I use this. It works nicely with gog and steam

Yeah, since that update, one of the games I play - XCOM Enemy Unknown - suddenly has extremely poor performance. FPS drops to 3-4 fps. It used to work fine before. I don't know what happened.

I need help!

Maybe your proton version changed. There's a setting to keep the version and game version from updating

No. I looked. It's using the latest wine-ge-proton.

I just reinstalled it, hopefully I still have my save games lol 😅 It's late now so I'll check tomorrow.

There's a reason there are several versions of Proton. Sometimes the older version works better. If you look at ProtonDB, that appears to be the case here.

Aaaah OK. I'll take a look.

To get back to you about using a different version, I've tried downloading older versions as recommended, but I still have the same low FPS problem. I was able to make it run with a high framer ate by adding PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 but this would cause graphical glitches, especially at the start screen with the heat/smoke blur effect which would just turn into black squares.

Sorry to hear that

Do you have protonup-qt installed? Can you try using it to install standard Proton-GE instead of WINE-GE?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Heroic launcher has a proton/wine manager. You can pick from a list and then select the one you want when you run the game.

I tried with both latest and the result was the same.

I know. I meant there's a flapak app that lets you download more and newer versions of Proton. I can't promise it'll fix your issue but it might be worth trying.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

That same functionality is built into Heroic. There's no reason to install a redundant manager.

One of the first apps to get installed on my pc, as soon as yay is setup.
