Quoting: subImho bad ports are not an argument against native versions.

It's going the way lots of us expected with Proton.

can you name GOOD linux ports which dropped linux support because of proton?

you still have new linux games as you can read on this site every day. there are still games like Volcanoids, metro or valheim
i mean metro worked perfectly fine with proton. some here already played it with proton and still they made a linux port
same goes with amnesia and many other games

and there also are devs who dropped linux support before proton exists. WITCHER 3 I AM LOOKING AT YOU!!!! or phoenix point

so i dont think we LOSE native games. we lose crappy linux ports and still can play the game in all its beauty with proton

Quoting: GuestValve should be pursuing GNU+Linux native games and Vulkan, however they're the largest vendor of Windows games, so nothing will change going forward.

Maybe it's time to reignite the "No Tux, No Bux" movement?

did this "movement" ever worked on any game? imho devs just ignored it
what they do NOT ignore is the steam deck and proton. very old games get a PROTON fix out of the sudden

i do NOT think valve should force devs to make linux ports. i think valve should lower the cut for games with VULKAN. because vulkan works better with proton. (you all know the benchmarks with vulkan games. they run on linux like on windows. sometimes even better) and that saves battery life and the environment

the steam deck made devs support linux/proton. (who would have thought, that we can play an EA online game like APEX on linux in 2017)
next step is to make them use the OPEN API
and the we can talk about native linux games

Quoting: mylkavery blurry
i tried to crawl with CTRL while running (W). it closed the tab

but that is exactly what i wish to have on steam. try out games immediately

heh.. I'm reminded of a forum post from back when World of warcraft was launched, somebody was furious that keybinding was broken - ALT + F1 - F3 worked perfectly fine by every time he hit ALT + F4 the client would crash. :grin:

i know the shortcut ctrl+w! what i mean is, that it should NOT happen. stadia or gfn does not do this

was kinda clear since hitman 2 did not get a linux version

you need people like 4A games. they made a linux version of metro 3, although it works pretty good with proton

sadly AAA games (onyl if they use directx) need a GOOD native port the most for best performance.
or mimimi games with desperados

if steam deck makes devs using VULKAN more often, then we wont see any disadvantage with proton anymore. that would be a big win against MS.

Quoting: Eike

Quoting: mylkait is more surprising, that just hitman is on the list. 2+3 are basically the same game and but i wouldnt even play hitman 1. i would play it within hitman 2 with the new mechanics

Hitman is natively on Linux:

native, or proton does not matter if its platinum. it has the same mechanics so if you can play hitman, you should also be able to play 2+3
hitman 2 runs better with proton, than hitman 1 native. so as i said. i would play hitman 1 within hitman 2. it has more features

Quoting: melkemindKind of funny to see Rocket League on there when it's no longer even available for sale. Valve is definitely "being the bigger man" in their conflict with Epic.

there are still 50000 ppl playing it (peak on steam) and 10mio+ steam users have this game
https://steamdb.info/app/252950/graphs/ [External Link]

of course they want to play it on the deck

it is more surprising, that just hitman is on the list. 2+3 are basically the same game and but i wouldnt even play hitman 1. i would play it within hitman 2 with the new mechanics

Quoting: lupo_dharkael

certain areas seemingly at random fail to load, with an error message of "Failed to load module"

I fixed that by enabling DNS over HTTPS in the settings.

seems to really work. does it affect any other sites? slower loading time?
