Does protonDB work for Mac titles, or is it only for Windows? I've been able to play basically every game in my steam library on linux using protonDB. I have hundreds of games.
- pdpi 4y agoProton helps you run Windows games on Linux. A few years ago, the problem with Mac games on Steam was running 32-bit Mac games on 64-bit only macOS builds. Now, it's running x86 Mac games on arm64 Macs. Often, we're talking about those same 32-bit games that never got updated to 64-bits x86, let alone arm.
- lloeki 4y agoTheoretically it could, although: > The main Proton issue is that it runs on DXVK, and MoltenVK is not always up to parity with implementing Vulkan API calls on Metal reliably. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/1344#issuecomment-1093053454 https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/1344#issuecom... An alternative would be using CrossOver (which pulls from Wine and adds stuff like MoltenVK), which is what Proton does as well (pulling from Wine and adding stuff, but not MoltenVK) and vendors internally, Valve "just"† doesn't pull from the CrossOver changes nor expose Proton on macOS. † scare quotes because it may not be as easy as it seems
