Quoting: thykrIt baffles me that non-native is much faster than native.

I really hope someday some smart software engineers will be able to explain why it is that way.

It's because none of them are really native, they all (including Feral & Co) use wrapper libraries. So to call those releases "ports" are really quite misleading.

Feral said they actually rewrote the rendering system for Rise of the Tomb Raider...

If it's made to run on another platform, it's a port.

If they can change things, I wonder why they didn't added linux exclusive features to the game, like press whatever button for 1st person view.

Quoting: elmapuli'm really disapointed, i was saying "there is no reason to run those games on proton, they already run on wine"
well, looking at those numbers, looks like we were wasting more performance than i thought and its hard to support aspy/feral with ports like that.

even if i want, i cant afford to pay an hardware much better than the needed to play the games, using windows is just cheaper at that point, using it and donating the money i saved on hardware to some floss software seems to be an better contribution than be just an number...

I don't know where you live, but here in Argentina, a Windows licence costs about 200 U$D.... For that money you can buy a more powerful processor.

Hey, mrdeathjr! I am waiting for your Proton vs Native videos.

Quoting: GuestIn the short run Proton is getting us more games, but in the long run it is encouraging developers to not even recognize Linux as a platform: they will keep writing software for Windows, they will still not support Linux, and they will have one less reason to even consider developing their games with a multiplatform focus from the start.

Eventually Microsoft will close their garden and will force developers to join The Windows Store: If your game or software is not there, suddenly it will not work on windows 10 or the next windows...
I don't see big publishers like EA and Ubisoft closing their respective clients for to join the Windows Store....
I don't see Indie devs joining the Windows Store.

Remember that this was the reason why Valve decided to make the Linux incursion... and it will happen, maybe after the EOL of Windows 7, in a year.

What about both Metro Redux, liam?
Borderlands 2?
Borderlands: The pre-sequel?

About Deus Ex Mankind Divided, remember that the Windows version is Denuvo infected.

I support the Steamplay/Proton initiative for Three reasons:

*No need to boot in my Windows 7 machine for to play Steam games (only for Uplay, Origin and GOG Galaxy)

*Buy and play windows games, with the purchase being counted as a Linux sale.

*Buy native Linux games, making the purchase being counted as Linux sale, and play the windows version because the Linux port is broken or abandonware.

I'm gonna try this with Tomb Raider 2013 and both Metro Redux.

For the next update, it will be useful to have a ProtonCFG button just below "Force the use of an specific Steam play compatibility tool".. Sometimes you need a 32bit prefix.. sometimes you need to install an specific library or codec
