I've noticed all the people I have looked at saying "Proton runs better" are using a Nvidia card :dizzy:

Me personally both TR and BL2 run far beter native than Proton! OSS FTW :grin:

Lutris 0.5.10 Beta 1 is out with Origin and Ubisoft Connect integration

Quoting: Cmdr_IrasFlatpak will certainly make installing Lutris on the Steam Deck much easier, no need to faff with switching to 'Dev' mode.
My understanding is it would work the same way as on Android? So anything will install via steam but dev mode is needed to install any other program ect.

Quoting: pete910Never had a native break, Only problem I have had is them abandoning them! Am looking at you Gearbox !!

Cant say I've had a lot of luck with proton on native builds. I have tried running borderlands 2 through proton but it's a terrible experience compared to the native.
This is strange, my experience with BL 2 is quite exactly the opposite. I was surprised to see that Proton now even manages to show the desktop launcher (I once had forgotten to switch that launcher files). Performance was way better with Proton, and I also noticed that some effects seem to be missing in the native version, which looked kind of dull in comparison.

Many more of my native games just work better with Proton, for example Dead Island, Dying Light, Trine, ETS 2, Thalos Principle.
Am using a AMD card, That's probably the diff. Theses OSS drivers are mega :grin:

Quoting: GuerrillaIt seems strange to me that Valve is validating all of these non-native games but seems to be skipping right over all the native ones. Certainly it would be faster to verify/mark playable native games, given that there's no need to be concerned with a game breaking.

/tin foil hat on

Sort of makes me think Valve would prefer developers to make games for Windows that just target a Proton version rather than encourage native development.

/tin foil hat off
Native games breaking is not uncommon though. In fact, often you're better off running the Windows version.
