Ukraine needs help, they need weapons, they need medicine, they need volunteers, they need basic things. Saving Ukraine now will also save Russia. Or else we all need a lot of luck.

I see what you did in there.

No that won't help, they will think that is evil NATO sanctions for poor innocent people making them even more poor.

Quoting: johndoeNo, I think this is the right thing to do.
Stop everything (beside internet access) with russia as possible. All russian people should start to demonstrate against Putin and force him to resign.

Why besides internet access? So they can get western information? Maybe you are correct, but I think if the cables connecting Russia to other countries were severed that could have a pretty big impact too...

Yes, the internet is the only way for russians the SEE/READ the truth instead of Putins propaganda. They are already censored in many ways since years.
The willing russian will find/knows ways to omit the censorship.

Nobody is actually willing to hear the sad truth, the propaganda sounds more comfortable.

I understand people behind sanctions but things do not work this way here. People will just consolidate and finally China will benefit from everything. That is because everyone here is in special kind of information bubble in which Putin is right and nation hero. So to avoid same thing happenning again there should be something which makes people see what is really going on. Thinking people already protesting but that is in vain because they have zero support.

Quoting: prosoorI am sorry but in this game, men are using unborn babies like they are some kind of tools. I can't morally accept it.

Drop your activist brain to the trash and actually play the game, somebody manipulated you into totally wrong conclusion.

Quoting: jensI'm noticing the black structures as well. Really sad since this was the first AAA game I had completed on Linux, loved nearly every minute of that game.
Is there a way to keep the save games when switching to the Proton version?

They should be compatible. It shouldn't matter if you are playing Proton or native version of the game, the save game format should be the same.

Depends on game.

Quoting: Cyba.CowboyIt's no big loss... Feral Interactive do horrible ports, and having a low-quality port available for Linux-based operating systems sends the wrong message to new Linux gamers.

It is total lie and FUD.

Quoting: slapinI guess people saying Proton runs better do that due to some almost religious reasons, as many run windows versions of native games "because they are intended to run this way" or "native Linux ports are not the same as original Windows games and I want original experience" and other obscure reasons, like save games compatibility. And most of them do not even check native port, which is very sad.

I don't think this is true, if you are running Linux and the native port is available, it's the first thing the Steam will try to run. If this doesn't work for you (I found multiple games, where this was true Saint's Row 2, Saint's Row: The Third, Amnesia: Rebirth, Knights & Merchants, Demetrios: The Cynical Adventure) you can try to switch to either Proton or Linux Runtime Container. I found in some cases Linux Runtime Container worked (and it's now working even in flatpak Steam), for example Amnesia: Rebirth was working as charm in Linux Runtime Container, crashed on start otherwise. But most of the others I mentioned were running better in Proton (in case of Demetrios and Knights & Merchants the Linux native version didn't even started on my OS).

Well, I had no problems running all these games natively and spent many hours in them. But I guess people just expect native port won't work and not even try to run natively (as it is seen on Proton github). I.e. SR2/SR3 runs nearly perfectly as well as Amnesia: Rebirth. But I use steam runtime which is for some people is something they won't use and prefer Proton instead which is strange to me.
