Proton is great.
I have played some games on it and mostly it is parasite apps like EA App or whatever that is a problem.
It Takes Two worked great when running but lunching was always 5-20 minutes of restarts. And two times out of like 8 EA bricked their launcher app with updates and the game stopped working for some days.
The next gaming rig will surely be Linux only for me.
- maccard 4y agoHonestly, nonsense like this happens with Windows gaming too. I can't count the number of times one of my friends has had a networking issue with steam or the windows store, problems with anticheat or other "extra" services like uplay/origin, issues with graphics drivers, and probably most commonly, Audio devices. I'm a game developer, as are the group of people I play with and we still stumble on these issues regularly, it's honestly why consoles are so great.
- Thaxll 4y agoYou blame an app not built to run on Proton to be the issue? EA desktop / origin works just fine on Windows, I use it since 2013 without any issues.
- rightbyte 4y agoYes I do. The game, It Takes Two, works fine, but the EA App does not render so you have to guess where the buttons are, and it also brings nothing of value other than being an annoying launcher. Also the networking in the EA App seems flaky. I am not accusing EA of caring about my Linux gaming experience. But I still blame their app for making it worse for their games they distribute.
- kaba0 4y agoPlenty of “these apps” fail to properly work even on the platform they were designed for. Games are not famous for their reliability/correctness.
