I'm surprised that Source 2 didn't use Vulkan by default for all platforms. Why go back to DirectX 11? Windows 7 and the majority of video cards released in the past 3-4 years should easily support Vulkan on Windows and Linux.

Quoting: Mountain Man

Quoting: t3gHow’s the performance on the native version? Some people had better performance in the past with the Windows version running Proton + D9VK.

I've had some issues. The big outdoor firefight leading up to the missile launch was a stuttery mess but still playable. The game is smooth for the most part but certainly not as optimized as it should be. I've not tried it in Proton.

This is why so many people are cautious about Chinese money being used in American companies.

A Chinese company (Tencent) owns so much of Epic Games right now, but Sweeney still holds the majority. But what happens if he leaves or dies? I’m guessing his shares go to Tencent.

Besides the lack of Linux support on Epic Games Store, I don’t want to spend real money on that platform due to multiple shady businesses practices. I tend to lean towards GOG these days instead.

Does this still run better in Proton?

What’s nice about using GameHub is I can use Proton, DOSBox, and ScummVM with DRM free GOG games.

The number of threads used for pipeline compilation was tweaked this time too, hopefully reducing the performance impact on those with 6/8 core CPUs while also allowing CPUs with more than 12 cores to scale it up a bit. You can customize it with the dxvk.numCompilerThreads option.

Is this also available as a launch option?

I'm never going to support them by buying the Windows version and attempting to play on Proton. No one seems to be playing this game anyways, so screw them.
