It's a fun sign of the times that both #BaldursGate3 and #ArmoredCore6 just work perfectly out of the box in Linux under #Proton for me.

For all the "political" issues around stuff like NVIDIA's drivers, and Wayland vs X11, and all that, Linux gaming has never been in as good a state as it is today.

I'm in that place where I have too many amazing games to play and I can't decide which one to spend my time on.

Armored Core 6 stream some time? c.c

@ExpiredPopsicle its been like that for a few years now tbh, elden ring worked out of the box too for me at least

Somewhere I saw FF7R also did at launch, even if it came from the epic store and with like a 20% performance improvement on AMD which convinced me it was time

@ExpiredPopsicle I had a couple of issues with Baldur's Gate 3 as it defaults to DirectX backend rather than Vulkan, and DX just crashed. I also recently had issues with another game which I eventually managed to get working by changing the Proton version to experimental and then back again to 8.x.

But, like, these are the kinds of issues you could easily get on Windows too (not the exact same ofc, but whatever).

Cyberpunk 2077 had a lot of weird issues for me that I didn't have on Windows. But wasn't a big deal. Idk if it's fixed now but this was many months after release.

Raytracing rarely works which is the only real issue I have with Proton still. It works for me in some games though. Control and Portal RTX being some examples. I'd really want this tbh.

Anyway, Proton/Wine is so good that I only very recently noticed that my Windows drive somehow isn't being recognised as bootable anymore and I have no idea how long ago that happened because I haven't tried to use it in a long time xD
