[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 26 points 5 months ago (1 child) Proton is Wine with dipping sauces and gaming stuff. When it comes to running Windows Programs they'll run basically the same things. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 5 months ago* (3 children) Not necessarily. I've had a couple instances where a game would run in Wine but not in Proton or even GE-Proton. It was Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun. Lol. In Proton (or GE-Proton), the game would run but it wouldn't save games, not even autosaves. But I played it using Wine and it worked totally fine. My point is it's very rare but it can happen. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] PanArab@lemmy.ml 6 points 5 months ago (1 child) Could be that Proton is just a few Wine releases behind, or their customization and extras break a few things unintentionally. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] mactan@lemmy.ml 5 points 5 months ago proton is based on the once a year "stable" releases and only brings in bits and pieces for specific games otherwise permalink fedilink source parent [–] IrritableOcelot@beehaw.org 6 points 5 months ago* (1 child) Proton is still wine with extra sauce. It's just that occasionally the sauce tastes bad :) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 5 months ago Lol, I like that last sentence. Hehe. permalink fedilink source parent [–] netvor@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago (1 child) Good point. Ironically .. i've played exactly the same game in Proton on Steamdeck (I'm assuming that's using Proton; i did not check TBH) just few weeks ago and it all worked just fine. Maybe they fixed it in the meantime or it depends... (But yeah your point stands.) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 5 months ago Yeah this was I think a few months ago so they very well might have fixed that issue.
