i second @FrostyCaveman@lemm.ee
it's fantastic for like 85% of all games, and good to acceptable for like 10%. the only big issue is games with kernel level anti cheats, which is a problem for some gamers, mainly AAA and fps lovers.
Games with kernal anti-cheat should be treated with precisely the level of respect they show to us.
I'm not sure I can give up helldivers at this point tho.
Helldivers 2 works on linux
Kernel level anti cheats that enable Wine/Proton support doesn't actually run in kernel mode on Wine/Proton. Instead it allows itself to be run in user mode provided that it likes the environment enough. And maybe RDTSC latency isn't too high?
Nah. Anything that says "yes, kernel-level anticheats will work here" - I will be out. To the point of LFS and offline games only, if need be
Ahh what's what the previous person meant by competitive games.
You can always check ProtonDB
Love this thanks!
