This is exactly what people were criticizing Proton before it even became a thing.
And its not first nor last game this will happen with.
B4B is another example from my personal library.

GE-Proton 7-44 is out with multiple game-specific fixes, plus initial HDR work

Quoting: scirocco
Quoting: drjomsDid anyone get HDR working with this one?|
If yes, do you need to enable a variable or something?
Well you need a patched kernel so its a pain to get working. I got it working by using Nobara 37, and their own gamescope-session, but its pretty buggy and HDR does not work with every game. And being used to Holoiso, Nobara is so slow.
I was able to run patched MPV in console and have 'HDR' enabled on my monitor.(I am gentoo nerd)
I suspect I have what it takes for HDR?
Is gamescope a requirement? I thought that Proton is all needed?
Can i see links you used?

would be curious to know if Zync can work with current implementation. And if yes - how bad is it.

Quoting: Cmdr_IrasInteresting project; though I have of course just swapped my Nvidia GTX1070 for a AMD RX 6700XT.
Lol, 3 years ago i swapped, gtx780 for 5700xt. Its very competent card for 1080P, and i manage to play tonnes of titles either with full settings or FSR enabled on 1440P. But I am thinking to upgrade for something else :D After article I was thinking about Nvidia again, though performance from looks of it sucks.

Valve dev teases HDR support for Linux Gaming

Quoting: CatKillerHaving Steam not die when you're using anything other than 8—bit colour would probably be a good start.
Its probably a limitation of your DE/Chromium on Linux, which is used as basis for Steam Client.

Death Stranding Director's Cut has an annoying issue that can reboot your Steam Deck

My post may have happened BEFORE you made an update or WHILE you were making it. or I did read earlier version of article, wanted to respond, let it be for some time and THEN submitted my comment.

Death Stranding Director's Cut has an annoying issue that can reboot your Steam Deck

The bug is NOT in Death Stranding.
Bug is in driver/hardware of Steamdeck. Dev was just nice enough to address it in game's code.
Bug should be submitted with valve/GPU/Driver maker.

FSR 2.1 is a game-changer for Cyberpunk 2077 on Steam Deck
9 Nov 2022 at 4:32 pm UTC

Quoting: MohandevirGood grief! I will have to do a 3rd run! I feel so miserable! :grin:

Edit: I did my second run on Steam Deck with the SteamOS FSR because I found the in-game one being... Meh... I found some weird "upscaling pixelization". Looking forward to test FSR 2.1.
HDR is there, just not for the games and overall programs.
