BTD6 Is a fun ass game, and doubly so for linux - unless you dont like messing with proton and launch commands for an hour

I don't think anyone would notice the difference, unless it has more antialiasing on Windows.

Tinker Steps:Custom Proton: GE-Proton7-20, Set launch options

WINE_FULLSCREEN_FSR=1 %command%

Audio:Other

There are some vibrating noises when MOAB Shoves are pushing, possibly due to too many audio events at once. Dunno if it's a Proton or BTDB2 issue.

► Multiplayer

Overall (online):Excellent

Only issue I had was a small audio glitch.

99.99% perfect, pretty sure my issues were not due to Proton.

Did get a little laggy when a ton of balloons were on screen. Unsure if this is a Proton or game issue though. It doesn't ruin the experience at all.
