ProtonDB doesn’t have any report yet but YouTube is full of videos of content creators that got early access to the game. I was curious to know if anyone tried it with Proton and how it works…
EDIT I just installed it and it seems to work out-of-the-box for me on Ubuntu 23.10 with a AMD 7900 XTX and AMD 5800X. I’m getting around 55 fps at 3440x1440 with almost everything high beside having disabled V-Sync, DoF and Motion blur. AA set to TAA 2x.
Bad.
It doesn’t work natively on Windows without stressing even the highest end machines. I guarantee if you try to emulate it, the result will be even worse than the already terrible native experience.
WINE: Wine Is Not an Emulator
API call translation is often very inexpensive and, particularly in the case of DXVK for graphics calls, sometimes actually results in faster code if the underlying API implementation is more performant than the original Win32 equivalent – see Elden Ring launch day performance on Linux vs. Windows for an example of this.
What if we use proton as a translation layer? QEMU or any other emulator seems really overkill for gaming
I guarantee that flew over his head :)
