disabled V-Sync, DoF and Motion blur. AA set to TAA 2x.

Uh when is the last time you used proton? Thatā€™s not even slightly true. I just beat Baldurā€™s Gate 3, it ā€œjust workā€, zero issues from protonā€™s side of things. I play Genshin Impact too, which works with zero configuration or anything. Even the anti cheat they made compatible with it.

I can attest to this. I donā€™t play the absolute newest games, but I canā€™t think of a single title that did not work with Proton-GE, without any tinkering past likeā€¦ early 2022. It has been very smooth, no matter the kind of game. Of course, minus the known offenders like Destiny 2 or R6 Siege

Every other game I play needs some special command line argument.
Baldurā€™s Gate, for example, but that was the other comment that used that as their example.

Have you read the Proton patch notes? People work hard to make that work.

Yes, but generally itā€™s not ā€œthe communityā€ like how mods work, itā€™s a project run by Valve who controls the review and release process. Sometimes patches come from ā€œthe community,ā€ and sometimes they come from paid developers, but they all go through Valve.

You can choose to use a community Proton build like GloriousEggrollā€™s builds, but them thatā€™s something more like a mod than a patch to an official project.
