So how is gaming performance now? Is it better?

Quoting: mahagrHas someone tested what's the current performance difference between a native version and Proton using the same settings?

NVIDIA releases open source Linux GPU kernel modules, Beta Driver 515.43.04 out

The article should have explained what is open-source and what is not. I assume the driver itself is still not open source

Quoting: JuliusNice to see that their codebase and build process for Linux is not some obscure afterthought and should be relatively easy to maintain in the future.

The game itself is sadly a bit meh and while there is some experimental multiplayer support, it seems like the overall engine design doesn't really lend itself to expanding that further.

Would be nice though if someone took that awesome procedural animation system and made a library for Godot out of it or integrate it with Blender or so.
The game itself is awesome (and by game I mean the engine), have you never tried the editor mode? You can do a lot of things there way easier than on a normal engine

So for games to benefit from this, does every single SDL game needs to incorporate this new version of SDL for that do happen? Or does it just needs the steam runtime SDL (or the one from the repos) to get updated?

Thank you aspyr for the Linux port of this game in a time where proton didn't exist. Thanks to them I played it and it was a great game. If I were to replay it now I would probably use proton.
