I am fully aware of the state of Linux gaming, and I do play game with Proton, but the experience is far from perfect with many games having visual glitches and unexpected crashes. Epic likely do not want to deal with this and Valve will certainly not help a competitor get on their platform . It may be true that for the EAC, it is a switch to be toggled, but this does not show the entire story which is also the game experience.

    Which games have you had visual glitches and crashes?

    The last two games I've played: Lethal Company and BeamNG.Drive, both games that should be basically perfect. They both ran fine enough for me to play for an extended period, but there were some visual glitches like flickering or stuttering.

    Edit: the person talking about echo chambers was so right... I'm getting downvoted for sharing my experience that happens to go slightly (!) contradict the "Linux is the best gaming platform" narrative

    Sounds like you're the only one.. I've played several hours of Lethal Company, and it's ran perfectly.

    Well that must be why on my 2 computers I've had some minor issues like the game crashing for having the misfortune of changing my workspace or having flickering on the top of my screen for 3 hours that persists after restarts and reboots.

    Just because your experience has been perfect does not mean mine and other people's been. This community needs to stop taking criticism of real issues as an insult to their mother.

  • Because I have not been able to isolate and reproduce it yet. I also did no troubleshooting to see if it was present on other proton versions yet. And also the game crashing on workspace switching has been reported in the past, it is a known issue.
