Quoting: t3gI heard that the native version has FPS issues and you get better performance by installing the Windows version with Proton and D9VK.
Last time I tried native with Xen update it didn't work at all. I did try briefly d9vk and that seems to run really well. I've been waiting for the entire project to be complete before I started my play through.
I was basing it off of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V58bfGoOWTo [External Link] and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRkTzrPnvXs [External Link]

No effect as RMS condemned non-free software which most games are.

Try out GameHub. Merges GOG and Steam libraries and if you are using a Windows game in Linux, can leverage Proton, DOSBox, and ScummVM for non native games.

I use GameHub for GOG games and like how they integrate native DOSBox and ScummVM. Would like to see Valve take the same approach for Steam Play out of the box. :-)

Considering the recent shootings where Republicans are blaming games for them, this game released at a bad time and is in bad taste. Especially school shootings.

Steam Play Proton 4.11 released, a pretty huge release pulling in D9VK and a replacement for esync

Quoting: jarhead_hI'm not saying you have to re-buy your GOG library over on Steam, but you should really start buying stuff there if you aren't already.

You keep saying that you want to reward developers that support Linux, well I'd say that Valve counts.
If you use GameHub and import your GOG library, it will allow you to use Proton like Steam. It’s pretty neat.

99.9% of game playing is on mobile, console, and PC.
For us Linux gamers, PC is a general term and it would have been more accurate if he just said “PCs running Windows”

It would be nice to have something similar for AMD users that we can opt in for. Maybe keep the standard packages but also offer a -latest set of packages that always keep you current.
