I think that happens because the files are different between linux and windows versions. The only way to get around this is make a SteamWindows library and move your windows versions to that folder and never connect that to steam within linux, this way you can keep both native and windows versions.

You can launch the windows version via steamplay if your comparing performance by using the add non-steam app shortcut option!

for ntfs you gotta set correct UID, and there are a couple flags you can use to improve performance, plus the compat folder should be symlinked to the home/steam folder location.

Most of its documented in the steamplay wiki which absolutely nobody reads apparently!

Quoting: jarhead_hit's sad to see most people using products for a company that doesn't care about helping open source.

Maybe one day AMD will start making top end cards that can fit in a ITX case again... I have a 1080TI mini, show me the AMD version? it has never existed! So really its AMD's own fault. People buy what suits them, and so far NVIDIA is the only company that makes cards for EVERYBODY no matter what, you want speed and ITX form factor, no problem... (one example).

I think Valve should also release with this a wireless upgrade pack, this whole tether thing is a turnoff for VR, at least for me.

Waiting for the day when Vive and Rift companies suddenly decide to go for large FOV headsets (110fov is not large, 180 is). I really don't like the idea of wearing a ski-mask, surprised so many people are content with that, it would drive me mad!

Upgrade your experience

"Downgrade your price"

If price is your only concern then you can just get the first gen headsets for a bargain, second hand that is.

Once Star Citizen 3.5 drops I'll download it and give it a shot, see how she runs. I hear 3.5 has performance improvements worth talking about... we will see.

Can't wait for when SC gets Vulkan, that will just be amazeballs...

It's possible for your proton versions to get corrupted, I had to PURGE proton entirely from my system and start again because steam was getting confused about installing it correctly and I had pre-existing broken proton files around the place.

Also proton doesn't like running directly from NTFS drives, you need to symlink compat data folder (as per wiki instructions).

Quoting: NeoTheFoxThis, right here, is why I'm a Steam loyalist. GOG may be DRM free, but they sure are useless for Linux

Well you can add in any GOG game and run it via proton via the in steam shortcut system, it works for the most part but be warned it creates invalid game paths initially and you must go into the shortcut and select target again.

The main problem I have with GOG is that some games have disabled features because the developers want a authentication method to enable them (ie NMS multiplayer). So you get a inferior product on GOG with some titles, GOG need to add that feature into Galaxy quickly and also release it for Linux/Mac users.
