Well, it's not like Back4Blood is worth it, even if it worked via Proton. :grin:

Feral Interactive have no plans to update their Linux ports for Steam Deck
21 Feb 2022 at 10:45 pm UTC

FWIW macOS versions of DLC for the likes of BioShock Infinite have been pulled from Steam. Linux versions still available. I still give them props for gamemode [External Link]. I surmise Aspyr have gone for greener pastures long ago (Switch and PC) while Feral Interactive are still trying to figure out their game plan.

Proton 7.0 out with Easy Anti-Cheat improvements, more games for Linux & Steam Deck

I thought they'd be automatic updates, I had to search the library and install them. Thanks for the news! I assume trying to play a game with EAC would require selecting/using Proton 7.0…?

Can't Lutris be installed if you really want to run Fortnite? It's Arch.

Dying Light 2 Stay Human is out and works well on Linux

I'm still messing with settings but, surprisingly, after changing Sharpness from 45 (default, I think) to 60 the game looked and played smoother. I've 'FSR, Quality' setting and, while I found it playable, there was noticeable chunkiness. I'm finding the parkour not as refined as DL1 and, I haven't tried again yet since the update, but I can't bind my mouse's side buttons, but those aren't Linux related problems. Other than that I'm enjoying the game and going back and forth between this and God or War.

Quoting: melkemindSo far I'm loving it. The very first time I started it, performance was really low, not sure why. I restarted it, and it worked well. With DLSS, it's excellent.
Similar here. Went to play again today and it was playing super smooth. Enabled FSR Ultra setting, stayed smooth, looked more beautiful.

God of War is now on Steam and runs out of the box on Linux with Proton

Manjaro KDE (Testing), i7-8700K, 5700XT, 1440p, it's running pretty damned well. I only got to play the game a little on the PS4 because the kids Bogart the system.
