Some improvments over the native version
Alt tabbing was unreliable while loading a world. It was worse on GE-Proton 7.37
, where it wouldn't alt-tab at all while loading. This issue isn't present on the native version of the game.
The memory usage with proton was higher than the native version on my testing world (which had the default entity caps increased).
Version | RAM Usage |
---|---|
Native | ~10.9GB |
Proton 7.04 | ~11.5GB |
GE-Proton 7.37 | ~11.5GB |
The results were repeatable and I retested them all.
The game uses a lot of memory if left unchecked, and while it was worse with Proton, I didn't notice any slowdowns so to speak. This may be an issue on hardware with limited memory.
Running the game through proton made the UI more responsive, but taxed my system's resources more than running the native version. It's hard to say which way of running the game works "best", but at least this gives people a choice on how to run it.
