ProtonDB | User Profile for Günther

Game runs great, sometimes shaders take a while to compile.

Probably works best on Deck capped at 60fps, maybe 75fps. Great experience nonetheless!

Game performs well given you have adequate hardware.

Tinker Steps:Other

Launch with experimental Vulkan implementation.

DXVK and experimental native Vulkan both work great, Vulkan may give more performance.

Cities: Skylines II

Other than the minor input issue, game just works.

Input:Other

Sometimes editing menus in game would randomly close, can get annoying when building long roads and your progress just disappears.

No performance issues, no graphical issues. Feels like native.

Counter-Strike 2

Runs horribly compared to Windows.

Input:Lag

Mouse movement was very hitchy

Performance:Significant Performance Problems

Constant stuttering, framerate constantly swaying between like 60-200fps, not playable

Significant Bugs:

Occasionally freezes up completely for 1-3 seconds

From the horrible stuttering to the mouse hitching and freezing, this game has not been playable for me.

Counter-Strike 2

Game runs great on Linux now.

Around a year ago, the first time I had seriously tried to switch to Linux, the port for Counter-Strike 2 ran absolutely horribly, was completely unplayable on AMD and Nvidia hardware, but now it is fixed. Counter-Strike 2 now runs flawlessly on Linux

Hitman 3 is a great looking game that can be optimized for low-end hardware, and runs as well on Linux as it would natively.

It just works, no tinkering needed.

Project Borealis: Prologue

Overall (online):Excellent

Voice chat, player sync, etc all worked great! Game is P2P without any anti-cheat.

There is no discernable difference between running native on Windows vs through Proton.

Switched to Vulkan API in-game.

Graphics:Other

Some viewmodel shadows are bugged in Vulkan, they render fine when running in DirectX 12 through D3D12VK.

Game works and renders fine with DirectX 12, if you don't mind the minor graphical issues Vulkan can provide better performance, thought DX12 performance is more than adequate!

Spark the Electric Jester

Stuttering and controller issues are a deal-breaker for a fast-paced 2D platformer like this. Oddly it was a lot better on my Deck OLED...

Tinker Steps:Other

Tried many variants of Proton combined with different Proton options.

Input:Controller Mapping, Controller Detection

Controllers were not detected, or mapped incorrectly depending on Proton version or options.

Performance:Significant Performance Problems

Game reports to be running at 60fps, but looks really bad. Uneven framepacing maybe

Not too surprised, game is made on an old janky engine with lots of problems (ClickTeam Fusion I believe)
