Quoting: michaldybczakHow do we enable Wayland driver in Wine and in Proton (when based on Wine 9)?
Compile with Wayland enabled (--with-wayland) and then enable the driver in the registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wine\Drivers\Graphics="wayland,x11"

Quoting: XpanderThis is the site i used yes.. For example EA Sport WRC shows unsupported, but i have been playing it since launch. Clocked 75 hours in it. Sons of the Forest is another one. Works perfectly.
Portal RTX, WRC Generations, WRC 10, Dirt Rally 2.0, RAGE, State of Mind, Mafia, Mafia 3 Definitive Edition, Valley, Project Cars 2, Elder Scroll online just to name few that are marked as unsupported but working without issues on my Linux PC.

But i guess they are somehow unsupported on Steam Deck maybe.

Edit: What i meant that they were tested by valve but marked unsupported i guess due deck incompatibilities?
EA WRC actually checks for and refuses to run on the deck (unless SteamDeck=0 is set).

I guess Valve just respects the game developers decision in this case.

Quoting: hardpenguinGood question. It sports Platinum rating on ProtonDB through Proton so I guess you can stick with it. Or try both.
I think laziness and Proton wins this time.

But I guess it wont be long before Roberta adds support for the titles on Steam and I shall go back to pondering...

I was actually about to start playing The Dark Eye today. Now I need to ponder. To ScummVM or not to ScummVM?

I need to give The Binding of Isaac a try. It's constantly on these top lists.

Shamefully I've had it sitting in the library unplayed since that Humble Indie Bundle back in '11.
